Default ladder stands

New to the use of ladder stands has anyone had any problems with them. I have a slight woblle in my stand at the top, I am worried about noise when I stand to shoot. Any suggestions.

Yeah put the strap tighter at the top. Also make sure the base is secured and level and also make sure the stabilizer in the middle is tight.

I have been switching to hang on stands my last 2 years because they provide me with more cover and I like them a lot better.

I got a good deal on the stand plus it is good for an older guy I hunt with to climb and sit long hrs in. I am puting it in the middle of a big laurel bush so I do have good cover but I need to find a way to make it slightly more secure to eliminate the sound of the wobble.
