Adjustable treestand
Do you guys know of a treestand that is adjustable once you've already started climbing?
I love my summit titan but would like the ability to adjust slightly as the tree size tapers down as you go up.

Equalizer -- has a hand crank and can adjust up to +/- 15 degrees. Great stand for gun hunting and similar price to most good quality stands. https://www.equalizertreestands.com/index.php

I wish the hand crank feature was on my summit. Even if the cable stops were staggered or spaced differently on one side than the other. alot of times one stop is a little small where the next one is just too big once you get past the 15ft mark or so.

With a bit of practice, one can become very good at judging a tree so that the initial adjustment will be very close to level at final height. On some occasions, I have adjusted my Summit on the fly if my estimate was wrong. It's not very difficult. Be sure to wear a safety harness and also that both sections are tied together if you do this.

you might can find a stand to adjust but I would just keep using your titan that is what I have and I have had several climbers this is by far the best I have ever used. If you find another stand I dont think you would be happy with it.

The thing I do is put a strap on tree step on first and this allows me to set my climber higher on the tree and at a less steep angle. The tree is so much wide at the bottom but once you get up a few more feet the diameter doesn't change as fast.

I got a Timbertall Baby Lite, weight 12-14 lbs., has a knob for adjustment. It's not an ideal tree stand for BIG people though.
