I'm not much for carrying needless wt but I really like pics of all my game so this thing has been perfect. I know, it's chinese cheap but it has been flawless. The remote works great. Wraps around tree limbs also. How can they even ship it here for $14 ?

That’s way too much.

I almost pre-ordered one when that 20% off discount code was available. Don’t know if it would have been applied, but $800 seems about right.

I didn’t though, primarily because my own climbing platform is slightly lighter than the Crossover is spec and I wanted to see the real world weight of it before making any decisions.

When I hear it’s way too much, it makes me think about modern rifles and glass. Many hunters never really experience the performance benefits of thousand and multi thousand dollar gear, and sometimes those benefits are more perceived to begin with.

In this case some of the attributes of the product will definitely outperform others, to what degree it is value added for the expense is really more about the individual than the price tag.

With hang-ons and frame packs pushing $700, it doesn’t seem way to much to me, especially if purchased at a discount.

If I was starting from scratch and building a complete climbing kit from the ground up - I might consider spending that much - but it’s still a lot for a single component (and one that only works well in certain types of trees.) if I had an extra $1000 there’s better uses for my money. I’ve already got more than enough safe ways to get up a tree.
