Just got this today from Genesis for carrying the predator on the back of your saddle up the tree. I will say that it fits nice and snug on my PHantom saddle and it holds the predator nicely on my backside. To remove the platform you have to turn it up a little so it slides out. I like the design.


I also bought a clip to hold a stick when ascending the tree. If I end up 1 sticking this year I may use this clip on my saddle or pack to carry it it. It is also well thought out in my opinion. The versa button clips into it.

Still need some tree time with these to see how well they work, but so far I am impressed.

P.s. These aren't my pictures, but stock pictures from the website.

I have the versa hangers as well. They work great. My only complaint is that you can't keep your rope/strap on the button to clip in. So, I just wrap the rope around like I normally do and then when I go to clip in I just pop off the rope from the button. Still waiting on getting the predator clip, so I have no review on that yet, but the design looks great

Will the predator holder also hold the LWCG Ambush?

you say the versa holder won’t hold the stick with strap? Even with the really thin tethrd versastraps?

with the stick new stick holder work with LWCG minis and Shikars?

I don't see the point.
It's not something I would want for carrying it while walking. Would you carry the platform in a pack and then switch to the clip for the climb? My current carry method works fine for carrying AND climbing and I don't have to switch from the carry method to the climb method.
The Genesis thing just seems like an extra detail in the process of climbing.
I have a LW strap on my Predator and I just sling it over my shoulder. It doesn't require a pack to carry it and I can climb with it on my shoulder.
Simple.

I carry mine predator on my pack when I go in, but it is nice to have it in an easy to access place to reach it when you get up the tree. Currently I switch it to my saddle with a Nite ize. Having it on your butt puts it out of the way and it isn't flopping around where it could clang on a stick and make noise. The clip is alot easier to hook/unhook that a Nite ize. Like anything else we all have our preferences

Yeah it’s not meant for everyone, as everyone I think does it a little differently. I have just found most people prefer to hang their platform on the back side of there saddle, similarly to how the perch sits in the Yarak.

When I said I didn't get the point I was giving my perspective on what other method of carry and climb works best for me...not knocking the product. I always welcome innovation.
If it works well and helps others to hunt efficiently and climb safely, then I think it's another welcome addition to saddle gear.
Good luck with your product.

I added a spacer and washer to the top step to hang my stick from Aksisu11's Hanger. I also stack the second stick on the first.

@enkriss the Predator Hanger does not fit the Ambush. Here are some pics of the Versa Hangers with a few sticks and Versa Straps ...

SHIKARS fit with Versa Straps
LWCG fit with Versa Straps
DanO AlumiButton on Beast do not fit with Versa Straps

One difference between the Versa Hangers and the Stick Clip is how the stick rides. The Stick Clip will keep the stick out of the way of your arms but will ride low a long the side of your leg. The Versa Hanger will ride a little higher, which like better. That's the problem I had with hanging a stick with a loop, it would bang against my knee and swing everywhere as I'm climbing and adjusting. Also, think about what you are going to do with the strap on a Stick Clip. You can't wrap the strap horizontal around the stick and still clip it into the Stick Clip. You'll have to get creative with the strap. Genesis 3D Printing has options and that's what it's all about. Good job @Aksisu11.

@skyjacker thanks for the confirmation. I ordered a pair for Shikar sticks. They should be delivered today. If they work out like I think they will I will order a set for the LWCG sticks.

All their products are neat and fairly priced.

what I do is I use my front chest clips from my alps backpack to hold my predator for my climb. I like having it right there in front of me tigh to my chest. Easy on and easy off too.

Well I this the Shikar size one could work with the LWCG sticks. It seems to hold it. These might be The ticket for me hauling my stuff up the tree.

now to try to get them in the Phantom mollie loops... yikes these loops are tight!!!

Yeah. I have a Phantom and the Versa Hangers are a really really tight fit in the molle loops. @Aksisu11 you may look at shaving a few mm's off of the stem. Good thing is they don't move at all in a Phantom.

I like how they are. A pain to get on but they will never accidentally come off.

did you put them on the upper or lower row of mollie loops? I am leaning towards the bottom.
