Product Description:
TrekPod II is Trek-Tech's entry-level combination of a lightweight, height- adjustable hiking staff with a fully-integrated tripod. It incorporates Trek-Tech's MagMount system but uses a cost-effective foam grip and polymer palm rest in place of the original TrekPod's natural cork, uses a non-adjustable wrist strap, and has a dark gray finish. Magmount is an industry first, magnetic quick-release camera and optical device mounting system. It provides for the instant attachment of almost any camera, spotting scope or other device that uses 1/4-20 industry standard mounting stud. MagMount is a standard feature of the TrekPod and TrekPod II, but is also available as a separate accessory. MagMount provides unprecedented levels of flexibility and functionality for outdoor photographers, birders, and hunters. Many additional uses have also been suggested, such as portable lighting, microphone mounting, etc. Once you've used a MagMount in conjunction with any of your optics stabilization tools, you'll wonder why no one thought of this concept before!

Good Product, I would recommend going to a local shop that carries these pods with your camera and hooking it up to check the magnets holding strength. I have a Nikon D80 with a 250mm lens and can click the camera on the magnet and carry it upside down tilt it swivel it whatever and it doesn't come off as long as you are moving slow. If you hit jar or move it quickly it will break free thats why it comes with a safety latch.
Weighing less than 2 pounds it is very portable and easy to ... Read More

I think the above 5-star reviewer works for the vendor. This is a very bad product, and is over-priced even at that.
I was actually looking for a Walking Stick monopod that could be used as a walking stick instead of strapping it to something. This thing may look like one, but it is unusable. The reason? They decided to put the 3 legs of the fold-out tripod as the actual feet that would be in continual contact with the ground. THese little things have a tiny piece of rubber at the end. ... Read More

The TrekPod II offers the creativity and performance that no other product has ever come close; it is a world class monopod that can convert into a functional tripod in seconds.
I am a lot disappointed and a little tired of seeing these folks who blame their own faults onto the gear. You have to know your gear; its abilities and limitations. Every design on earth, including us humans, have its limitations. These don't make it good or bad, it just elevates the importance of knowing the operating ... Read More

I am a professional photographer... just returned from a trip to Zion National Park where I had hoped the TrekPod would be "just the thing" to help me photograph "The Narrows". The TrekPod turned out to be a great concept... with a terrible design. First of all, it is really too heavy to work very well as a hiking staff. I would just as soon have been carrying a light tripod instead (which would have been much more stable). The "fatal flaw" in the design, however, is the "magnetic connection" that attaches ...

This item would have recieved a very high rating, if all the parts had been included with it as advertized. The LF Mag Adapter that is supposed to be included with the tripod was not in the box. The response from the retailer (Adorama) was basically that I should look harder (for the part in the box). Wow, that was really not helpful, rest assured that I have examined the boxes, and the part is not there. Is this what passes for customer sevice these days?

Cunard Line has announced that its new
85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be
named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

Cruise
Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will
operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries,
Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,
the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining.
There will also be a unique Colonial Restaurant on Deck 11 with spectacular
panoramic views.
Queen Victoria cruises will offer a wide range of
accommodations, large standard outside cabins (170 square feet) and a high
percentage of balcony cabins (67%), thereby bringing new levels of luxury and
choice to passengers preferring to depart from a European port. Cruise

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
