The Gen 3 JX3 Hybrid 4K Introductory Review 2022 - Minimize the Learning Curve 

Thx! Good luck!

Thanks for stopping in and good luck to you

Your welcome!

Awesome! Thanks for checking in and giving that feedback. Good luck to you this year.

John, do you have a video on that? I would love to see it. Thanks.

@@-lovefromnh No, but I will make one ASAP and let you know.

@@JohnSims3 have you made it yet?

@-Love from NH no , been busy but maybe this week for sure!

Hey thx! I am trying to find the time to do it! Lol

Thx man!

Thx!

Thx!

Hey thanks for the feedback! And no, I’ve gotten Captain America bf but not Sam lol

@@platinumpursuitoutdoors Have you tried one stick climbing with the JX3? Sorry if you covered that and I missed it.

I have. You cannot climb as high each move but it can be done. Rappelling is a breeze

Nice and thx!

Nice! I agree!

Hey thx!

Nice!

I think, as far as feeling secure, that might be a personal preference. I think it’s the most comfortable thing that I have sat in in regards to both Saddles and tree stands. It is superior in my opinion and comfort over both those.

Yeppers

Nice congrats on the purchase!

Nice I have had a prototype stick for a while. I do like the set up.

Why not use a quality climber? For the cost and weight of this system with their advertised steps, you could have a top of the line, lightweight climbing treestand.

You are limited with a climber to straight trees without limbs. Places like KS are nearly impossible to hunting with a climber… AND this is more comfy.

@@averageoutdoorsman9342 I do use a foot climber that is comparable in weight and have for years. The jx3 offers two things that the foot climber can't. First is the challenge of learning a new system, that's fun for me and it allows me to preset sticks not leaving my stand to nature's wear. The most important thing is the ability to shoot 360 with ease with stability, not to mention the comfort factor , as comfortable as my summit viper.

@@jimwiggins7479 I'm a single stick saddle hunter. Moved from a climber (I think many of us have), to save money, weight and noise. This system eliminates all of my reasons for the switch.

Thank you. I am going to cover the sticks. And that is the standard rope.

It’s the most complex all in one system. Super comfy!! Lots of accessories.

Is the actual weight 11 lbs?

@@alahorn8307 It probably is without the ropes and carabiners. It’s like 13-14lbs with everything.

It’s 11.6 on my scales bare, I think with the ropes you would go up to 13. Depends on if you are using 8mm or the factory provided 11mm ropes. It carries GREAT! Feels like a 6-7lbs pack

@@MHobbs06 good deal..Thanks for the info

Yeppers!

Hey Tony! Thx for checking in. If you do buy consider using my code it will give you a slight discount and also help my channel out. Good luck!!

Suggestion, call John at jx3 ,he is the owner, will most likely be able to answer that for you.

Yeah the external frame makes a difference IMO. The mess really helps distribute the weight. I can feel it go throughout my back. Let me know if you have any more questions.

@@platinumpursuitoutdoors Also, I think you stated the weight at 11 lbs..is that correct? Thanks

Thanks. It’s one of a kind

Thx. The promo is 5% off to help with shipping. The code is PPO22. Regardless what you end up doing good luck to you!

Thank you! Hope you have a great and safe season too!

They should be light weight enough, and they definitely can pack well. I think that would provide you a solid option.

I agree!

Yeah, that was my initial thoughts too, but when I put it on and felt how well the external frame transferred the weight. It felt like a 5-7lbs pack.

@@platinumpursuitoutdoors Agree it does feel lighter then it is. But weight is weight can't cheat physics

Yeah but the external frame distributes the weigh across your back, throughout the mesh and onto your hips. Like I mentioned in the video it carries lighter then the LWCG .5 stand that was seven pounds. The external frame is the key and that’s why I always have an external frame pack.

@@platinumpursuitoutdoors Agree great video keep up the good work.

Yes sir good luck to you!!

Awesome!

@@platinumpursuitoutdoors ...So, is there going to be an upgrade for 2023-2024??

An upgrade for the JX3?

@@platinumpursuitoutdoors ...I guess not...

I’m sorry I was just trying to understand. I do not believe that there’s any upgrades coming for the JX3

I believe in China. I have enjoyed using it.

Not a platform. Look at my latest video on their climbing stick system. A ring of steps would suffice also.

