I love how lite this is and simple to assemble how ever I did not use quick pins I used a nutc and bolt I didn't care for the rattling noise worth the pins. But other than that it's well made and very strong I'm 300lbs and it holds my weight with ez

It works as it should but makes some noise when adjusting footing

Great addition to my Hawk Helium. I use this to one stick.

You’re probably better off just getting a proper platform.The comments from the other reviews are all spot on:- Poor quality control- Go ahead and get bolts- Drill in for the second holes- Put grip tape on the top- Use some expanding foam in the tubes to avoid ringing a bell in the woods.It is impractically small. Turning around with this thing or adjusting your tether height is an art form best left to ballerinas If you can weld, you can build a better version. Maybe even if you could just borrow a welder… doesn’t seem like the folks building these have a lot more experience than that.It worked for this season when I wasn’t sure if saddle hunting would be the solution I was looking for. I’ll get a predator platform next season.

It does what it's supposed to. It wobbles a bit but not a deal breaker. If you replace the pins with nuts and bolts it will take the wobble out. It's a $40 platform that you mount to a $40 stick, so $80 and you have a decent setup. Running mine on a 30" helium. I'm not sure if I want to cut it down for 1 stick or add 3 others and go that route. I'm 5'9 230lbs with a 10 boot size and it feels comfortable to me. I'm not sure how some of these idiots arent reading the description on what you actually are buying but my 2 cents says it's worth it.

I think this platform was intended to be easy to add or remove in the field with pins, however, the holes don't line up right, so I was only able to push one pin all the way through at a time by hand. I had to get a hammer involved to get them both in at the same time, and now they are more-or-less in there permanently, and I have to figure out how to pack it up with my bow without banging up my bow.

Seems like a decent platform for the price. One star rating comes from being sold what appears to be a used platform not a new one. Received the box covered in tape, upon opening it found the platform dirty and dusty, with some light scratches and missing paint in a few spots. I also found a pine needle inside the tube of the platform. The platform did not come with the quick attach pins either. I am not overly concerned with the listed cosmetic issues as I know I will beat it up in the fall, however it is unsettling to be sold a used platform as new.

Replace the stock push in pins with the same size bolts, and do not use the pins, and also drill 2 more holes and add 2 more bolts, and it's sturdy as heck. Solid as a rock! Also add 3M stair grip tape on top and it's a perfect platform for the Helium's. You can't beat it. Beats standing on the top step while setting up. It still allows you to stack the sticks if you open the top steps of the next stick. Light weight and doesn't move at all with my 4 bolt and stair grip tape install method.
