It's light enough to walk with but sturdy enough to hold my camera as well as any monopod I've had. I've also used the Leki trekking poles that have the handle than unscrews to hold a camera. Those are better for hiking than they are for photography. It just takes too long to stop and unscrew the handle, find a place to put it, screw the camera it and the undo it all after you've taken the photo. They don't adjust to be as high as the Gitzo either. I love my Gitzo (Thanks, Brian!) Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
