I’m new here and still getting used to Helium’s always being favored. I suppose if you are running a saddle your weight is pretty light to begin with, and with single stick method that’s even more the case. When I was also carrying an M7 stand and sometimes a camera arm, give me the LWs over the Helium’s any day. Significantly lighter, and I think they handle better. I just added a double step here and there. I have Helium’s and never reach for them first, but don’t mind single steps.
