Artisan outdoors mini platform

[Anobody]

I posted this on another thread but thought it deserved a small review
Pros
-Took side pressure well for a stick attached platform
-Weighs just over a pound
-No extra stuff just my sticks
-Super easy company to talk to
-Costs 65$

Cons
-Wobbled a little. I think the holes are spaced good but the channel was a touch shallow. I used the other hole in the platform and added an additional bolt. Fixed it well enough
-Not really a con but my opinion this play firm should be angled. 40-60 degrees. Feel this would make the small platform more comfortable.

All in all for my small sits (2-4hrs) and going after light wieght setup this fits the bill. 4 modified lone wolfs with platform was 8 pounds.

Thanks for the review. How long did it take you to get yours? I ordered a few weeks back. Thanks!

I like mine a lot. I have Hawk Heliums. It’s as sturdy as the stick is. I find side pressure makes it easier to kick out the bottom of the stick but that’s not the platform’s fault. Using a Nite Ize Cam Jam around the bottom of the stick to help prevent kickouts.

Thanks for the review. I ordered one for a muddy pro. I believe he is sending a bunch of them out next week.

Got mine yesterday. Ordered 9/17. What size bolts are you guys using to attach the platform? The stock ones don't look long enough on my Helium sticks.

I think the bolt i got for mine is a Grade 8 5/16in x 2-3/4-inches.

I ended up at Lowe's yesterday and got a couple Grade 8 1/4"-20 hex bolts. They did the trick.

I ordered one as well. Sent it to my parents to pick up next summer when I'm home. Thanks for the review. I was looking for exactly what you listed in your "pros" for this platform. Glad I bought it.

I am considering adding this platform. Curious if anybody uses it with another platform in their setup. Example, set the other platform (ie predator) 90deg to the side so you get ~180deg of platform around the tree.

How well do the LW sticks stack with the platform on them?

How much does the platform weigh? Would it be a feasible set up for a quick hunt or deep hunt where I could drop my predator platform from my pack and just add the platform to the stick?

They're around 1.25lb. Mine is bolted on. Have to take the top steps off of your sticks. You could use it in addition to your Predator platform.
