XOP Edge platform weight

[ChromeKype]

Just received mine in the mail. I heard at first it was going to weigh 3.5 lbs, then I saw that it had an advertised weight of 4.5 lbs. heavy but manageable. Looked pretty good so I bought one.

Just weighed it-

5.58 lbs without strap

Over 6 lbs with strap.

Do all companies lie about their weights?

Most, but not all, companies lie about weight on sticks, stand and platforms.

Website now says 5.4lbs. It definitely said 4.5 when I ordered it last week.

That's impressive. Wonder how much lighter it'd be on a regular piece of tube vs that cast I beam crap

I think most companies will fudge a little...but I saw that platform listed a few months ago at 3.5lbs as well...but almost 6lbs...

Wow! I can see a few ounces,but a few pounds difference that is ridiculous. I was going to buy one,but haven't found any in stock. Not any more. No wonder he could drive a jeep on it. Must be some thick casting.

... just because it's heavier though, doesn't mean it still can't be a good platform for someone... Think of it as a heavy duty saddle platform...? All hang on tree stands aren't the same weight either...?

... I keep flip-flopping through sticks and climbing methods just to find something lighter and more portable but always seem to find myself coming back to a 1-in square tubing stick with double steps...

Actually that was one of the reasons I bought it. The platform is solid, but man it’s like adding another stick in terms of weight compared to other platforms.

I'm sure it will make a good stand for many regardless of weight. I really liked the design features and was willing to try it at a lb. More than my current platform.(4.5lbs).When anyone or any company lies to make a sale they immediately lose credibility with me.

Put it in some yoga pants and it will look like it weighs 3.5 lbs. Problem solved.
