Let me start by saying, I am 6' and 225 lbs so I am not a little guy AND I am traditionally a Saddle guy so I am used to a stand being completely solid and no sway at all.
I have 2 of these. The first one is on a tree that is wider than the other. The smaller of the two trees was difficult together it really solid. I think the Teeth could be sharper which would help it lock on better.
Also, because it's aluminum it feels a little less sturdy because I am used to steel. All said, I've been up in it multiple times and once you are set up, it feels fine.
The trade off is that it's very light and easy to get up the tree and hang due to it's minimal weight.
All in all it's a solid stand.
Installing took some maneuvering but one installed it’s great
I like this setup very good. I bought the footrest option also and it is a very comfortable setup! The mesh seat is way more comfortable than the standard novix/lone wolf style!! I love it will buy another!
Thanks for your review, Chris! We're here when you're ready for another!
Excellent quality and is as advertised in funtionality!!
Thanks for your review, Stevan!
The stand is great, very comfortable and easy to put up, I do wish it came with backpack straps like the other novix hang ons
