Just done a quick search and no-one seems to have mentioned it, so, I will!
Stickpic screws into your camera tripod screw mount and then slots on the end of your walking pole.
"Why would I want to do that?", I hear you ask. Well, they allow you to do excellent shots of yourself or your group when there's no-one out there to take one for you. If you have a Flip Video unit or your camera has a video setting, you can also do some really effective video shots - kind of like a 'handicam'.
My only gripes: they're not cheap for what they are, and you'd struggle to hold a DSLR or bigger camera steady on it.

What I will say is that you get a quick and effective service, they'll send you a bag of sweets and a CD-ROM full of Outdoors Station podcasts, and they phone you up to make sure you're happy with everything. I've never had such consistently good customer service!
