Locking this thread until I have time to figure out what to do with it.
Take the time to cool off guys.

Each of the loops on the strap could be girth hitched as well to keep from pulling off the ends...decreases strength a little, but wouldnt be worried about it in that application...I think if he wrapped the expanded metal over the edge a little and weld it there that would help with getting traction. I would also consider using a larger washer or stop where the strap loops onto the platform. That or see a video of it strapped around a larger tree and see if the straps look like they may pull off. It’s definitely more stable than it looks like it would be based on the video. It’s at least as stable as my hand climber if not more so. Can’t wait to hear some feedback once some get out there.
Guys come on. We didn’t make it two hours since Scott posted this. Basically if it isn’t about the out on a limb platform you’re just peeing into the wind.Alright I tried to clean this up to keep this discussion on track. I want to remind everyone that personal attacks will not be tolerated on this site. From this point forward please keep the discussion on the topic of this thread, the new saddle hunting platform by out on a limb. Anything straying too far from that will be deleted by a moderator.
I guess you could run them across the front and hook on opposite sides also. Either way would work.Each of the loops on the strap could be girth hitched as well to keep from pulling off the ends...decreases strength a little, but wouldnt be worried about it in that application...
thats a good idea too.I guess you could run them across the front and hook on opposite sides also. Either way would work.

Thanks for the report. And I eat bacon every single day!I emailed the gentleman and he sounds like a stand-up, professional businessman.
I, by the way, am not affiliate with any company in the sporting goods industry; just a simple farm-boy raising a few pigs, so please eat lots of bacon!!
In our email discussions I have been told the inside of the mounting bracket (4" alum. channel) is about 3.5", which is able to accept 2 stock LW sticks nested together "one on top of the next" or 3 nested "side by side" (with 1/4 inch on both sides). I suppose a pool noodle or small wood shim would hold them apart to lessen metal to metal contact.
I also stated that a way to use molly attachment to cinch to a backpack or add carrying straps might be good.
Eat more bacon; if you want, I guess!

Check out their Facebook page, a few different videos.
Just stumbled into this on YouTube.
Wish I could see an install on a tree. Does it cam over like other platforms?

This design has been changed already, I think you can see the new design on post 86. It is wider and shaped differently. Like Vtbow said facebook or instagram has 2 short videos showing the new one and how to attaches to tree.

I do not see where you can order just the camera arm base? It only shows ordering the entire arm on their page. I also have muddy arm, but that base is sooo cumbersome I would like to consider an alterative. ThanksThat's another pro for the channel vs an I beam. I bought their camera base for my muddy filming arm that uses the same channel and it nests perfectly. View attachment 9325
I had to call and order it separately. Yes, I hated my muddy base, half the time I couldn't get it level and it ate up my whole backpack. Was looking at the fourth arrow forever and just never went through with it. Now that I found this I'm glad I didn't.I do not see where you can order just the camera arm base?
