My son is a famous musician and software engineer at 24 being blind his entire life is just like being sited for him he also is always looking for a smart cane thank you
Sam, I have an update after having the LS&S cane for a year. The one on Amazon fell apart after 90 days. The LS& S one has a small issue with those collars on the bottom of each section, where they will separate from their section, and slip down onto the one below. They can be pushed back, but you'll need a gorilla, and several minutes. Also, the strap is in an open hole, so, if it falls into the hanle, it's lost. Users can just tie a knot in the strap above the hole. The LS&S cane has 9 sections in 54". I use it as my primary guide cane. The Amazon cane is coming from China. The LS&S one comes from America.
Hi Sam! Thanks for this. Wanted to share that I’ve had one of these for about two years and generally, I like it. Shortly after I got it, I jammed it in a sidewalk during a walk and it bent slightly and was difficult to close, but I was able to straighten it and it is still quite strong. As you point out, it doesn’t do well on rough surfaces. Even so, I use it frequently now because it’s so compact. I will add that if you pack it in a carry-on as a back-up, it may raise suspicion with the TSA, as it has with me, because it looks like a weapon when it’s collapsed. I’ve had to open it up and show them that it was a cane. Great review! Sorry I didn’t share this cane with you sooner.
Hey Sam. I really like this cane. Another good place that this cane would be good for is if you are at home and need to use a cane to get around the house. I could also see possibly using this cane like if you go into a store or a restaurant to guide you through the store and stuff but when you leave the store you would, fold it up and collapse it and and if you have a sided guide with you with the sided guide with done help guide you when you go outside.
Hey there Sam! I actually just watched a prior telescopic cane video last night. These canes seem pretty great, i didn’t know anything like this has ever existed. I barely use my cane, but am trying to use it more. This cane seems pretty good for that, of corse with the tip issue, but just keep us posted if you find a solution or better canes than this one appears! Thx for what you do man!
Don’t use your white cane as a form of mobility. Use it as a way to normalize that you are blind and that there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. That’s gonna take a lot of time. But the more you practice with your cane in the view of other people, the more confidence you’re going to build. your life as a whole will improve
Glad to see a positive review. I bought this for my legally blind friend earlier this year since his previous telescopic cane shattered after a few months of use. Tho I always thought it would be cool if they made a telescopic cane like in the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie. Meaning push button and it extends or at least extends out with flick of wrist.
Oh it looks like a great backup/ emergency cane to keep in my backpack/ bag when I’m travelling as my “spare” folding cane had the elastic “overstretch” while it was folded so when I finally needed to use it in an emergency it had too much “wobble” to be safe. It was actually safer to use the cane whose rollerball I’d used to destruction (the ball split along the join line and sounded a bit like a maraca when I shook it).
Sam, I have been using the similar telescopic cane from last 5 years. It is strong and very functional. It has also got the pin what you have mentioned. I got this from South Korea when I have visited Soul back in 2018.
Do you suggest the We Walk came to help me navigate roads in my very small neighborhood? I like to get out and walk a little but sometimes I get turned around and lost. Thank you so much in advance.
Hi Sam, I’ve had one of these for about a year and a half. I’m very hard on my canes very hard. I’ve actually popped a few of the collars off of it and sometimes the handle will separate from the rest of the shaft but otherwise it’s a pretty good back up.
Pam here…. I wonder if a roller tip like the marshmallow one i have on my California Cane? Love those tips. Hate all the catching of any tips, but hate those massive snowball tips.
My no Jab cane just broke a few days ago and I was thinking of seeing if there was a better telescopic cane and here you are coming in a clutch with this video but thanks for your honesty about the tip that may be a deal-breaker but I will definitely keep this one in mind
