I bought a Brutus Pro from Sportman' Guide for about 60 bucks. I saw it, and thought I'd give it a shot for that price. It's VERY solid, super quiet in the tree, and awesome comfy for this type of stand. The ONLY downside to it in my mind is that it's a little on the heavy side. I packed mine in about amile, and it wasn't too bad using the supplied backpack straps. I really like the way it mounts to the tree. You mount a collar first, and that has a pulley on it so you can hoist the main part of the stand up. My other hang ons are extremely light, but this wasn't a big deal to hang even though it's not as light. Seat folds up for when you want to stand, and even when standing quickly, or sitting quickly, this stand was extremely quiet. I plan on getting a couple more for the few places I can LEAVE a stand for most of the season...at that price I won't sob like a child if someone steals it, AND it works well.
