Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

Perfect on level hard surfaces. If the ground slants you have to pay attention. It is better than standing for hours. It is usually comfortable. Very light weight. With just a little care it will not grab you like the TSA.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

Spending lots of time in the field chasing wildlife or Surfers on the beach (sometimes they are one and the same), you really only have two options. Stand up or sit on your case, backpack, the ground basically whatever is around. The beauty of this stool is that it is light in weight yet good and sturdy. Sits high enough for you to be able to swing a long lens to where the action is or stand and move easily. The downfall of other chairs I have tried is they are heavy to cary to locations and tend to draw you into the chair making it a little slower to react.

The bonus of this product is it is very light. Downfall for the male shooters; you must be aware of where you are dresses in the gentelmanly manner as the chance of squashing something can be high.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

Had mine for about a year now. Biggest use is for painting (landscapes, not walls) but also take it to live shows. Anypolace you have to walk around forb long enough that sitting down thoughts occupy your mind. 6'6", 280 pounds. Strong, very lightweight, super quick open/close. Carries in it's own shoulder bag and I can forget it's even there. Comfortable. I'm confident of its strength. Pricey but worth it. Flimsy stools offer no comfort or security to me. This is one of those products that is built right and delivers on its promises. Haven't tried it under the Volvo yet.

I photograph birds as a hobby as well as other wildlife and find having a stool saves my knees, much easier to rise from a stool than from the ground when the moment arrives.

I have difficulty standing for any length of time. This is perfect. It is very light, is collapsible, and is comfortable to sit on. Everyone who was seen it loves it- from adults to my grandkids.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

My husband took me to one of the largest Farm Shows, in Louisville, KY. I knew if we went he would tire easily and want to go quickly. So, a friend of ours had these, and I decided it was just what we needed. And, boy did it come in handy. Eating lunch there at the concessions stands, no place to sit. Not us, I just pulled out the walk stools and we could sit where ever we wanted and whenever we wanted.

Thanks to the people at Walkstool, you made our trip to the farmshow wonderful!

very handy worth the investment if you need to rest while you wait for the right light.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

This stool has given me the ability to shoot from lower angels and has taken a great weight off of my knees. It has already made my shots more interesting by giving me another angle to shoot from.

Great for the knees and very sturdy.

No complaints so far.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

This is great for those long waits for the bird to return to roost, especially in conjunction with my tripod and Wemberly. My only detraction is that it is fixed-height, not adjustable. The manufacturer claims you can use it without extending the legs, but the "footprint" is so small as to make it like riding a unicycle. Well built, sturdy, lightweight.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

Very comfortable chair! I'm 300 Lbs and it held me without a sound nor buckle. I have back problems so having this available to me all the time is wounderful. And it's light enough to take with you all the time. It is expensive! But for me it's well worth it. And if you want a comfortable, light chair that you can take with you all the time, and if you have a back or knee problem then this is the chair for you! And in NYC it draws a lot of attention..

This stool takes a load off of my feet. It's easy to carry, easy to set up and holds me well.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

After receiving the Walkstool I attached it to my camera bag backpack via a bungee cord. As soon as I started my hike, the extension legs started sliding down (from the closed folded posistion) and started to hit me in the lages & backside. I removed my backpackpack and tried to lock the legs closed. No luck! the legs just won't stay closed when you carry the walkstool in the verticial position. You well have to place the stool the the carring bag to keep the legs for sliding open . This is a pain because everytime that you wan't to use th stool you well have to remove it form the carring bag .
This is a German designed product and someone was not thinking.
I have solved the problem by attaching the stool upside- down so the legs stay in place. Still poor design.

As a wildlife photographer I'm sometimes required to sit for hours at a time waiting for the right moment. I needed a stool that was light, yet strong enough to support my 255#'s.

This stool is amazing. It's fits in the monopod holder on my camera bag yet is sturdy and comfortable.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

Love this thing. Packs up small. Surprisingly comfortable. It makes long days a little bit shorter.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

Finally a way to rest your back, etc. when shooting cyclocross or other racing. Can't imagine not having it and I expect to enjoy it more when snow flies but races go on. The photographer's deer stand.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

Expensive, but worth it as it is light strong sturdy and a pleasure to use. It's a case of "you get what you pay for"

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

I'm a outdoor photographer, I've been using this stool for over a year and think it's great. I weight over 300lbs and the stool has held up with out issue. The stool isn't the most comfortable thing but when you're on your feet for long periods and just want to take a load off for a few minutes it works great. Greg [@]

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

One of the best tools I walk around with effortlessly! This stool is worth ever penny of it's admittedly high price. I use this product and really beat it up with only the rubber feet wearing away, reasonably so since I use it on asphalt and concrete a lot. The horrible review this product received is absolutely unwarranted. Anyone I invite to sit on it is totally blown away by its comfort and light weight.

Comments about Walkstool Comfort 65 XX-Large Folding Stool:

I have looked for a stool like this for some time. One that was tall enough that you were not squatting when you sat down and strong enough not to bend. When I found this I thought it would be ideal. When I received the stool it looked impressive, well built and engineered. The first time I used it one of the legs bent enough that it will no longer retract. The specifications rate the stool for 550 lbs but my 195 was evidently too much. At nearly $100 after s&h I expected much more.
