I just got the vertical 2.0 right before Christmas. I already have two of the earlier version. And I have no complaints about that. Some people complained about weight- i’ve had lighter tree stands, but I would prefer to have a couple pounds heavier and be really sturdy and solid. But then when the 2.0 came out it is is way lighter still, and seems to be just as stable. I hung it out the day I opened it.
These stands are really comfortable, and I like how the seat does not collect snow and rain. I should’ve gotten the bow holder with it, maybe next order I will.
