I've been on the platform a few times hunting now, It is a great option for people with bigger feet, that want a little more foot placement options as well as maneuverability while in the tree. The only complaint would be not have a strap or way for the post to snap into the platform when folded up. If pairing it with stick (which I went with the TL mini-sticks) its not a big deal until you're climbing with just the platform attached to your saddle. It is definitely not a deal breaker and a simple cord or small equipment strap/bungee fixes. I really like the thought into having the mini-sticks fitting on the platform! Highly recommend
This is my first saddle setup but seems to be great so far. Would recommend
The mini sticks and mission platform came with these straps, so they're my benchmark.
Very simple design and easy to use, but ive already noticed some frays.
