Warbonnet Hiking Pole Tip Set

[kerryandjane]

Hey all.
I'm mid making bridge hammock and considering using my hiking poles as spreaders. I've searched the forums but I haven't found even a photo of these in action.

Has anyone got experience using the Warbonnets Hiking Pole Tip Set?
How do you install them for use?
One size fits all or is there a list of recommended poles to use? (Carbon Fiber vs 7075 Aluminum.)
Anyone know of a video by Brandon using these?
Are these only for the Ridge Runner (AKA WBRR) or will it work on any bridge hammock?

Bump on this one. Just got my new ridgeruunner and interested in how the pole tips attach.

Has anyone actually purchased the bars from the web site.

I've been off and on looking into this. Thought I'd share what I learnt.
Firstly There are alot of answers to this question. Initially I couldn't find a thing. I've had some sleep and gone up a google-fu belt. Sorry for the double post.

From the Official Ridgerunner Thread.

...one tip has a hole in the end for the carbide part of the pole, the other tip has a threaded hole to screw onto the camera mount...

...works with the camera mount style hiking poles, the ones where the handle screws off to expose a 1/4" threaded bolt. you want one that does not have a shock absorber or one that has the ability to lock out the shock absorbing feature. also needs to be a straight pole...

I also located a video from the AHE crew via youtube using the Mountainsmith Trekker FX.
