If you made a versa button for the right and left side of the base, instead of the center one you'd probable be able to drag it up a tree and kind of cam it down, similar to a podium from OOAL. That would get the base nice and secure and you could potentials just use a cam buckle strap so set the platform into the base.
True. Then a post, similar to what is actually on the podium would work better than the centered versa button.I didn't think that versabuttons were made to only have force on 1 side which is what you would have with 2. With only 1 versabutton, the force pulled to each side pretty well cancels each other out.
I’m liking that idea. It would also have more side structure. Right now it has 1” from gap to back. Your idea would give 2 3/4” from slot to back.I would just use the two holes in your plate to ratchet to tree. No need for versabutton. Also, you could have slotted the plate to slide into the base and not need to weld the tabs in. It would be real simple and no way for it to slide around. All you would need is a saw to make that happen.
Pre sets would be easy. One plate and a bunch of bases. At 6lbs it’s a lot better than the 40 I carry now. I’m sick of being a bull in a china shop!I can see this idea working on pre sets. Way to think out side the box!
