First time Novix buyer. I bought the helo hunt ready system but changed out the sticks from the single step to the double step. I absolutely love this setup. I am a very large guy at 6' 3" 340lbs. I know the stand is only rated for 300lbs but I bought it anyway. Im not telling anyone to do the same but I can tell you this, this stand and stick combo is extremely rock solid and quiet while I'm on them. Never once have I felt unsafe using them. The only thing I would change is next time I would've bought the echo stand. The helo platform is on the smaller side and there's not really much room for a big guy with big feet/boots to maneuver around. For the sake of a couple extra pounds, get the echo stand instead of the helo. Great product so far! Definitely would recommend
Really enjoy my Helo. Light enough for long pack ins/outs, platform and seat is just big enough to stay comfortable. Would recommend to anyone.
This stand rocks for mobile hunting! I’m 6’2”, 170lbs and I have not had any issues with the size of the helo. It’s become my go to for mobile hunts, having the ability to adjust the angle on platform & seat is what makes the helo stand out. I’ve found it works great as a saddle platform too.
The only thing I don’t like about it is that it comes with bluish grey cam straps and those definitely stand out against any tree bark, those I switched to brown straps.
Love it. Enough said
