The Podium Saddle Hunting Platform.
Weighing in at exactly 3 pounds is our first saddle hunting platform, the “Podium.” Solely made from aluminum and coated in a soft polyester finish, this incredibly lightweight platform is sure to be quiet on even the coldest days. Thanks to the two knobs located on the underside of this saddle hunting platform, you are able to level the “Podium” front to back to ensure a solid and stable set at all times. Included with the “Podium” is a strong, heavy duty pull strap to help secure the platform quickly and quietly. Note: 300LB Weight Limit!
Advantages Of Saddle Hunting
- Extremely Lightweight Tree Saddles: Tree Saddles are lightweight, making you more mobile. Perfect for the Public Land Owner!
- Little to no noise: With tree saddle, you don’t get the noise typically associated with pulling up tree stands.
- Hunters Safety: While there have been lots of hunters who have fallen from conventional tree stands, when saddle hunting you are tethered to the tree from the moment you leave the ground until you step back on it after the hunt, making it almost impossible to fall.

Podium
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.

Amazing platform
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.

The Podium Platform
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.

The podium
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.

Pretty Good
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.

Podium Platform
The platform is great and easy to pack in and out. The only thing I would suggest to change is on the places you hook the strap up to I would put something on to hold the strap better when strap is lose and your fiddling with it in the tree.

Solid Platform
I've been using this platform with my saddle setup and to hunt ducks in the timber. It gives me a solid seat in the timber hunting ducks and it is a stable platform for taking weak side shots with my bow. The expanded metal is aggressive enough so I don't slip at all but not to aggressive that I can't sit on it while duck hunting.

Works great
There not much to say. It’s lightweight and super simple to use. I’m a new saddle hunter and the podium is great. I climb my sticks, mount the podium in 10 seconds and climb on. It’s not squeaky or slippery

Very Nice Product
Watched a few videos on how to Cam this over on the tree prior to buying. I think that was the most important part because once you Cam it to the tree correctly it is rock solid. No complaints on my end. OOAL tells you up front that they have a 3 week lead time before the order is processed so make sure you know that prior to ordering. I had one question for them and I asked their online customer service, they responded quickly and were very helpful. Overall great experience.

Good product!
Good sturdy platform, only reason for 4 rating is adjustment screws could be improved to a single larger set screw

Podium Platform
Made solid but hard to get locked onto the tree. Kinda tricky to set up.

Podium
Great platform for saddle hunting that has enough room to comfortably fit both feet. Lightweight & compact, it allows me to have it attached to my pack for easy access.
