when backpacking or just hiking I often find that i am alone and when if want a picture of my self it always ends up blurry and out of focus. so after looking around online for a small tripod, i found the stick pic which you screw you camera on then push the stick pic on the end of your hiking pole. i fell in love with the idea until I saw the price $11 for a plastic ring and a bolt! realising that i could make this far cheaper set out to do so.
