Summit Mini Viper SD Climbing Treestand: Best Climber for Mobile Hunting. Lightweight for Run n’ Gun 

I’m 6’2” and 175lbs. I really enjoy hunting with my mini viper. It’s lightweight and easy to operate. I hope this comment will help those who are on the fence about making the mini part of your hunting life.

I welded 2 aluminum angle pieces on my mini viper bottom platform and put an old school fold up seat on it. Climb using my tether with a ropeman one. One foot on the tree while pull up stand with the other. Talk about lightweight. Its as good as it gets.

I love my Viper. It's the regular SD. Between this year and last when I got it I've hunted out of it 4 times and killed two respectable PA mountain bucks from it. This mini viper looks pretty slick because it won't hook your legs and heels climbing up steeper hills. I might give one a roll next year to see how it does.

Thanks. I was pleasantly surprised when you whipped out your crossbow. I use the BearX Torrid crossbow. Reverse limb.

Nice job! Thanks for covering the bases on this climber, it’s my first Summit stand.

Haha Dwayne, your'e not going to get me this time, already have the regular Viper SD, but I did buy the harness after your review,lol😉

Always a great video! Quick question tho if I could - what are you using to film your stuff?

Thanks buddy! Just bought it. Going to Finland for Whitetail this autumn :-)

Gotten back into hunting and I have never used a tree stand. I’m Shopping around now I have questions. 1) why camo the seat on top and brown on the bottom? Shouldn’t it be reversed? Your sitting on the camo. 2) why is the frame not brown (match the tree) my friend was showing me how to use a stand and alI could think of, was the deer looking up knowing that’s not normal. Paint the frame to blend in not the seat your seating on. I’m I wrong or a complete noob?

In my opinion, Summit makes the best tree stands on the market

I think summit is going to have to get into the hunting saddle industry

Wonder if you would do a video on the summit open shot tree stand please

I know it's a little off topic from this video, but would you mind doing a review of the Diamond Carbon Knockout bow?

Great Review! I have owned a SUMMIT Open Shot since it came out. Unfortunately a year ago last November I had complete reverse shoulder replacement. I still haven't tried to climb with it yet. I was thinking a sit and climb stand would be better for me.

I’m 4 feet tall and weigh50 pounds will it work for me ? I’ve been bow hunting 40 + years.

Thank you so much for this video!

Not bad for 17 lbs, but go lighter. I use the bottom platform and with my saddle and rope to climb the tree+ back Pack. 12 lbs.

Looks good thanks for sharing

Stick out like a sore thumb. Nice

Quero muito comprar! No Brasil não tem! Ajuda-me!

Show 👏👏👍

18lbs?
