Q. Who is Rod and David?
A. Just two guys who like backpacking.

Q. How did you think of the idea?
A. Already explained here.

Q. How much does the StickPic weigh?
A. Since we make 5 different sizes to fit most trekking poles, the average weight is only 10.8 grams.

Q. I don't know what 10.8 grams look like? Can you describe it?
A. Yes, it's about the same as 3 1/2 Saltine non salted crackers.

Q. Will the StickPic fit my trekking poles?
A. We have a running list of trekking poles that will work with the StickPic here. If you don't see your trekking poles on the list, don't worry. We can make a custom made StickPic at no extra charge then add it to the list. Just contact us and let us know.

Q. Will the StickPic fit my camera?
A. Most cameras sold in North America have a standard tripod socket on the bottom of the camera that accepts a standard 1/4 -20 threaded screw. If you bought your camera overseas, you might have a metric tripod socket. Don't worry, we can make one that fit these cameras too.

Q.How long will it take to attach the StickPic to my camera?
A. About 5 seconds

Q. I mean, from start to finish. Say I want to use the StickPic to take 1 picture. How long will it take and how easy is it to do it?
A. After a little practice, it will only take you less than 1 minute to attach the StickPic to your camera, attach it to your trekking pole, set the timer and take the picture. It's that easy. Remember,"Practice makes Perfect"

Q. Can I leave the StickPic on my camera?
A. Sure, why not. This way you are only seconds from taking that great self portrait!

Q. Do I really need to attach the wrist strap to the trekking pole?
A. It's highly recommended. This way you will feel safe with your camera hanging over a stream or hanging over a cliff while taking the shot.

Q. My camera does not have locking slider thingy on the wrist strap? What can I do about it?
A.Wrap the strap around the trekking pole like this. It's one of many ways to do it.

Q. What are the StickPic made from?
A. Currently we only offer the StickPic made from a plastic called Delrin. Otherwise known as Acetal.

Q Can you make the StickPic from Aluminum or other materials?
A. Yes we can, but its not available at this time.

Q. Weren't you two guys at the ADZ Kickoff this year?
A. Yes we were. At the K.O., we gave away more than 150 of our original designed StickPics to 2008 PCT thru hikers that attended the KO. Free of charge.

Q. What do you mean, you gave them away for FREE?
A. We know that nobody can test gear better than a PCT thru hiker. These guys and gals count every single gram since they have to carry it for the next 3000 miles in the next 5 -6 months from Mexico to Canada. The only thing we asked, was to give us some honest feedback and suggestions for future improvements.

Q. How can I get one of your StickPic's for a gear review?
A. Contact us here. Let's talk about it.

Q. I can really help you guys out promoting the StickPic. I know at least a dozen people who would be buy it.
A. That's great to hear! Contact us here. Let's talk about it.

Q. Rumors has it that you have a new and improved StickPic in the works. What's different about it?
A. You heard right. Thanks to the suggestions and feedback many of our Beta testers, we made improvements to how the StickPic attaches to camera. See it here.

Q. Does that mean the original StickPic had a design flaw?
A. No. Actually the original design work perfectly fine. It just takes a little tweaking to mount it just right. If carrying 3 grams less than the improved StickPic is important to you, then the original StickPic is just right for you.

Q. Are you still making the original StickPic?
A. We are still making the original StickPic in limited numbers.

Q. Are you still supporting the original StickPic?
A. Yes, until the day we die.

Q. I'm currently beta testing the original StickPic and would like to test your latest model. Can I get one for free?
A. If you are a registered tester with us, we may work something out. We have a limited quantity of "2nd" that have minor imprinting flaws but are completely functional. Contact us us here and lets talk about it.
