Millennium Treestands M100U Ultralite Tree Stand

While I don't write reviews often, I am compelled to pen this note in praise of the new Millennium M100U tree stand. I have 30yrs hunting experience, and think the M100U is the lightest and most comfortable stand I've ever used, by far.Fit and finish is superb -- the welds are clean, and the paint and finish appear very high quality.EXTREMELY ergonomic -- quite simply, this is the most comfortable stand one could buy. The sling seat alleviates all pressure points, while keeping one's back off the tree. Imagine relaxing in a comfortable beach chair 25ft up -- the M100U delivers the same. Difference in comfort is night and day, as compared to Lone Wolf and traditional hang-ons. The M100U truly is THE stand for my 12hr rut sits.Lightweight -- while I haven't put it on scales, this stand is every bit as light as its cast aluminum competitors. Too, the M100U is the only stand that comes with nice backpack straps that don't warrant immediate replacement with Molles.Slick mounting -- the M100U comes with a chain receiver, which I prefer actually over the Millennium ratchet strap option. While one will not be able to cam lock the M100U down in the same manner as the LWs (i.e., placing knee and weight on seat while folding up the front of the platform with one's other leg -- which technique serves to lock down one's top strap rock solid), the M100U's receiver system still is very secure -- and I think the benefit of enjoying the option to hang multiple receivers around one's property shouldn't be overlooked.Sole CON: Like most hang-ons, the M100U is a stand that requires (IMHO) an additional cam buckle or ratchet strap around its base in order to mount rock solid. Owing to the design of the receiver, one certainly needn't worry about kick-out; however, an extra strap around the bottom eliminates all wobble -- a 'must do' for my peace of mind. This would be the bar-none PERFECT stand if Millenium would add versa buttons on each side of the base, along with an extra strap (not a bad DIY mod idea).All in all, the comfort and ergonomics paint the M100U as the #1 stand on the market today, in my eyes. If it proves durable and if Millennium customer service impresses me down the road re: any future potential issues, then I'll be a customer for life.I'm happy to answer any questions, as I've researched the market ad nauseam.

Have not used it yet but it is extremely well built and I come witty full safety rope and full harnessSeat looks super comfortable

This is my second m100u stand and I love it! If you’re on the fence about getting one, you’ll not be disappointed! Very lightweight and the seat is literally the most comfortable on the market. I don’t sit mornings and evenings, I do all day sits. And this seat is designed so that even someone who isn’t use to doing all day hunting can do it. You can also get extra brackets to leave on several trees and move to other locations or take your stand out with to avoid theft.

This is my first review ever after ordering many products that are good and bad. Im usually not one that takes the time to write the review. I know the Millennium stands are good quality and comfortable. I had to go with 5 because Millennium provides a lifeline with the stand. I have never purchased a stand that came with a lifeline. Always have to spend $30 extra dollars for one. EVERY lock on stand should come with one of these. Its the only to stay connected to the tree the entire time your feet are off the ground. People need to use these. Just giving you a harness and tree belt is not enough. Most people fall going in and out of the stand. The ad never mentions the lifeline but it was certainly a welcomed surprise. Thank you Millennium.

This stand is the bee's knees, I had planned on using this as a more permanent lock on until it arrived and I learned about the bracket system it uses to mount it to the tree. Easiest stand I have ever put up by far. To make it 100% stable I did toss a ratchet on the bottom of it and now it doesn't move an inch. It's also the most comfortable stand I've ever used, you are angled back in the seat just like your favorite couch so no straightened back that gets tight after an all day sit. Comes with a lifeline as well which you can't beat for the price. Only thing you will need is some sort of insulated pad for when it gets cold. Super light stand and feels great carrying on your back, much more so than my Summit Viper

I've been on the lookout for "my" perfect lockon this year for mobile hunting setups. This is it. I can carry it up my while climbing with it on my back and setting up sticks. Pull it off and pop it on the ratcheting socket with no problems.I can definitely fall asleep...err hunt in this thing no problem. Comfy enough to hunt long rut sits with ease.I only have one complaint and that's the additional weight of the lock on socket system with this kit. I ordered the ratcheting one to shave a little weight and get quieter, but it's still heavy. That's the only thing I'd change on it.

Super solid stand! I got this for hunting public land. Very light at about 12ish lbs, and it’s pretty silent too. I usually hike a mile or more into public land with this and about 60lbs of other equipment and have never had a problem. It comes with the chain cam lock and I honestly prefer it. I just can’t trust the ratchet strap type. I’m a big dude at 270lbs.One word of advise, carry and extra ratchet strap and secure the base of the stand to the tree. Then you will have zero wobble when on it.

Just hung this stand and it feels great! I really think it'll be nice. However, tack on an extra 35 bucks to your budget and buy the strap version of the bracket. It comes with the chain style and frankly, it sucks! Also plan on putting a ratchet strap on the best of the stand to keep the base from moving side to side.I wish Millenium would upgrade and do away with the chain bracket.
