you know it's going to be big money for that thing....for the same weight as a predator platform and not much more surface area...it's also going to feel very plastic-y....don't get me wrong I'm a huge tethrd fan...saddle and platform is all tethrd....I just know "carbon" sucks in these situations.Couple days to season opener and no Vader platform in sight. Smh. Hopefully theyre taking the time to make sure it right
If its not a good deal less weight I'm not gunna bother with it. Gunna stick with the beast stand till I get the fix inyou know it's going to be big money for that thing....for the same weight as a predator platform and not much more surface area...it's also going to feel very plastic-y....don't get me wrong I'm a huge tethrd fan...saddle and platform is all tethrd....I just know "carbon" sucks in these situations.
I think on mikes archery YouTube he said it was going to be 3lbs and bigger than the normal predator but not quite the size of the XL but it's still in the process of being made so I could eat my own words later when it comes out lol.If its not a good deal less weight I'm not gunna bother with it.

There should be two of them coming out. I have no interest in the bigger oneI think on mikes archery YouTube he said it was going to be 3lbs and bigger than the normal predator but not quite the size of the XL but it's still in the process of being made so I could eat my own words later when it comes out lol.

they are all solid if you cam them and set them right....maybe with the exception of the xop's lolThe fix is the most solid and stable platform on the market that I have tried. However, be forewarned it takes a little extra finagling and muscle to cam it properly than say the predator. But once it’s cammed it ain’t going anywhere.
The XOP Edge is reportedly extremely solid. Just it’s heavy.they are all solid if you cam them and set them right....maybe with the exception of the xop's lol
I have the edge it is very solid and heavy...I meant that one that has sand in the paint. coyote brown color....I haven't personally tested it I have just watched videos.The XOP Edge is reportedly extremely solid. Just it’s heavy.

Are u saying it’s always harder and needs more work? Or just to get it down in the beginning, like the first learning curve?The fix is the most solid and stable platform on the market that I have tried.

There is a pic of Ginger Ninja with it on his side on their FB post from last week so it definitely getting used. I talked to Ernie last Friday and he said they are looking like the middle of October when they are going to be released, they are in production and he said they are just building up inventory now.

It requires more force to cam over because of the design and method. That can be more of a challenge especially on the side of a tree. That makes it handle side pressure better than any other platform in my experience. I used to use a predator platform at times and there are trees that you just can't get a predator to cam into very well. Obviously on some trees there's not really a noticable difference.Are u saying it’s always harder and needs more work? Or just to get it down in the beginning, like the first learning curve?
I gotcha, I currently don’t have a platform and the fix is one id like to get. Would really like to try on first, sounds like a good option tho.Always…lol
I will actually get it about 80% cammed over then hop on it.

I've tried damn near all of them with exception of the RZR and some newer ones and I've never had a problem with any of them on side load....just have to tighten them down and cam them over nice. i saw a video of the xop slip on side load though...Michigan great outdoors review of it.Eh…. Not in my experience. Not all take side pressure well.
Had one and agree it’s very solid once you get it cammed correctly, but ultimately sold it because I got tired of having to fiddle with it in the dark on the side of a tree and not having it cam perfectly and then needing to get off to adjustI gotcha, I currently don’t have a platform and the fix is one id like to get.