The cold weather issue you mentioned has actually been solved. It involves an ancient technology known as a "glove." ;) Just having your hand out exposed in the cold to wind and rain is an issue with any cane. I just tuck knit gloves into each other and carry them along in cooler times of the year. Or swap those out for leather gloves for even colder temps. Or, gods forbid, snow or ice times, I swap those out for ski gloves. Mischief managed! ;) Oh, and I use an NFB telescoping cane, 69 inch, as my primary cane. I love the fact it easily reduces to less than a foot and can be tucked away. I like the metal tips this cane uses for tactile feedback. I do pull out and twist each section every time. But as you said, it will collapse every so often. Especially transitioning from warm to cold temps, since materials shrink when temps drop. You get the opposite effect, expansion, as you go into warm temps from cold temps, which can lock the cane segments in place and it is nearly impossible to collapse if you wait too long and the sections expand too much. I've been using these canes for years, since they were developed I think, and preferred the older material to the new fiberglass, but that is the only option now.
Thank you for the critique. And letting us know who it would be best for. I got the Aware wolf All terrain cane on your recommendation and it's fabulous for my needs.
thanks, I am looking for an ID cane.. I have a regular cane but I find it is way too long since I only need an ID cane , any suggestions other than the one for ID would be great
I'd like to try this cane out, it seems pretty cool. However, I can't get into the details of the video to access the link. Sometimes that happens while using voiceover. Is there a way you can post the link in the comments?
I’ve never heard of a telescopic cane before. I clicked on this video out of curiosity and it looks so cool! BTW I like the cat when “Editing Sam” came on.
Hi sam thank you for your videos. My question is not related to your video but maybe you can help me. On the s23 ultra you can use smart select and air commands but i cannot use it because.the phone gives an error.which says i cannot use it with magnifier.enabled. is there a work around for.this?
Unfortunately, says "currently unavailable" on both links. Tried to contact LSS for international shipping several times a month ago, zero response... Found another seller that could ship it to Europe, though they have a minimum order value that would require me to buy 2 spare canes essentially, which isn't too great. Hope amazon will have back on offer.
I was definitely interested in this cane but I like the cane to have a rolling tip and I guess this one does not but still really want it but probably not gonna get it because it doesn’t have the rolling tip
Well now I know why custom cans ain’t advertising that one no more because Amazon cut them in half they were asking 70 for that one and the tip on that one that you touch tip that’s why I don’t lie on anything except indoor stuff and I use all the time in Clips mode because it’s slides over everything in collapse mode and you got more touch And you’re not killing yourself with your cane most people can’t use a telescopic game because they’re too heavy-handed on their cane. That’s why it collapses on them all the time.
I bought this cane and put a tennis ball on the tip, now it glides over cracks while still allowing me to feel them. I got three tennis balls in a package from Amazon for $20 There's nothing else I could find on there that was even close to those prices.
It’s too bad I can’t get this at length 68. I have been using NFB style canes for quite a while now, and I’m looking for a long, collapsing telescoping came like this.
Sam, Are you aware of the telescoping locking titanium cane from? Guide lights and gear? Created by Barry Schuer. Barry says this telescoping cane from Amazon/China, is a cheap knock off of his design. Would be interested in a review by you. Thanks!
Nice try Sam, but your 1 and 2 on your prior cane recommendations. I bought the POS telescoping cane, the threaded tip came off in an intersection in DC. I bought the see me cane and it broke in a few uses. I won’t be fooled again.
I like the material that you showed but I would not buy that cane Because if you need it for suwhore or self-defense, it would not be a good idexamine. Legally blind. And I walk with 2 grade 5 titanium solid rod One piece Titanium Walking sticks And I like them a lot

