Alright guys and gals, I got my predator in yesterday after over a month of waiting and it felt like I was a kid on Christmas morning! I got to try it out with the stock strap, and then also used one of my Amsteel/Dyneema daisy chains off one of my sticks. I found that both methods didn’t result in the platform being 100% cammed to the tree.
The top teeth were slightly off the tree once I stood on it, and when I applied enough side pressure, the side I was on dipped significantly enough that I about slipped off (I was at ground level testing this out).
When camming with either method, I made sure to push down on the beam as hard as I could first, and then camming the platform down while applying heavy downward pressure.
What am I doing wrong? Or is this just what I should expect out of the $180 platform? Thanks in advance!
