For ramblers, hikers and general all-terrain rugged folks looking to capture some outdoors photography, lugging a decent tripod around can be a bit of a chore, so Trek Technologies are hoping that their hybrid tripod/walking stick will prove a hit.
A hybrid what do we hear you ask? Well, indeed. It might seem like a curious creation on paper but it’s even weirder when you get your hands on the thing.

Aimed at pros looking for a carry-everywhere SLR back-up and mustard-keen photo enthusiasts who insist on manual options galore, the compact LX3 comes in moody black and no-nonsense silver colour finishes.
