I was literally JUST looking at this cane today on Amazon and Was going to do some more research tonight. When I fired up RU-vid Sam’s video was at the top of my feed. How crazy. Lol
If I can get that in a rollerball tip I’d get it for the wrist strain reduction. I can’t hold my cane straight out in front of me because I got sick of almost puking every time I got jabbed. Oh I’ll add I haven’t seen them in the uk yet.
I think this cane is an excellent solution to many problems - wrist arthritis being one! I hope the maker is successful beyond his wildest dreams and can get into the CNIB. I did my research quickly while I paused your video and checked out links and this product is not available to be shipped to Canada. I am only 5"2" on my tallest days so I hope the free cane goes to someone who can put it through it's paces and then some. I love your videos and have taken the advice given with me when updating my technology recently. Thank you ever so much for your honesty and helping us wind our way through our visually impaired lives. Glenda
Cool product and well reviewed. Maybe a hydraulic shock system for the upgrade with LED identification light that comes on in low light and RFID / Bluetooth to find it from your smartphone if yo lose it.
60" is great! I use a 65" but have been choking up abit. Ive had 2 cancer surgeries on my wrist and i drop mine often. I do now have a Guide dog but there are times i need a cane. Great development in cane tech, definitely looking into this. Great video, thanks for doing what you do! Keep it going.
The color of the handle looks great, especially if you have enough vision to locate bright colors. Now, if you can use the cane in combination with a pogo-stick, that'd seal the deal.
@@teresahopemiller1008 I am a tall guy, when using the white cane I only use a 60". Longer canes are not practical due to my reach (you can imagine) so I hold my cane lower. Also bumping my head into everything is a problem.
This is pretty cool, and it seems like a nice, light, high quality cane even without the compression handle and especially with the great feature of Ambutech tip compatibility, but to be honest, unless you have a wrist condition or the walking paths where you live are super crap, you really shouldn't be having such a common problem with getting jabbed. If your getting hit that much, then IMHO you need to learn a better cane technique or get a lighter/more flexible cane (such as the ones the NFB sells) that will bounce over things more than ramming them. Basically, for most people, I think this cane is just a band-aid solution to a bigger problem, but that said, I also know how fragmented training techniques can be, and good O&M teachers can be hard to find. And Personally I haven't jabbed my self in so long that I can't even remember the last time it happened, and I walk around a fair amount, at good speed, in a city with quite a few obstacles, but when I was a kid it happened more often. Still, I don't do much true offroading, most of the sidewalks near me aren't terrible, I have no wrist problems, and I'm not a senior. When I had a heavier, less flexible ambutech cane it was a bit more common, but even when I did go hiking, I always made sure to keep my cane out in front and not lean into the thing. I also have some concerns about the weatherproofing and overall longevity of a leather handle. It seems very comfortable, but it could ruin the entire cane if it starts to crack or rot. I would suggest that anyone who decides to buy this cane should research some basic leather care techniques and practice them regularly, especially in particularly hot/cold weather. If I were the one in charge of distribution for this, I'd make sure to include some tips for leather care with the product in braille and large print along with the rest of the instructions, which ideally should also be in braille/large print. I wonder about holster compatibility for those who like to have a backup cane or only need it at night? Maybe a holster that fits well with the cane will be offered in future. The R&D required to make this both tactile enough, and stable enough for every day use even with a leather wrap and floating handle design must have been pretty impressive though! And I'm very impressed with the competitive pricing, given the step up in quality and the size difference between this new startup and the more established players in the market!
That's a great cane - thanks a lot for showing it. I'm going to send a link to my colleagues (I'm an O&M instructor for Vision Loss Rehabilitation Nova Scotia/cnib and will send this link to all of my colleagues - even across Canada, but I'm not on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Also, I think that the cost would be prohibitive for most Canadians.
Wow amazing cane! I love the springy handle avoiding tummy jabs!! Im sharing this video on facebook and twitter to my visually impaired working age groups and id love to have one of these non jab canes to show my groups and have it in my sight loss charity to recommend it and and have one for myself of course! 😎
Looks great! That spring sounds like a pogo stick, lol! Hannah wants to do a white cane video pretty soon so this would be good to demonstrate along with the others!
HI SAM. WHOOO HOOOO!!! FINALLY, A SOLUTION TO THE HIT IN THE GUT WITH THE CANE!!! SO GLAD TO SEE THAT SOMEONE HAS COME OUT WITH A SOLUTION. HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MY FRIEND. TAKE CARE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK AHEAD
Awesome video! awesome cane! Such a simple solution and yet it's one of those that you think why didn't I think of that. I'm 5ft 4 but I was given a longer cane than normal because I walk quite quickly.
Oh man, that sounds like a fantastic upgrade! I am cane-dependent legally blind and currently use a 60 inch Ambutech. I would love one of these!!! Sharing to Facebook, Twitter and Insta!
