I have always been skeptical of adjustable platforms. I have always thought that they are more trouble than they are worth.
I see a lot of pictures of adjustable platforms, but I never see any videos that actually demonstrate how to adjust an adjustable platform. Are there any videos out there showing how to adjust the different platforms?
I'll post more later, but I wanted to get some feedback on this new adjustable platform design that my partner, Raul has been working on for the past couple of months.
This first video shows a closeup of the new adjustable platform that Raul has designed. It's a variation of our non-adjustable platform and it is pretty sturdy. (He's also trying out an eyeless S-hook in the video. It was the first one he made, and he shortened the length of the shaft right after this video was taken.
This is the first prototype of the adjustable platform. Shown on the right at the very end of the clip is a newer prototype where Raul made a few minor design changes.
This second video shows how to adjust this platform. It takes less than 30 seconds to adjust it and lock it in place. And I can do it by myself! On top of the wood drum is a gas shock that actually pulls up on the drum when the 4 lock knobs are loosened, making it easy to lift up or pull down to the position you want it to be in. (The drum weighs about 35 lbs.)
Let me know what you guys think of this design. Like I said, these are just the prototypes and will be refined/tweaked a bit before the final design is made. Thanks!
