Great hiking monopod / stick

I added a GoPro mount to the stick and used it for panoramic photos and videos while hiking. The cane fits nicely on the outside of my backpack and stretches to a longer length than I need for normal purposes. The extra length comes in handy for 360 photos like the one attached, as it gives me more height to take 360 degree photos of tiny planets. Since I use it for both my walking stick and monopod, the only issue I found was the tip of the mandrel. It comes with a rubber tip, which I usually screw into the ground, and a metal spike, which is good for off-road hiking. I used it to climb the mountain to see the volcano in Iceland. It worked, but kept getting wobbly. I just kept making it tighter. Since then,