That is a wild edge step I believe.

Hahahaha it’s optional

Hey, that is cool to hear! I am not sure about the actual sales. I know black Friday was a big deal. Maybe you could reach out to them on Instagram and see if they’re going to be running any sales anytime soon. Also, if you’re comfortable with it, please consider using my code that just helps out my channel some. Thanks and good luck.

Hey I reached out to John the owner of jX3 and he said to text message him at this number and get will give you a 10% discount plus answer any of your questions. Hopes this helps. (803) 645-6126

Works perfect!

Yeah I am aware. At the pole I generally don’t, but I do agree with you, but the auto locking carribeaners are nice.

I’ve had this for about 5 months and for different reasons than a review. I’ve decided I liked it enough and it was unique enough for me to spend some time doing reviews on it.

🤣🤣

Yes, but you have to remember that price is essentially everything. But I have already suggested them offering it without ropes. Or to at least offer 8 mm ropes.

I hear ya!

Yeppers.

My friend I have a completely different video demonstrating HOW to shoot from this JX3. Please inform yourself of all my videos bf coming on and making accusations 🤷‍♂️. In fact I have an entire playlist dedicated to this. Also… if you paid attn to the tree fork section you would have understanding that you can pivot with ease on the tree fork. Merciful heavens man… please inform yourself.

​@platinumpursuitoutdoors I do admit I have not seen any of your other videos. That you are 100% correct. I do not deny that. And if in those videos you show movement is as easy as this is with the help of a 360 degree platform then I stand 100% corrected. If your videos prove me wrong that movement with just a tiny platform facing the sane direction as your anchor line then would wholeheartedly apologize to you because I'd be 100% wrong in my assessment. However, physics tells me that without a 360 platfor to reduce tension ine the line harness makes it super hard to move around the tree because your weight applies a tension force on the line. As you go around, the tension in the line pulls hard on you wanting to bring you back to that stable equilibrium point. My question to you is, and that was the point of my comment. Did you or did you not intentioally clip the video or shot it high to conceal the fact that you were using the ground to push you about? You and I both now, without something to push against to oppose the torque of the tension line, you will be spun back to the equilibrium point. I can say this because I SRT recreationally. It's not easy as you demostrate here without a support. So, can you say whethee this was unintentional or intentional. I say intentional because it was too perfectly trimmed off to not be. It was either deliberately shot high to conceal the ground or to conceal the use of the ground. Is this the case or not? You can be honest about it. I've owned up to the fact thar you are absolutely right, I've not seen anothee of your videos, but that fact is irrelevant. My critique was precisely about the apparent attempt of this video to conceal the use of a 360 platform. Is my assumption totally wrong or not. I am man enough to take your word for it. If you say it was not intentional, then I owe you an apology. So it's that simple. Was concealing the use of the ground intentional or not on your part. It's just a simple yes or no question. I could be totally offbase and if I am, I have no issues apologizing to you but make no mistake, it is oddly coincidental that this video is shot from the knees up. Why? Edit: I have now seen you video of how to shoot and in it, you proved my point which is, this video belies the truth about how easy it is to move about. You moved effotlessly in this video due to your feet being on the ground. Without the solid 360 degree platform, it is not that easy even with your ring support. That being said, I think my comment is spot on about the fact that this video makes it look easier than what it actually is. Why you didn't show you walking about on the ground, only you can say. As to the tree fork, yes it allows you to rotate about that point and nothing more. It will actually inhibit movement(translational) from that point if you do not disengage it so no, it is not much of a movement device aside from rotational movement. To translate, you must push off a platform of sort and yoy must disengage the tree fork as you did in your shooting video.

@@vangmountain My original video was to give an introduction break down of the saddle and then further more break down the rest of the ENTIRE system in future videos! You are the ONLY person who has ever questioned my motifs not just on this video but ALL of my videos. To me say says a lot about you. Out of 20.1k views, 336 likes and 134 comments your the only one to question my motifs 🤷‍♂️. If I am doing close ups… it’s to get great video quality and focus on what needs to be focused on! Also, it helps me run a lower aperture and keep the background blurred. There are times the wider the view in the daylight the harder my auto focus runs and you will see the focus shifting in and out. SO, I bring the camera in as much as I can in these situations. The beginning of my original video I stated I am starting an entire playlist dedicated to the JX3 knowing there I was creating a video about how to shoot out of it. SO there is no need to show that in the first video. My second video show EVERYTHING that need to be shown. No hidden motifs here. But thx for watching and good luck!

