XOP missed the mark here. They needed to get this stand to $300 and theyd have sold a metric shit ton. Sometimes volume makes up for price and XOP forgot that here. The vanish evo is the offering that matches price and mobility for accepting it being made in china. Once we get to $400 you might as well bite the bullet and buy the LWCG. Its not like average mobile guys buy multiples of these stands.

totally 100% agree with this statement!! I bet they bring that price down eventually.

Great comparison J! LWCG coming in with better in-stand mobility while still weighing less. I don't know why a guy wouldn't spend the extra $100, keep his money here in the states, and have the better crafted, designed, and thought out system.

I wish someone (krhmm hmm krhmm) would make a video where they actually shoot from these small stands. Can you shoot straight away from the tree seated down, can you turn while sitting, how hard is it to stand up with bow in hand and lift the seat up with the other. Also would be great if you showed with tape measure where the given dimensions are. Like how much is from the tree bark to edge of the seat etc. We're about same size and shape so these reviews are great, probably going to buy the .5 soon and get last hunts of the season on it.

Which one sets to the tree easier ? I know the .5 can sometimes be a pain to get it right especially when your 17 ft up in a tree and trying to be quiet.

@MichiganGreatOutdoors Жыл бұрын

Id say they both setup very similar, Ive never had an issue setting the .5 on a tree before. If I had to choose one that is better id go with the lwcg since is has the reverse tooth design.

Has anyone measured the actual seat height of either the retrograde or cold world?? I like the size of the retro but sold my .5 bc of the low seat. Wouldnt mind trying the retro if i knew it was 20" or so. Its definitely higher than 18", that or the .5 is lower than 18". Anyone know which it is???

@MichiganGreatOutdoors 11 ай бұрын

The reto is higher than 20" the .5 is 18. You can get a .5 with a taller post though. I have the 22" post on mine and love it.

What’s even crazier is the beast stand is all around bigger than both and weighs the same.

pretty close, the beast stand is 6.8 bare and the LWCG is 5.8lbs bare.

The older stands have the “sharper” edges but I have noticed with mine I got last yr, they have the updated finish, and the edges are finished down much better.

@michigangrownoutdoors7254 Жыл бұрын

I can’t remember if you said it in the video… but the post heights… I think the biggest difference in height, other than the seat pad, is where and how they attach to the platforms. The XOP is bolted into welded on tabs… and the lwcg stand the post sits down into the platform where it’s bolted on.

@MichiganGreatOutdoors Жыл бұрын

correct.
