Steady staff

A telescopic staff apparatus comprising:

• a telescopic body including a plurality of tubular sections, each tubular section being dimensioned to slide at least partially within an adjacent tubular section, wherein the telescopic body is adjustable between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration, wherein the retracted configuration has a length of 25 inches, and in the extended configuration has a length of 75 inches;
• a plurality of locking clamp mechanisms, each locking clamp mechanism being configured to releasably secure a pair of adjacent tubular sections at a selected telescopic length;
• a cross-piece assembly positioned at an upper portion of the telescopic body, the cross-piece assembly comprising an interior rigid tubing support member constructed from aluminum having an outer diameter of ¾ inches, the interior rigid tubing support member encased in a cushioning material of foam rubber having a thickness of ¼ inches, wherein the cross-piece has a lateral dimension of approximately 5.5 inches, such that it extends transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the telescopic body, and wherein the cushioning material is configured to reduce vibrations and provide a resting surface for an accessory device, and
• a tip disposed at a lower end portion of the telescopic body, wherein the tip comprises a rubber material having a traction-enhancing surface to promote stability on varying terrains.
