I love my Equalizer.
I was skeptical when I first saw the video but was lucky enough to live close by NavyDeerHunter who already had one.
We got together one afternoon he showed me how it worked and let me climb a tree, I ordered mine that evening.
I really like the positive locking system as well, the stand does not budge once locked.
The only draw back was the seat, I switched it out for an old Summit seat I had.
