the lone wolf alpha climber is a great stand. its easy to use , strong and solid( im 6'5" 320#). plus its super light and compact!
The Alpha Climber would be great for what you are talking about. I use the base of it all the time to hunt and video out of. I rarely climb with it, but when i do need to climb, its also convienient. $300+ is expensive for a hang on but i have found it usefull..
