Look like the micro cleat on there, though it may just look small in comparison to the tube.
Why the camming action?
So you don't crank your shins/knees when one sticking.Why the camming action?

NO, once you climb up and step off the top after readjusting your tether, fold the top down to loosen the bite from the tree (will make releasing the stick lock a little easier too) as you don't have to reach over and under as much (as a static larger platform) to loosen the rope from the cam cleat. Move the stick up, reset slightly to your potential location, then swing back around to the front, again, less potentially obtrusive static platform sticking out and then reset and climb etc. Maybe I'm expecting too much from this from my first look at this product but I think there may be some potential there.The platform and standoff are 1 peice. Are you really going to try climbing with it folded up? That seems not so safe.
I haven't had a problem with my one stick setups not being tight enough to the tree. I don't see why it needs to cam over, but it's definitely a bit different and I'm sure some people will like it.
