large size stick mounted platform

[Robertsj22]

for us fellas that don't one stick do you think we will ever see a stick mounted platform thats at least the size of the predator. maybe the stick is unable to support something that big who knows.

Predator is 12x12. The U.P. that just launched is 13.5" wide by about 8". Monarch is similar I believe, and the trophyline wingman looks to be easily that width too. So width isn't that big of a problem but depth may be. I would think because stepping up from the bottom step of a stick you don't want too much overhang. Seems like every manufacturer has hit on the same max size so far.

i didn't think about the step up, you could be right. Im wondering if the up will fit on a shikar fxd

It’s for 1” tube atm and matched to the ewo stand-off geometry

With Klemz inspiring the latter LW/XOP Seat platforms...a folding to stick design was used.

The SloMo (shop rider) platform from a thread posted in today is a good example of what can be done:

Platforms - DIY

Where are you guys buying platforms for those of you who have built your own???

The thing is, we're most likely to see bigger platforms designed to no stick climb. Thats where its at IMO.

I’d like to try one sticking but not until a larger platform comes out. Even the EWO UP is too small for my liking.

The problem is that moving from the bottom step to the top becomes more difficult. Unless the bottom step is also slightly oversized, which helps offset the "gap".

I guess if your larger platform pivoted up out of the way while climbing up past it and then kick it down to stand on wouldn't be so bad. Fixed position means you are working off to the side of it as you climb.

A Lone Wolf seat added to the top of a Helium stick works. An extra strap for the platform adds to stability.

I like the size of that lone wolf and that it is movable.

Added 2 straps on my helium short with an artesian platform mounted backwards away from the tree. Just need to stitch up my aiders and figure out step distance.
