PODIUM Platform

Quality product

I've been running this platform for the last two season. It's seriously a hidden gem. Super easy to set up, really bites the tree great. I've put all kinds of side pressure on it the last two seasons, I've never had it so much as move. Light weight, roomy, and super easy to get around on. I couldn't be happier with it.

Great platform. It bites the tree perfectly. With no fiddle factor. It is rock solid as well. I like the shape of it. It really allows you to get your feet right on awkward weak side shots. A perfect design.

For its size it’s real light weight. It’s got a great platform size that gives you plenty of room to adjust and change positions. The platform is coated with a type of skid resistant coating which is helpful. I’ve used it maybe 20 times now practicing for this coming season, but I enjoy it so far. It fits fine on the outside of my pack and the strap that comes with it is overkill for any tree you’ll ever set up on. It’s takes a few times to figure out the proper tension that you need on the strap to get the right hold to the tree, but once it’s there it stays there. It really digs into the bark. I’ll try to give an update during the season.

I'm 62 years old and started saddle hunting for the first time this recent deer season . After researching different platforms I settled on the Podium based on cost, product warranty and ease of use. I used it on different types of trees with all kinds of bark and this platform held solidly on every one. I highly recommend this platform for anyone looking to get into saddle hunting. Great customer service comes with it for free!

My 1st year saddle hunting and I purchased the podium for light weight and size of the platform. It exceeded my expectations as I took 2 bucks out of the set up this year. I’m very happy with my purchase.

I own a couple of platforms. This is by far my favorite. I carry this things with me in the woods every time I head out. I’m 6’4”, 265ish. The Podium is rock solid and super fast to install. Handles all the side pressure I can put on it with no problems. I absolutely love it and will be buying a second to put my son on.

Great platform, very easy to hang, easy to level, comfortable, no movement, and super super light, would be cool if there was some sort of backpack designed for y’all’s platform.

This is a great product if you only ever set up on a perfectly round, bark free telephone pole. It really doesn’t bite very well into trees of irregular shape and large size. It works fine but it will come loose and slip if you put any kind of real side pressure on it. Additionally, the mesh on the podium is not adequate. I bought it in October and I have little over 100 hours on it and it’s already all dented in. The owner of the company seems like a good guy and he was very accommodating to my requests. I paid about $160 with shipping and everything.... I’d recommend it if you could get it for more like $100.

I’m a first time hunter, decided to go with a saddle and was looking at alternative pieces that are quality. Saw this platform and thought I’d give it a try. It’s sturdy, easy to get set up, and fits in my pack alright. I’ve never used another platform so I can’t really say if I prefer it over another, but it works, and it was relatively affordable compared to others out there.
