Millennium TreestandsM7 Microlite Treestand, black

I have hunted with the M7 for a full season and really love it. The seat is comfortable and pretty wide. The stand itself is very light and easy to carry into the woods and up the tree. Some people complain about the ratchet strap and mounting system. I have tried using a lone wolf strap instead of the ratchet strap, but its not NEARLY as sturdy as the ratchet strap. If you do it correctly, you can stay quiet. I find the mounting system easy and rock solid.The only upgrade I have had to make with the stand are the backpack straps for carrying the stand. By the time I get my climbing sticks and other gear attached to the back of the stand, the straps that come with the stand are just not too comfortable. I bought some XOP straps as an upgrade.

Definitely going to sell my tree climber stand after feeling how light and easy to use this thing is.

Held my husbands 200 +lb ass so it must be sturdy! He didn’t fall out of the tree so it did its job.

Brought for my hubby , he loves it & so easy to carry long distances

Pros : I used this stand exclusively for bow season this year, and fell in love with the lite weight and comfort ( think run & gun on public land ). As far as the possibility of dropping the seat screw ... just flip the seat while you're on the ground. To my surprise, it shipped with a really nice 35ft Safe Link line. When hooked up correctly, the cam-lock/ratchet system is absolutely the most tight and secure tree-hugging thing I've ever used.Cons: I had multiple issues with the cam lock system. I loved attaching something light weight to the tree and then hanging the stand, but1) found that my ratchet was more secure if I let it bind up a little extra strap in the beginning,2) it was difficult to keep the cam-lock and ratchet quiet during setup & teardown [ 2 big clunky metal things that you have to remove/attach a bolt while hanging 20' up ]3) the ratchet didn't release easily during teardown. Even when in the flat position, I had to use my fingers (or a tool) to turn the axel4) it's impossible to hang the seat into the cam-lock receiver without making a loud 'clank'; run & gun hunters will need to silence this.5) I emailed support@millenniumstands.com and after 2 months I still don't have any kind of responseIn summary, as a run&gun stand, the M7 Microlite is the best thing you can get. In my personal opinion however, the cam-lock system doesn't seem so run&gun. Their idea of 'purchase more cam-locks' feels more like 'set up some fixed positions and carry the stand with you'. I can see the cost justification for someone that would have set up multiple fixed positions, but [as a run&gun] I want less fiddling when 20' up in a tree. I'm confident that Millennium **can** make a better receiver/ratchet system, if they wanted to.I would have given 5 stars if someone would have just taken the time to reply to my email.

Awesome hang on stand and very easy to setup

This is the most comfortable of all the many treestands I have owned, including full size stands. I am able to sit 5-6 hours without fidgeting. On top of this it is very stable and quiet.The only disadvantage I have found so far is that in using the optional chain-style mounting bracket it is impossible to get the bracket really tight around the tree. Stay with the strap type bracket that comes with the stand.

Wicked light weight and very comfortable to sit in for a long time. It is very quiet and so is the seat when you go to fold it up when you want to stand up.

Great stand.Lightweight, easy to carry.If you are going to deep in the woods, this is the stand.
