I'm guessing you are having a problem extending the flicklock upon first receiving the poles, as I did. My poles seem to have been forcefully collapsed and I needed to use extreme force to extend the section the fliplock controls.

Pinch the button on the lower adjustment and pull the lower shaft out. It has two positions - collapsed and fulled extended. It is fully extended when you hear the "click". The top (black Flicklock mechanism) is where the adjustment to your height is made. The Flicklock works like a bicycle seatpost - use your thumb to open with the pole in your hand. An adjustment screw is there to adjust the tension if you need it. The Flicklock should be factory tightened.
