Okay… so I figured I would post this here.
I have tried several beast stands. Some did not make much noise, some popped and squeaked. I could not figure out why or what caused it.
Also, a problem I had was small diameter leaners the stand would not set properly.
Fast forward to March 2024…. I decided to try another. I noticed some updates…
No longer are they drilling weight reduction holes in the post. They also moved the beast offset bracket up about an inch to another hole.
That move actually substantially helped with camming. It completely cured the issue I was having with small diameter leaners. It sets perfect quickly and easily on any tree I try. I also, haven’t noticed any noise with this one.
Downfall to the bracket move though. If you use the beast rod the sticks will move back and forth because they are not butted up against the bracket.
Much improved camming…
