How well does this work as a cane? It seems like three legs

I find that it is kind of shaky...built in a very weak fashion. I do not really care for it, although the concept is good.

It is 3 legs when folded down. When folded up, though, the single leg becomes the 'cane'. Hope this helps.

I don't need it to help support me like a regular cane, but I believe it work for that. You might check on the maximum weight they suggest. I'm 180 lbs and it was OK but maybe not a whole lot more. Good Luck

I am sorry, I no longer use this cane. It was heavy for me. I received as a gift, a Hurrycane and that is now what I use and do like it very much

It stands on the three legs, as pictured. It wouldn't work in a door frame, it would just get in the way.

I know what you mean. Its a nice cane and so far seems strong. Its a bit heavy and your hand can get tired from holding it.

A good cane would probably be better. But since the walking stick can be extended to a "walking stick", it might be better than a cane.

It is a very sturdy cane. The handle is resin so the curved part of the head will break if dropped just right but I use it in place of my regular cane and it works very well. The cane is not adjustable so you want to make sure it is the right height for you. As others said, this is more of a dress cane so if you are looking for something to use occasionally, this is a nice cane.

I use my cane with this tip every day and though to just feel the tip you would say it is rigid, when you walk with it there is flexion in the feet. I have several canes and I have this tip on all of them. The feet will definitely flex enough to follow the terrain. I really recommend it.

Hi Hugh...no..the ball does not move...hope you are aware that the cane is to be at a certain height when you walk with it, when you add this Tripod, it will make the cane taller, you need to adjust this...it is difficult to push the Tripod on, what I did was, use a small amount of WD-4 to make it slide on, but any oil or grease will do, and then I pounded it down by banging is on cement floor to make it go up the cane...go online and ask the question "what is the correct height for canes and walkers" ...take care, and keep the strap around your wrist yours truly William

The base does not pivot, but if the cane tips over, just use your foot to right it.

I was not able to find anything. The cane that I had bought this for did not fit because it was too thin. I was unable to use it. If anyone can figure it out, I could use the answer too. Sorry. Did not realize when purchasing that it would not fit.

Not quite sure what you are asking but I think it is a fabulous cane. It doesn't stand on it's own but it is light and easy to pull apart so you can put it into a bag or on a seat.

Hi. I'm 5' 11" tall. 250lbs. I use my model of this cane primarily for balance. My Doctors say it's a bit tall for me. If Doctors knew what they were talking about they could cure me. :) I've been using it for over a year and it hasn't let me down,,, well it's done its best to keep me from falling and has kept me from doing so more times than I can count. It's a good stick.

I think it might be difficult to use with the 4 section base but the clamp at the top is very good/strong and you could place the cane in this clamp higher up or lower down so the feet didn't touch the wheels . For the price I think it is an excellent buy and worth the try.

Yes, it does well on low-pile carpet. Yes, I used it to help aid myself up and down from a sitting position while recovering from a severely shattered ankle. However, while it is quite sturdy it still is a cane and has limitations as such. When I needed more help with mobility and aid where the support structure was guaranteed to bear my full weight without moving, I used a walker.

I used mine at the beach for stability and it worked well. The measurement is approximately 4"x4" with 5 contact areas - 1 at each corner and in the middle. Counting the part that goes on the cane it is approximately 3" high or approx. 2 1/4" high (that just the part from the bottom of the cane. It is heavier but not so heavy to be cumbersome. It worked really well on sand, sidewalks and uneven surfaces. It usually will stand on it's own with the wide base, but it doesn't take much to knock it over. I forget the weight capacity but it's heavy duty. If your Mom can use a regular cane this should work too. Hope this helps. I do recommend the cane tip.

I would suggest finding a shorter cane. I am 5' 3" and find it to be a little long at its shortest setting.

Yes, there are three screws, one for each rubber foot because once you loose a foot, the screw has vanished. Unusual that the cane slipped out from under you. Two feet usually have enough grip so you don't fall.
