I pimped my NFB Cane, by adding a Ambutech slip on red roller and Duck brand red reflective tape. (self.Blind)
submitted by Mamamagpie
I used standard duct taped to make the end of the cane thicker so that the ball mostly stays on via friction.
I wrapped the cane in reflective tape. Then covered where the ball and cane connect to prevent the ball from coming off.

Why not just get a flashy cane from Ambitech?

I have one, this lighter and good for when I’m don’t need to fold it. Besides it was free.

Valid points lol, the 6 section Ambitech graphite ones are lighter fyi, but yeah free is best reason.

My folding is 4 segment graphite Ambutech. But nothing is as light a the NFB. I took it on 5 mile walk today.

When did that change? My nfb cane can blow in the wind and I’ve never seen the graphite folding cane do that.
DHamlinMusic 3 points 1y ago
It is still heavier than the nfb cane probably, just is much lighter than the 4-5 section Ambitech ones.
Mamamagpie [OP] 2 points 1y ago
I think the heavier canes are more wind resistant.

It’s pretty! If I get bored I might look for good and do it to mine

Haha! Interesting usually I don’t do that much to my canes.

That looks great! I've been doing something similar for my SO's canes, I made an instructional video if you're interested https://youtu.be/vS4KYuojIDM