Is their a replacement for the tip
@@danalexander3979What if there was a perfect cane that works?

Thanks for another great video, brother. Seems like a good cane to pack in the bugout bag and maybe an emergency cane for the office.
Have to say a little sad about the tip not being good I like the lighter telescopic canes so if something changes that would be cool
I don't even use a cane but I liked your videos so I watched it!
I have low vision but the vision I have is sufficient enough to navigate on my own.
Sam, I have been using the similar telescopic cane from last 5 years. It is strong and very functional. It has also got the pin what you have mentioned. I got this from South Korea when I have visited Soul back in 2018.

Hey, just received mine today, really like it.
Hi Sam, I’ve had one of these for about a year and a half. I’m very hard on my canes very hard. I’ve actually popped a few of the collars off of it and sometimes the handle will separate from the rest of the shaft but otherwise it’s a pretty good back up.
Wow, you are hard on them, lol!

I am in total agreement with you Sam. If they could make a different tip this would be a great cane.
Because of this video I absolutely love this cane. And I went ahead and got it. I think it's just a great cane. I recommend it.
I ordered the cane. But wondering what tip you think might be better. I have full machine shop at work and can make one

love the all terrain cane as well. looking forward to the urban xplorer cane there about to come out with as well.
thanks, I am looking for an ID cane.. I have a regular cane but I find it is way too long since I only need an ID cane , any suggestions other than the one for ID would be great
The link doesn't work. Can you provide an updated link?
Thanks for making this video
I'd like to try this cane out, it seems pretty cool. However, I can't get into the details of the video to access the link. Sometimes that happens while using voiceover. Is there a way you can post the link in the comments?
Updated, thanks for reminding me!
I’ve never heard of a telescopic cane before. I clicked on this video out of curiosity and it looks so cool! BTW I like the cat when “Editing Sam” came on.
Lol, I like him too, I think I will keep him!
Great cane Sam, wish it came with different tips and unfortunately amazon are currently sold out 😞 but thanks for the great video (A’s always)
amazon links don't seem to work anymore...
Very nice cane. Mine is a 65 inch length.
Hi sam thank you for your videos. My question is not related to your video but maybe you can help me. On the s23 ultra you can use smart select and air commands but i cannot use it because.the phone gives an error.which says i cannot use it with magnifier.enabled. is there a work around for.this?
I don't believe so. For some reason , certain features are not available when other features are turned on. It's super frustrating.
I’d like to try it out but at 6’2, I usually use a 66” cane. 60” is going to have me weirdly hunched over if I try to use it.
Did it come with the black handle mine didn't
Unfortunately, says "currently unavailable" on both links. Tried to contact LSS for international shipping several times a month ago, zero response...

Got one on order - looks to be a good travel cane or easy to carry. Need a backup anyways so why not try this one.
Can you please let us no where I can buy this Amazon does not have this
I was definitely interested in this cane but I like the cane to have a rolling tip and I guess this one does not but still really want it but probably not gonna get it because it doesn’t have the rolling tip
Super informative!!!!

That’s why it collapses on them all the time.
How long is the skein when it's fully collapsed? 11:35
As I said in the video, 11 inches.
Might be a good cane to carry in a purse for use with my guide dog
I bought this cane and put a tennis ball on the tip, now it glides over cracks while still allowing me to feel them. I got three tennis balls in a package from Amazon for $20 There's nothing else I could find on there that was even close to those prices.

amzn.to/3Ru1ZMT
Thanks
I bought one to replace my old folding cane it's very inpressive
It's already out of stock on amazon :(
It's not white. Does the tip roll?
I just ordered one, at least it may dent a car that tries to hit me…lol
An you change the tips?
Yeah yours closed is more white and mine is a glow in the dark color lol,
It also glows in the dark.
I'm not seeing any glowing on mine.
It is the rings that come together like a traffic cone that glows on mine
Sam,
Are you aware of the telescoping locking titanium cane from?

Would be interested in a review by you.
Thanks!
No, I wasn't aware, but I will look into this. Thank you.
You got a link to the product?
Nice try Sam, but your 1 and 2 on your prior cane recommendations. I bought the POS telescoping cane, the threaded tip came off in an intersection in DC. I bought the see me cane and it broke in a few uses. I won’t be fooled again.
Oh man, that sucks! So sorry about that!
Hi, the cane is great. Why is it called telescopic?
Because it opens up like a pirate's ☠️ telescope!
You got it!
THE we walk Kane is better than this correct
I like the material that you showed but I would not buy that cane Because if you need it for suwhore or self-defense, it would not be a good idexamine. Legally blind. And I walk with 2 grade 5 titanium solid rod One piece
Titanium Walking sticks And I like them a lot
can you try to learn a languge