​​@@platinumpursuitoutdoors Let's be clear about something. I questioned your motives on this video and no other. And yes, I did question your motive on this video because what you state isn't true. The amount of movement you made with ease simply cannot be done with ease on a singular platform, which is typical of saddle hunters. Physics just doesn't allow for it. In your shooting video, you were able to move about thanks to your ring of steps, but it was not effortless. In this presentation you made it way too effortless to do so and whether it was your intent to embellish or not and whether it was your intent to conceal the use of the ground or not, only you know the answer to that. As to why I questioned it out of the thousands of viewers who did not, the primary reason is I'm not looking to be sold on a product. In other words, I'm not looking for a saddle system. I viewed you video out of curiosity whereas others maybe had their eyes on this product and were looking for affirmation. They wanted to be told what they wated to hear. I had zero biases. I was just curious so I had nothing lose which allowed me to view it objectively. This allows me to take what you say and scrutinize it without bias which is what I said. The fact is you cannot dispute my conclusions which are based on sound physics and my personal experience with SRT. It is hard to move about with ease on this or any saddle systen without supports to resist the forces of tension on the rope to allow one to do so. Knowing this, it makes me very skeptical of anyone who claims there is a system that by its design makes it easy. To make mobiliy easy, physics dictates that the tension force must have zero lateral components. In other words, the support line must somehow be able rotate with the shooter like a lanyard for an arborist. With only a lanyard to support, there are zero lateral forces trying to move you left or right. The second component to being able to move with ease like in this video is the presence of a 360 degree platform. This was all I was pointing out. I have nothing against you or your channel. I wish it the best and I hope you continued success. If anything you should take from my critique, it's that words matter. Your credibility matters. Choose your words wisely. Be careful how you choose to present your videos because you have a brand you've worked hard to bring to life. It's easy to get caught up in the moment and say things that may stray a bit from the truth. We are our worst enemy. Before you know it, you have a credibility issue. What then? Your brand now has a credibiity issue. I knew nothing of this channel before seeing this video. Instantly, it painted a bad impression on me. Sure, you can just brush me off as some guy whi just has an ax to grind or you can dig deep and ask yourself if maybe there is something to learn from my criticism. That's for you to decide. Again, I have nothing against you or your channel and I genuinely hope you find a lot of success with it. Just remember, just because no one critiques us doesn't mean we are perfect. Critiques that we receive are the very things that helps us to smooth out our rough edges. Even your critique of me tells me I too need to turn inward and ask myself if I could have done a better job of communicating with you. We learn everyday friend. I mean no harm and I wish you and your channel the best. Cheer!!

@vangmountain since this video was done one year ago I just went back to look at what you were talking about. I believe I found the section you’re referring to. When I said I was utilizing the 4 Bullman ring of steps That was in conjunction with the latitude X-Wing platform that I had at the base of my telephone pole just because you could not see it in the picture doesn’t mean it wasn’t there and if you watch as I navigate around the tree, you can actually see me pushing off the X wing as I’m getting onto the Bullman ring of steps. I even said I was utilizing them. My comment you can navigate with ease still stands. Just as you would any other saddle. Just as you could get around the tree with a regular saddle thus you can with the JX3. This is a QUICK REFERENCE VIDEO. For all the reasons Ive already stated I film close up. No sleight-of-hand going on here. Just go back and look at your original comment. It was not critique. It was accusation. Choose your words carefully because people reading them… what you said above. Generally RU-vidrs would block or wouldn’t give you comment the time of day but if you notice on all my videos I try to respond and help people out. If you have a genuine question, I can help out. If not, good luck to you. My suggestion is watch the video where I’m actually up top of the tree shooting at all different angles if you want the most realistic Hunting situation. As stated before the first video was a quick reference video with no bow in hand. But the second video shows it all. But please come if there’s a question or concern just ask the question, rather than make accusations. “This video is very deceptive, this guy is deceptive, very very deceptive this video is” your entire first comment was accusations had nothing to do with critique.
