A through-hiker on the Pacific Coast Trail reaches a major mile marker on her 2,700-mile, six-month hike. It’s
7:00 in the morning and she is standing alone on the top of MT. Whitney. The weather is perfect and she can see for miles in all directions. A Kodak moment!

This hiker has two choices: wait hours for someone to come along and take this perfect photo or attempt to take a self- portrait by stretching her arm out as far as she can holding the camera in her hand and trying to guess at a good angle. These self portraits usually end up very disappointing with a blurred close-up of a face and very little scenery in the background.

Now visualize this:

While alone on top of MT. Whitney, this hiker pulls out her 10-gram StickPic, quickly attaches her camera to the end of her hiking pole, and snaps a beautiful, well-proportioned, perfectly centered picture of herself and her surroundings. Even better, while using the StickPic, she uses the video feature on her digital camera and makes a vivid documentary about her trip. If a picture says a thousand words, a video says a million!

Please allow us to introduce the StickPic. Invented by two backpackers from California, Rod Java and David Lopez, Two ordinary guys with one of those “Why didn't I think of that?” ideas.

Weighing only 10.5 grams, it comes in five different models, to fit 90% of all common trekking poles. A prototype of the original StickPic was first introduced to the hiking community at the Tenth Annual Day Zero Pacific Crest Trail Kick Off (ADZPCTKO) at Lake Morena County Park in San Diego on April 25, 2008. We now have 150 through-hikers testing the StickPic on their journeys and we’re gathering comments, suggestions, and success stories to help us perfect this exciting product.

We are a small cottage manufacturer with a single product. We do everything ourselves. Web site design, marketing, assembly, packaging and customer service, just to name a few.

We rely on trail chat, text messages, online profile pages, blog post, message board threads, instant messages, emails, gear reviews and word of mouth advertising for all of our marketing needs.

Flattering rumors, gossip, innuendo and hearsay are also welcomed.
