Originally posted by Canada_Rockies They look deadly, but they are "medical equipment". I have no idea how they would be treated, but suspect that her titanium knees will set off the beepers long before the spikes will.
One could check them in baggage, or disassemble them and remove them for the flight.
More importantly, do any of you actually think they would be useful. My thoughts are:
a. easier cleaning mud out of these things than the traditional retractable spike feet. When you get mud clogged up in the old kind, almost have to disassemble them to clean. These, a hosing off would do the trick.
b. much bigger spike, better holding in things like loose sand, etc.
c. i've got 3 genuine Manfrotto feet headed my way for about 30 plus dollars or these 3 swing up spikes for 27. looks like better functionality.
