The cane I use the most is an Ambutech slimline graphite cane, folding with 6 sections, and the tip I use most often is a rolling marshmallow.

I have two Ambutech folding canes, one aluminum and the other is a graphite slimline.

The aluminum cane is thicker and feels more sturdy. It's the cane I use most often. It has six sections and a big rolling ball tip.

The graphite cane is for indoor use only. It's three inches longer than the aluminum cane but it has seven sections so it actually folds into a smaller length. It's only about half as heavy, too. I use it mostly in airports. I thought I'd use it more when I bought it but it's not good outside. The smaller marshmallow tip gets itself stuck in places the larger roller ball tip just rolls over. Even though it's my indoor cane I still have to navigate the parking lot to get inside to wherever I'm going so I usually just take my aluminum cane everywhere.

I've never had a problem with either one.

I put a thicker handle on the graphite cane because the handle that the factory sent just felt too thin. Other than peeling off the Ambutech sticker that's the only modification I've made.

Both of my canes are fully extended behind my bedroom door. I never fold them up unless it's necessary to fit them in an airplane's overhead compartment. If I'm in a car I only fold it once near the center. I don't want the elastic rubbing against the sharp ends of each section any more than necessary.

I'm a part-time cane user and I have recently flip-flopped on this.

I have a 6-section Ambutech mobility cane that's solid and nice and feels good to use, but I often just don't bring it with me. Even though it's pretty compact for a cane, it's still a bit bulky. So if I think I won't need it, I don't bring it, but that means I sometimes end up in situations where I do need it and it's on a shelf at home.

So lately I've been experimenting with the slimline cane again. Initially, I had written it off as too flimsy, but this time I have a much lighter weight tip on it (15g ceramic tip instead of 40g rolling marshmallow) and that's made a big difference. I'm also dealing with some ulnar tunnel syndrome right now, and the lighter cane is easier to use.

If I were a full-time cane user, I'd absolutely want to use the mobility cane, but for my part-time use with an already sore wrist, right now I'm enjoying the slimline.

I have a good collection of canes. Honestly. I keep the spare ones like 10 of them or more in a corner of my room, I was joking with someone in here I literally had a cane corner. Hahaha! Don’t know what else to call it haha!

All of my canes are mobility canes. I actually need them to walk around, I am totally blind, since I was 8 years old, been blind about 20 years now, and honestly I am kind of rough on my canes. I prefer lighter canes but have one heavier grafite one which I honestly do not use that much.


I’ve experimented with brands and tips before.
The one I favor at the moment is either the iowa/commander tech or the dcane, both of them are rigid nonfolding canes that are made of carbon fiber. Both of them can use the chris park nfb tip.

I have a rolling ball tip.I have n ambutech cane I use.
