EWO UP question

[jsh909]

Can someone give me center to center measurement on the bolt holes.

I have a RDA crows nest and am trying to figure out if the have the same bolt pattern.

Thanks everyone

And anyone else for that matter.

I currently have EWO rotating standoffs on my stick. If I go to the UP and keep my current RDA lookout bottom step and EWO stand off, will that be ok? I seem to remember at one point people were suggesting not to use the regular standoff on the bottom with the UP, as the UP gripped to hard or something, but maybe I am mistaken.

I run a regular standoff with my up without issue.

Thank you sir, I remember, maybe incorrectly, people posting in the past that the UP bit hard enough that it was bending lower standoffs. Maybe that was a specific product though. I was only trying to verify. Not bash.

No bashing detected. We tend to be hard on equipment around these parts and brutal in our judgement and analysis. If something doesn’t pass muster we’ll call it out. DanO wouldn’t want to sell a product that was subpar.
Having said that I’m about 250 loaded and I’m hard on my stick. When I set it I jump on it to set it and I regularly toe off of one side with all my weight centralized on one spot. Haven’t bent or broke anything yet.

I believe you can’t purchase the UP on a stick with an ultralight lower stand off. These can bend.
If you are buying the UP, with plans to add to an existing stick it’s worthwhile to get the regular standoff or call EWO if you have a another make.
Also run both bolts for top of platform in it, I added mine to an existing stick originally , it was solid with one but if I really put pressure on an edge I could make a slight metal on metal sound.
It is a really solid platform and very versatile.

Awesome, thank you very much. I am getting an order together. I appreciate the responses.

Thank you, that's probably what I was remembering. I have the standard rotating standoffs. I appreciate your help.
