What you really want is not a two-legged collar around the bottom of a monopod, but a monopod with a locking, spring-loaded split at the bottom of the lower section. Sleeker. Less conspicuously different from a monopod.

 

The same technology could be fitted to the lower extremity of a walking stick, with a 1/4" x 20 thread screw under the cap. Other folks have done the tripod mount conversion to the tops of walking sticks. You could consider modifying the bottom end to split into a Y shape for more stability.

 

I'm not sure how big the market could be. How many places are there in the world where monopods are welcome but tripods prohibited?

 

As for "four stops more stability" it's a nice marketing phrase but I'm a skeptic at heart. If the claim survives independent reviews by folks who test photo gear, great, good for you.

 

Have fun and good luck,
