I have a set of carbon fiber spreader bars for the WBRR that I had Josh make for me. I asked him to make me ones that could convert into a long walking staff. It turned out amazing IMHO. They are size 710 poles. They split into four pieces in total. 3 of those pieces can be connected together via locking ferrules to form a 5 foot long (chin height) super strong staff. You can even connect all four pieces, but it’s not a practical length at that point. I even asked him to make a piece to go on the top end in staff mode that has a standard camera mount bolt for using it as a selfie stick or monopod. That also turned out amazing. I wrapped the upper section with rubber tape for extra grip.
There are more details worth explaining, but it would take a while. So let me know if you are interested. I am no longer using a WBRR hammock, yet I really enjoyed using it as a staff. So I am currently working with him on a new design that is more streamlined for someone who just wants a cool staff, but not one that doubles as a set of spreader bars.
I don’t have pics of it at the moment, but here is me using it. The camera grip is attached on the first pic, so it is a few inches shorter when that is removed.
