Don't look over here, the irony isn't lost on me. I have never bought one of those big ole clunky platforms. It defeats one of my top reasons for saddle hunting. I do think this is a great deal and would consider getting one for friends or my wife to sit in for hunts. I think the big platforms were a likely progression to aid the new saddlehunters that would be more anxious standing on small platforms like a scout or ROS into the saddlehunting craze.When platforms are the size of treestands but its nice to have a seat too…. Oh wait… we are back to hunting out of a treestand… hmmm

I sold it for a loss to @zurr4013 then proceeded to buy a mission & then rebuy another ambush only to sell it & try an edp. Platforms are overrated I wish I hadn’t spent so much to come to that conclusion…….Sooooo… how many guys on this forum owned that assassin?….:tearso

OG 8.5# Assault still prevails. The price point is amazing for guys wanting a saddle/stand setup or people just starting out. I believe they’ll do very well in the mobile hang on niche.

Well, it definitely wasn't Jeff Daniels carrying the stand: 1:09
What's the slot on the right for?

Yeah the Echo has it on the back edge also.They supposedly have accessories that attach to the platforms but I think they have been saying that since the 2019 ata.

So who all bought one? Whoever did should definitely make a video on it when it comes in.
Do you think it's enough difference from the vanish? Isn't it only like a pound lighter?I ordered one. The platform size was dead on what I want. Not to worried about weight these days. I had a xop vanish before and said I would never buy a stand with a small v on back of stand. This seems to have the larger v and hits my 2 personal preferences. Plus with the discount, it's in a great price range. Let's hope it's everything the specs say.

This is me. I was really hopeful something in the 8 lb range was possible. Splitting hairs a bit I guess, but, small dreams are still dreams, and like bigger ones they don't always work out.I bought one. Might as well. I’ve said if they came out with one in these specs and weight 8-8.5#, I’d jump on it. They didn’t get the weight, but not bad either.
If I already had an Assault, I wouldn’t sell it just to buy the Helo. Not enough difference for me.
