Arsenal Platform

It’s unclear to me whether the supports make it flat on top or angled down. I see that they neck down but I can’t tell which direction. I haven’t looked at it super closely. Anyone know?

The platform is angled at the edges. And it has a turn bolt of sorts( like the predator) to adjust the angle of the platform. Its not alot of angle adjustment and I built a new device for greater adjustment them that was too late to include but may be incorporated in a future Gen.

Look here, this new company actually got things ready to physically sell before doing all the hype, it'll be the same with the carbon ones, hopefully. I've already made so many teaser posts about them, that I want to wait until they are being produced and all the manufacturing kinks have been worked out before hyping them.

BTW, I had nothing to do with the design of these aluminum platforms and sticks, they are pretty awesome though and the ideas and level of quality are what persuaded me to join with them to make my carbon platforms.

Since it’s finally official how about you go get your vendor badge and meet us at the vendor section and spill the rest of the juicy details about these carbon fiber platform and sticks instead of just giving us teasers haha
 
The launch15 code is 15% off. The rzr is $245.65 with discount shipped. $289 regular, $319 for the magnum before discount.

Looks like it's actually machined! Sweet!! No waterjet doesn't count in my book.
 
This platform looks awesome, but after looking at more photos on their website, I’m unsure how I feel about the post and platform bolting together with 4 bolts. I think I like one bolt running through the platform/post? Maybe it’s not as big of a deal as I’m making it sound, but…
 
Im sorry. But I'm nicknaming this the Spider Web.

There's still some upside to the Fix, imo.

12" Deep (vs 10.75" / 11.25")
Completely Matte finish (vs satin anodized)
More rigid
Better traction design
Leveling (vs leveling?)
Toothy bracket
Stick mating ports
Established company

For the Arsenal:

Rope cleat
Fold flat bracket (transport)
Fewer ounces
7075 aluminum

I think it’s the rope cleat mod that really interests me. I agree some of the features on the Fix are better. Curious if anyone has used a rope mod with the Fix? Wasn’t sure if the way of camming the Fix affected the viability

Oh, I forgot to mention....you guys will be buying some cool carbon platforms and one sticks from these same guys in the not too distant future... just saying....

Will any of these platforms be, say 14" deep? 13"?

I don't personally see much value in short depth offerings. If I can't easily turn around on a platform, it offers only slight upside to a ROS.

I like some of what I'm seeing with Arsenal; so, maybe it's just my size 13s (14boots) that make me wish for still another design.

It depends if you know the tensile strength of each bolt? :) is a welded 'L' bracket stronger? A cast L bracket has been strong enough....
To machine it out of a plate thick enough to encorporate the lip would raise the price significantly if not double!

Yes, if my physical prototype is matched exactly it should be at the very least 13.5" deep but hopefully 15".

Dude! Where do you people come from size 13 and 14 shoes and boots?! Holy moly!!! I’m a shrimp so there’s that!!!
 
I have size 13 boots, and many Americans are large so I built it to make it comfortable to rotate on freely. The only constraint I think would be cost of production in amount of carbon material.
