Came on time and packaged well. Happy with the climber. Instructions could be illustrated better.

Received stand and after looking at it seems very good and usable. Quite simple to operate however this is quite heavy to take on all day hunts in back country along with other gear.

This is now my second hunting season with this climber and it's still holding up just as well as the first time I used it. The seat doesn't look like much but trust me, it's the most comfortable one on a climber I've ever sat in. It's also the most quiet stand I've ever used. Came with a pretty decent safety harness as well. The only knock against it would be it's weight and the thin shoulder straps. I love the sturdiness the steel construction provides, but if you're packing this thing more than a few hundred yards your shoulders will definitely start to feel it.
Pros:
Ease of use
Sturdy/very stable in the tree
Quiet
Comfortable seat
Durability
Multi position shooting rail or foot rest
Comes with safety harness

Cons:
Weight
Thin shoulder straps

Pretty good.

One thing I wish I had thought about, that likely would have steered me away from this: it weighs 38 pounds. If there is one that is smaller and lighter for a comparable price, I would give up the large foot platform for a more packable/lighter stand. I'm hunting on about 70 acres, and so it works great for that as there is nothing that is a very far walk from any parking spot. But if I had a half mile or more walk, I would want something much smaller and lighter.

Would be nicer if it jingled less while packing it. Also, I would highly suggest rubber coating some things, to cut down noise.

It is much easier to put up on smaller trees (12" diameter) versus larger trees (~18-20")

Great stand and great value. Several 12+ hour sits in my stand and I have zero complaints with comfort. While in the tree it makes zero noise and carrying it in is very quiet as well. I was skeptical with the mesh seating but it's great. As soon as you stand up the mesh slides backward toward the tree, giving you access to the whole lower section - no fiddling with moving the seat up. Seated to shooting in one step. While the mesh seat is comfortable, it can slide forward, not stretching itself as laterally as possible. This can cause the user to sink down in the netting a bit and the rear back of the climber can press up against your lower spine in this case. It was an issue for me initially but I remedied by using two small carabiners to hook the top layer and bottom layer of the mesh seat behind the rear horizontal brace. Easy fix for me but should also be an easy fix for Ol'Man.

Construction is rock solid. Only complaint here is some of the coating near the welds has chipped off and appears to have rusted a bit. I'm sure it's just surface rust but it's there.

All of the straps are cheap but they work. Back pack straps are not comfortable and adding aftermarket straps would be a good option. I'm a muscular/athletic individual and I did fine carrying it (along with a 20 pound pack) over some serious terrain for more than half mile. I probably will not add aftermarket straps.

The safety straps that go from rail-to-rail in order to secure the platforms to the tree are the same thin nylon and the clips are cheap plastic. One of mine has cracked and is unusable. It's the female end so in order to replace it I will have to cut the strap off and replace the whole thing. The stirrup straps are the same nylon, but do a fine job. The bungee that you use to tie down the rails for transport doubles to strap around your heels when in the stirrups, essentially locking your feet in and leaving them feeling very secure. I don't ever use the bungee with the foot straps and do just fine.

The cables are quite thick leaving the hunter very confident in their durability and grip around the tree. One thing I have noticed is that the rubber coating around the cable gets worn down as it rubs against the end of the square railing where the cable enters the rail. Not a huge deal as you can alternate which holes you use to secure the cable, but something to consider. I do not believe Ol'Man resells spare cables.

The actual performance of this climber is phenomenal and the teeth are far better than a vast majority of other climbers I've been around. Many climbers use square/rectangle "teeth" that I hesitate to even call teeth. The Multi Vision actually uses pointed teeth that will legitimately dig into a tree - so much so that on occasion the foot platform will get stuck in the tree on descent and I have to reach down with my hand to help jar it loose (a good problem to have).

Your performance may vary depending on what kind of trees you plan to use it on. I always target pines if available and this climber is bulletproof on them. I've also used it on hardwoods and it performs admirably. I've also used it on slick hardwoods in the rain and while it's a little sketchy, I was not worried once I was set.

Things that could make it better: Heartier straps/buckles, rounded edges on ends of rails where cables are received, better backpack straps, aluminum for weight reduction (for some, not an issue for me), way to secure mesh seat to rear of climber so as not to slide forward