Welldone to the creator of this product. I understand how it takes blood, sweat and tears to bring a product to market, especially as a VIP. Thanks for the demo Sam. (I’m too short and far away for entry to your competition:))
Well if I win this Kane I will make sure at my buddy Martin was well over 6 ft tall gets it in his hands. He just broke his Cane the other day. Also, I wanted to add that perhaps instead of a spring in the handle for probably the same amount of money or less they could have added an air shock system. It might have been a little bit tighter but would have done the job super quietly. Great video Sam and thank you for showing us this awesome Kane and thank you to the gentleman who created it. People like him it's making our lives much easier
Hi Vincent: Thank you for your comments on my cane, I appreciate your feedback. I fully understand your concern about the noise in the handle; however, when you are using the cane it is hardly noticeable due to the noise of tapping and skimming the ground. I use my cane everyday and I never even notice it. When I first started development of the shock absorbing system my first choice was to use the hydraulic or air shock system. However, after several months of trying all the different applications of this system I discovered that it was not practical. The initial pounds of pressure to start the collapse of the system was too harsh. I have found that the spring is the most effective way for it to work smoothly and operate at a comfortable level. I will keep trying and testing and strive to make the best cane that I can. Again, thank you for your feedback. Sincerely, John McAteer The NO-JAB Cane for the Blind
@@johnmcateer315 speak now I was not judging the Kane. I was just answering Sam's thoughts on the spring. I do not think the spring would have bothered me either. The Caine however seems to be an awesome awesome invention by you sir. I am definitely one of those individuals that constantly gets poked in the belly.so I thought this was a great idea. In fact, when I heard what you did to the Kane from Sam I almost let myself in the head saying why didn't I think of that. LOL John, just keep doing what you're doing keep changing the world for the better. Thank you so much for replying to my comment.
My regular route to our local shops and chemist has gaps in the pavement slabs especially where the slab has dropped a few centimetres. It completely throws you off balance. This cane is awesome and would reduce the risk of injury. Ma te wa from New Zealand
Thanks Sam for a really amazing demonstration. The NoJab cane seems really useful and much better than a regular white cane. It would be awesome to have one and try it on a daily basis. Regards from Serbia!
That sounds really cool, I wish they made a 65 inch cane though, I am 5‘11“ and I really like that extra room that the 65 inch Kane gives you. I currently own a 65 inch straight cane from the Bob Riley cane company and I really like it.
Sam, I appreciate this great gentleman and his work. But, if one is trained to hold the cane just slightly to the side of the body, one would never be jabbed by holding it directly in front of your belly. Holding the cane just slightly to the side of one's body (as you demonstrated in this very video), it would not interfere with any of the normal uses of the cane except holding it upright as one goes up and down stairs or traveling through tight spaces such as heavy crowds, which of course one would have to do even with the "No-Jab" cane. My personal feeling as a long-term obligate cane user, whenever outside my home, is that this is a non-sequitur. But, Sam. let me congratulate you on your continuing efforts to keep the Blind Community informed of new products, in addition to the great general service you provide both the Blind and Seeing World in the way of questions and answers. I especially enjoy your vids. with your daughter. They more than anything demonstrate how supportive family members can be to members of our Community and how important family acceptance is to our moral. You must be a great Dad. -Jack Crofoot, "Retinitis Pigmentosa Update."
I still have my cane 🦯 from many years ago I got at the lighthouse for the blind in broward county Fort Lauderdale Florida now I have had 2 guide dogs my first in 2007 my 2nd in 2015 from southeastern guide dogs in palmetto Florida.. I love my cane it’s old school like the one in this video and when my guide dog Rolf is at the groomers I take my cane with me to travel as he will be there for a time usually over an hour and so I can be independent in my travels with my cane thank you for sharing this video liked it very much
That cane is cool. My biggest complaint has always been the stomach jab. Noe that I am losing mission or more mission I need a cane more and more and this looks amazing.
This sounds really great! We have a lot of paving stones in Belgium, so jabs are the main problem with a white cane. I'm really interested to test one! (Fortunately, I go often to sport so I have some muscles to retain the blow.)
I got my no jab cane this week, i love it, i usually use a rollerball tip but have been fine with the marshmallow. I will nwver use a standard cane again
That cane is beautiful. As a (part) blind man myself, it would certainly be helpful to have that spring inside the handle to reduce getting jabbed. Would be a great replacement to my current blind cane.
Sounds Awsome!!!! Would love to have the can.Thank you for telling us about it.I believe everybody doesn't like being jabbed in the stomach this would solve that problemI posted to Facebook
Great to see new inocation in cane-ery, id love a new cane we use a majority of bevria cane here in australia and untill they start ebayi g them amazon isnt my first chouce of sales site, pretty big overseas though right.
Sam, as always, you bring new technologies to us. I appreciate that you put out such quality videos. Too bad I use a 55 inch cane because I’m under 5 foot two and find the longer canes are much better for travel. However, the stomach jab is a bit much to take and because of this, I have altered the way I use my cane. This will be a great addition to my growing stash of canes. Of course, I can’t get rid of my first love, which is the very first cane I received after mobility training. Thanks again and keep the videos coming.
Hi Sam! I love your videos. I ordered me a sunu band. And the guy on the phone asked me where I had heard of it. So I told him that I heard of it from the RU-vid channel the blind life. And he got the talking about how he had met you at a convention in Florida. So he gave me the blind life discount LOL I think the sooner band is a neat invention. I think that jab free came looks awesome too. Keep up the good work on the videos I have one of your t-shirts in my Amazon cart. Have a good day my friend.
Thanks to you & this video, I bought a no-jab cane & love it. However, the perfect cane for me would be a combination of several canes you reviewed: no-jab, we walk, & lighted tip cane. Maybe someday (?). With your connections, maybe sooner or later (?)
They cane seems to be pretty cool! I get tired of hitting myself in the guts LOL! When you head into a stump or a certain crack on the sidewalk you usually find living in the city here. There is a lot of bumps and cracks on the sidewalk I think dad definitely is a great cane to use
