2019 Helium Mods

Well, actually tried one of my sticks on a tree yesterday hanging a trail cam high. Really like the stick, but as expected, hate the straps. I was fumbling with it at ground level since I just needed one for getting the camera to the height I wanted. No way I'm messing with that on the top of my second stick.

Anyone done the rope mod on the 2019 versions and if so, what diameter rope (not necessarily amsteel) works well with the new button?

7mm or 8mm accessory cord works fine

1/4" amsteel for straight rope mod, I've also made 1/4" daisy chain and a 7/64" daisy chain (doubled up).

Video is almost done. I modded the old version to work like the new version. I cut both down and they're great.

These are pics of the old version. I'll upload the 2019s soon.

Anxiously awaiting this helium stick mod video.
 
Question how come most company dont use a locking cleat system to hang the sticks? Is that like patent or something?
 
Has anyone modified the tree offset brackets to rotate like a lone wolf or muddy pro stick? Looks like you would have to grind the raised portion on the back of the stick and the backside of the brackets then add a washer.

11mm Bluewater Assault line. It was remarkably stable and easy to use.
 
Anyone know of some after marker suction cups i can put on my old heliums?

I tried some Beal 8mm dynamic rope and the sticks sagged like..... Well they sagged excessively.
The 11mm is stiff as he11, it has a rough surface for better grip and the knot is easy to untie. It weighs more than the strap and buckles however. It seems like I need three hands to handle the sticks and straps but the rope was easier.
