Designed with practicality & swift setup in mind, the Wingman Platform eliminates the need for a stand alone platform. Utilizing the Wingman Platform as the top stick of your climbing system saves precious time when setting up for your hunt. If mobility & utility are what you're after, the Wingman has your back.
First off I’d like to acknowledge the designing that went into this platform. It’s built for compact “ Running and gunning “ all while being comfortable and light weight, A+ on that guys.
However before and during myself taking this apart for a paint job I noticed a few things that could use improvement.
CONS
- 1 bolt came with half the threads stripped, I did take a pick to it to make sure it wasn’t built up aluminum shavings (threads were indeed stripped.
- cast quality could be better. I have a couple hollow holes in my platform.
-plastic washers are basically junk, they come couped and deformed with 2 of them hardly intact.
- Anodizing or zinc coating on hardware comes off with minimal contact. ( making metal shiny and vulnerable to rusting )
PROS
- V bracket ( part that grips tree ) and climbing step is razor sharp, just be careful while taking apart to paint or whatever you intend on doing.
- Light weight
-innovative
-stable and comfortable design
Overall I would recommend this, but I’d like to see them do better on the quality control side of things.
Excellent platform for the price. Turned mine into a one stick and it’s been great. Grips well and feels solid when side loading it. Definitely recommend if you’re in the market. Feels like I’m standing on a huge platform compared to my previous stick. The angled front is much more comfortable for me vs a straight platform. Again, highly recommend.
Another quality product from Trophyline. I'm using it as a 1 stick and it is a major upgrade from my last entry level option. Love the angled platform that adds comfort for longer sits. The only complaint I have is the edges of the doublestep are sharp. Any added aider will require some filing or some sort of tape be added to prevent tears. Overall would definitely buy again. I had an incident with shipping which was in no way the fault of Trophyline, rather the shipping company. Trophyline customer service was excellent in making sure my situation was completely taken care of and it was much appreciated!
Great platform with a step . Get old knees a little higher. Light . Quick to set up . Angle is great on platform . A great addition to saddle set up .
I found i was unable to comfortably standing on the lower step with how far the platform sticks out. Seems to not be a problem for others but i'm not sure this climbing method is for me.
