This winter doctor found me a lung cancer, I am going through treatment and thing are going well, problem is with walking, I run out a breath easy, I have a walking stick and that help a great lot, now what I would like, would be a good and solid monopod that could also be used as a walking stick, and a stand for my camera and binocular. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Mike

All the best for your recovery!

There are also some walking sticks with an adapter for cameras in the grip, e.g. by Leki: http://shop.leki.com/en/product.php?product_id=50722
