Trekking Pole Tripod

[Freezing Moon]

I want to turn my trekking poles into a tripod for mounting my binos. There are a lot of posts about the Wiser Quick Stix and adaptor, but I can't find anyone who has done this in a more DIY way. The Quick Stix look like a good buy but I'm not sold on $125 for their clip on adaptor. I have a carbon pole I'd use as the third leg and just need to figure out a way to join it to the two poles and mount the binos. Anyone done this?

I know its not quite what youre asking for but Alpyn has tripods that you can disconnect two of the legs and turn them into trekking poles. If the goal is a quick cheap option to turn your existing gear into a tripod this isnt it but if the goal is to slim down gear and combine the two tools into one this is a good option. Theres also an attachment that would allow you to combine the two legs into a carbon pole for your tent if needed.

That's a cool idea. It's definitely coming at the same issue, just from the opposite direction since I have poles already. Could be a good fit for someone who wants a more high-end tripod setup.
