Walkstool Comfort 55cm/22in. Folding Seat for Outdoors - Walkstool WA22

Over the years I've put on a few extra pounds and struggled with arthritis in my knees. I am passionate about photography but find it difficult to hike long distances or stand for very long without sitting down for a couple minutes. This lightweight stool is exactly what I was looking for. It costs a little more than other stools but it comes with a case, is easy to carry, fast to set up, and I feel secure sitting on it. Great item--I should have bought it months ago!

I got this item to use with doing Macro Photography. I can no longer kneel after an injury and this works!
First it is totally and completely solidly built. It has HUGE feet that makes it so much more secure. I had a lower priced item similar to this but always felt like it was going to tip over. This does not give you that feeling. It is extremely light weight and comes in a little tote bag that has a long sling like attachment Making it easy to sling over your shoulder. It has be used low to the ground or fully extended to a normal sitting height.
It is a comfortable seat and works in lots of different situation. I bought this for photography but have used it for viewing fireworks at the park, enjoying a concert at the beach, photography at a local sports game and for macro photography of flowers and butterflies.
I highly recommend this for anyone that needs a portable secure, safe seat. I will be using this for years and years.

I had gone through several versions of portable stools in my work as a professional sports photographer. Stools are allowed or even required for some events like pro soccer or in the photo well at some MLB parks (where there never seem to be enough chairs and paying fans are sometimes right behind you so you can't stand up). I tried a free three-legged stool given by my bank; it lasted two games before one of the legs broke. I bought one at local sporting good store - it made it through 4 games before the webbing started to rip off two of the legs. Then a buddy showed me his WalkStool and I knew this would be a product I could use. It's built like a Swedish tank (I think the company is Swedish). Not only is it very, very strong, but It can be quickly folded up and snapped to your belt or other equipment, and it's so light you hardly notice it's there.

Don't waste your time trying to save a few bucks. I weigh > 200 pounds and really didn't want to be sitting on something only to have it give way underneath me when I needed it most.

The stool feels very sturdy. I bought it to pack along on photowalks. It folds up compactly and is not difficult to carry along.

The only concern I have are the plastic parts. They feel pretty sturdy, but let's see how well they hold up. I am afraid that in cold weather they may become brittle.

I am an avid birder. Unfortunately, I am also sixty-seven and have back trouble. Many of the best sites for birds have nowhere except the ground to sit and rest which is hard on your back and your clothes. This stool comes with me when I go to birding and it has been wonderful. It is surprisingly light to carry and easy to set up. It is also quite comfortable when you sit on it. It has enabled me to go further than I could before and has saved a lot of wear and tear on me. One other nice thing as well. When you first enter an area, the birds tend to freeze in place until they become accustomed to your presence. With this stool, you can sit quietly AND comfortably until the birds become used to you and start moving again.
