After reading the previous reviews that didn't have the specifics I wanted, I took a chance, and here's what I have so far: total weight is 10 oz. Extended this trekking pole measures 54" (a bit short for a monopod), collapsed it is 27". It telescopes at two points, both which use twist/friction locks. Once locked, I could put considerable weight on the pole without any slipping, the pole bowing some instead. The grip is foam rubber (a plus in the rain) and the wrist strap is both adjustable and removable. The teeth on the carbide tip are not as deep as other treking poles I have used. The cap for the tip is push on, not screw or twist on, so there is some risk of losing it. The baskets are threaded, reducing the risk of losing them. The woodem knob unscrews to reveal a camera mounting screw. The compass doesn't work on mine.
Overall it is what I'm looking for, but I will post an update after I actually take it backpacking.
