Loc On windwalker?

replace the original strap with a hook and cam strap like from an old ameristep strap on step, they work the best. I think versabuttons are sily on stands like this. I always use the strap to pack them up anyway so no need to remove it. I think gandr mountain has new straps like the amersteps ones as well.

I have one of these stands too, haven't used it for awhile but for some reason I think it says something like alumilite or similar on mine.

The api alumalite are similar, butni bive a rectangular platform if i remember correctly.
 
I’ve got a very similar Warren and Sweat hang on but mine is square. Still right at 7 lbs tho. Did an all day sit in it this fall and was very happy with it. The first thing I did was replace the strap that was on it for an ameristep strap tho.

Where did you run the strap through? The only issue I can see with using a strap like that is there isn't much keeping it from moving around vertically. Just thread it between the seat crossbar and the cables?

Versa buttons would keep the strap at the same position on the tubing. Maybe I'm missing something though.

Post a pic of under the seat on the front side. Is there a plate or spreader bar for the 2 uprights? On the ww I run the strap between the plate and uprights
 
Other than the small crossbar for the seat, there's not much there. Not sure I feel comfortable having that little thing holding all the weight.Screenshot_20201125-195617_Gallery.jpg

I'd just clove hitch an Ameristep strap on there with the hook side on the right. Clove hitchbon each upright with the buckle end leaving you the long section of the strap to go around the tree.
 
Different stand, and I left the hitches kind of loose so you could see the path...but you'll get the idea...

I attached the strap in the same place and in the same manner as the existing strap. It’s practically the same style strap, just brand new.
