I have used one at our saddle Flaooza. While Geofish is correct that the fix is one of if not the very best platforms available and for only $75 more lol
I can say that the XOP invader comes in at the advertised weight (without the strap) and so do their new x2 sticks. To get it to set properly you cam it the same way you do the Fix as well because the large post creates a situation similar to the offset bracket used by lonewolf. The biggest issue I had with the invader is that it flexes as badly as the original predator platform, and because of the post length it doesn’t pack down as well.
Otherwise for the weight and money it’s a good all around option.

There is a bit of platform behind that post… As long as you use the bend point at the center of the invader (the spot that is made for using to kick off), it didnt kick out at least it wasn’t doing so for me. If you try to push against the back of the platform it definitely kicks out pretty easily…. Add a squirrel step or two and walk the back of the tree and it’s a non issue either way. But it is hard to beat the fix. Only platform I’ve seen bite down as well is the Onyx and it’s a bit heavier and don’t fold nearly as flat
