Glad I added them, yes. Absolutely. Gives the platform a roomer feeling. Place to rest my feet, which shifts the pressure points when sitting for longer periods of time. Gives a much larger load shel when packing gear on top of the seat. Only drawbacks are more steps (sequencing of operations) needed to deploy and pack up the stand and the foot rests can occasionally get in the way when trying to strap the stand into the tree in the upright position (before cam locking it down, the steps hit the tree and you can’t get it as tight as you normally would). Added them to both the 0.5 and 0.75. A good addition.
Do you happen to know the weight the foot rest add? Assuming they are Novix footrest?
Maybe a couple of ounces; foot rests are aluminum, lightweight, and not rigid or thick enough to add any significant amount of weight. No drilling required. 1/4" bolts, same as what is on the stand already. For one of the stands I bought longer bolts, the other one was "plug and play".
Do you have pics?
So you pull all 4 at ground level & hang 2 on the bottom of the stand to climb?Not the best, but here are some of the set up.
I just ordered another hanger to go on the other side, in case there was ever a situation that I needed to hang them off my right.
I have the mule clip at the top and a titan strap zip tied to the post to strap the bottom portion of the stick, but that’s not needed.

Explain it to us man! I think I see most of it but I wanna hear.
.5 with a Kifaru E & E (saddle, binos, light, misc). A couple of Web Talons holding the two ONE sticks with 3-step aiders. Large Kifaru pouch with rappel rope, madrock, etc. Trekking pole for advancing tether up the tree (no slack climbing, thanks @Fl Canopy Stalker). Not sure about the hybrid setup after this much time in the saddle, but once it cools down some I’ll get in a palm tree and try it some!
