I really wanted to like this tree stand because of the advertised weight and size, but it would require a handful of mods (Long Wolf hanging strap for sure) to make this great stand. Even at an actual 9.4 lbs weight without the bracket, the setup is too noisy and cumbersome (screw in bolt for seat, ratchet bracket to tree, metal-on-metal contact between bracket and stand). Additionally, don't expect Millennium comfort from this stand. In my opinion, it's actually less comfortable than a Lone Wolf Assault because part of your body sits directly on the rear bar of the seat. By the way, I'm a small guy with a runner's build at 5'10" 160. Unfortunately, I think Lone Wolf/XOP will remain the kings of mobile hang-ons"”even at a slightly heavier weight.

Pros:
Lightweight - although advertised weight is inaccurate
Base is surprisingly solid and quiet for a welded base
Backpack straps (yes, actual backpack straps) are the nicest I've received with a stand and better than aftermarket straps I've purchased in the past
A lifeline is included ($30 value). However, as a mobile setup, it would have made more sense to include a shorter prusik knot lifeline that could double as a lineman's belt

Cons:
Noisy and cumbersome setup
No angle adjustment
Seat isn't comfortable
Paint was already scratched on the stand

lightweight, very quiet, easy to pack in, and the seat is pretty comfortable as well. Only complaint about the seat is I wish it curved down rather than cut straight across the backs of my hammies (can cause cramping.)

I wear size 12 boots and the platform is a little tight but I can't complain - you're trading size for weight and I knew going in. I like to run and gun on public land and while I own bigger, heavier, slightly more comfortable ones; I think it's my favorite public land hang-on.

GREAT STAND! have owned a few and this one fixed all the problems. It's light, quite, and super easy to hang. Would reccomend it to any Hunter. Foot space is a little limited but it makes up for it I every other aspect

I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable this treestand is. It is also rock solid. I add a strap around the base to help keep it from moving around. I own the M100 and this stand is 6 pounds lighter and almost as comfortable. This is great for the hunter who likes to "run and gun."

Bought this stand for 2017 bow season...so far it is excellent for my hunts on public land. Extremely lightweight and packable. Platform is a little small but that is the trade off for weight. You can sit in this stand all day, comfortable and very easy to set up.And it is very quiet. Great buy! Would buy again.
