This definitely isn't sounding good. However, it's a wait and see for myself at this point
I have not got mine yet. Maybe it is shipping with the mantis
Well said Ernie.Wow you guys really had some time on your hands this evening.
Let me start by saying nobody is less pleased with the failures we've seen than we are. Its driving me bonkers and I'm working on fixing it.
That being said, we always said we stand by whatever we send out and we mean it. If you break a predator platform, we'll replace it. Today tomorrow, five years from now. We'll replace it.
On the plus side, the failures we've seen aren't really dangerous. The pivot bolt and the main casting structure remain intact. If both teeth sections broke off, you would basically be left with an xop seat which we have all been using for a couple of years.
Look, we want you to use this stuff and beat it up. We want your feed back and ultimately we want saddle hunting to prosper. The best way for that to happen is for everyone to be involved. Everything we have developed was based on input from you guys and I totally expect to continue with the help and input of all Saddlehunters.
Let us know what you like and what you don't. We can take it. And we can use info that to continue to improve and ultimately get more people involved in the joy of saddle hunting.

That is what I like about this site... We are all entitled to our opinion and thanks for giving yours.
The more info we can bring to the table, the more we can improve saddle hunting for everyone

Yup. But opinions seasoned with grace We are all wrong sometimes.

A bridge will make it easier to pivot and rotate your hips, as opposed to the single point tether at your belay loop. Other than that(and comfort!) should be a great way to practice and get the kinks out.I just got my platform literally 10mins ago. I really think I am going to like it. I had no issues camming it over and it is rock solid even with side pressure. I definitely think it needs a coating of something to quiet it down a bit while transporting and hanging but other than that I have 0 complaints thus far. I don't have a saddle yet, but do have a Black Diamond rock climbing harness. Other than the comfort of the harness will it have pretty much the same feel of a saddle as far as maneuvering around the tree for a shot?

I honestly didn't put much pressure at all on it. I just made sure the strap was tight with it folded up, then pressed down with one had. I thought I would have to apply much more pressure to get it tight.....Legit question guys not something to argue. I've seen push it down with one hand,cam it over with your hands,no toe hooking, the question is how much pressure are you allowed to apply. I mean it's not just a question of common sense only, but wouldn't an individuals strength come into play here also? For example your wife hands you a jar she can't come close to opening and you open it with 2 fingers.

Someone said that the instructions stated no more than 50lb pressure when camming over.
I don’t know how to accurately judge the pressure. I’ll have to hope that my “stop before breaking” gut feeling is less than 50lb.
