Anyone use these ? Have you added aiders? How high can you get with 3 of them?

I have four with a 20 inch cable aider from DanO on each and i think each step gets me about 5‐6 feet depending what clothes I have on. (The step gets me 3 feet and I can get 2 - 2.5 feet between each step). Highly recommend the cable aiders. Super easy on the descent compared to other options.
 
You can get more out of your first step too depending on if you wait to put your linesmans on until your on the step. Depends on your own comfort level with that though. Not necessarily recommending it.
 
They stack really well. Once you lock them together there is no slip or anything. I have an XOP stand that I put the quick connect brackets on and that'll be an awesome pack setup. For my saddle setup I just attach them to my pack via night ize ties. I can post pictures later to show you how I attach to the pack.
 
I got a set of the mini stack of 4 in the classifieds, thought about cable aider but I just like long sticks they stack really well 130$ obo
 
Very happy with mine. Granted the XOP sticks in general work the best for me with the stand off, step length, and weight rating of them. I'm using a DIY movable aider made out of tubular webbing.

I bought the 4 pack. With the trees I have in my yard I can only get 3 sticks high without the aider or 2 sticks with the aider. 18' should be very doable with 4 sticks and aider. If I find a spot I need more I'll just take the full legnths or a combo of both.

I’m not sure either looks like they are heavier than the Novix mini’s by the specs but Ilit looks like they are a lot more packable and stackable
