Thanks, the tubes are 20" long and they weigh 1.5lbs each ready to hunt. I did make them out of 1/16" wall tubes. I am on the lighter side, I did go ahead and put aluminum spacers in the tubes where the steps and standoffs attach.

Define lighter... I'm 175 without hunting gear

@DanO I received my standoffs today. These are legit! You hit a home run on these buddy. I'm very impressed.
I’m not a stick guy but these not only look sexy they may convert me to trying sticks and get rid of my WE steps
I have wild edge steps and I do use them but sticks are too easy and quick to use especially when you only use one.
That stick is a modified muddy pro. It has steps on it that I designed and Danos ultra light stand offs. Weighs about 2.5 lbs with rope and aider
First actual hunt with @DanO stick parts. They are so badass that Chuck Norris called and wants a set.

Did you say you used 1/16 size tubing? Have you noticed any flexing since you also drilled the holes in the tubes?
Nope. I did put some spacers inside the tube where the standoffs and steps attach. Also they are 20" long and I think that helps some.
Do DanO’s stand off’s put you off the tree more than the beast sticks? My issue with the beast sticks and I’m only a size 11.
Beleive they’ll put your step approx 4” off the tree. He’s got measurements over on his website. Doublesteps.com
I've never had beast sticks but they give you a lot of standoff from the tree. Probably nearly double that of a typical stick
Thanks gents, the beast sticks were noticeably less standoff than the helium’s for me. Awkwardly had to put my foot sideways , which I don’t feel was very safe given the sharpness of them. DanO’s stand off seem to be a good solution .... unforthnetly will own a very expensive stick .
Yes they put you out about 5” from the tree
