I bought my first Lone Wolf stand in 1991. I was so impressed with the quality and function of the stand that in the early 2000s I bought two Lone Wolf Alpha stands and have been 100% satisfied with them. All three stands are as good as when they were new. This year, I wanted to get another stand, so of course, I bought a Novix Echo! The online ordering was easy, the delivery was quick, and, most importantly, the quality is flawless. I am completely satisfied with my new Novix stand and can't think of buying any other brand.
I have had a chance to use it a few times. From 50 degrees to 25 degrees. No squeks No giving way. It hung right up. I did have a problem with it when I got it. The adjustment pin for the platform wouldn’t move. I sanded it down a little now it works just fine.
Not specific to the Echo (It is top notch as always), the review is a shout out to Novix Customer Service.
UPS lost my package - Novix worked hard to make it right. Absolute pleasure to deal with. The best.
I have multiple stands, steps, accessories from Novix and will continue to use there products - I know I can count on them.
Quality is top notch and love the adjustability!
ECHO stand is fantastic, been using them a few years now. I am in the process of replacing all my previous stands, to own and use NOVIX exclusively. Had a hiccup the other day, not in the NOVIX, and I said that’s it. All these trash brackets are coming out and I’m buying all NOVIX. I must have the platform that is solid one piece cast. The lesser stand did not have this, and the frozen iced conditions the other day, let me know why they can never again hunt from a tack welded screen mesh platform. Not too many things are more AMERICAN than hunting…… but the market is flooded with China tree stand garbage…… how is that possible?!?!
Buy NOVIX, made in USA, brick $h1thouse of a stand, worth every penny. There are some minor things that would make a major difference that NOVIX could improve upon too. A little more seat cushion, offer Amsteel rope as an upgrade when buying a stick set or a hunt ready system.
