ooal scout or AOF mini platform

I have not tried the aof platform, but i did receive my angled scout for the sticktop in the mail today. I sat in it for about 3 hours and it was so comfortable. The angle was perfect for leaning and still having my feet flat and comfortable.
It's so light for what it is. Pic is staged for picture sake, im not climbing this tree

I’ve been considering adding this to my EWO stick too. How is climbing with it? (Assuming you are 1 stick climbing). Also how does it handle side pressure? Any danger or feeling like the stick is gonna kick out or anything like that?

You could do both. Couple of threads on here with pics of that.
The angled platform is 3½ wide and angled at a 30* down, so it isnt really large enough or intrusive enough to be in the way while single sticking. As far as side pressure goes I think that really depends more on your stick than the platform. With the ewo standoffs I don't really have an issue with kick-outs but I'm also very careful in how I place my weight. I will put for example my left foot on the side of the tree and my right foot in the middle of the platform if I need to go around the tree. The closer you step to the edge the more likely a kick out will be. It's not a problem with the platform it's a problem with the stick
You could also add a straight step on the backside of the scout, and use the second hole drilled on the scout for mounting your standoffs and have a little wider area on top if you wanted to as well.
Cool thanks for the feedback. That’s kinda what I was imagining the case would be with that kind of setup.
