I have been using the SpiderBrace(s) for years. The fact is they are great stabilization for the money but I have had to buy a new one almost every 1.5 years. They are made from PVC so if you use it a bunch then they just won't last. Those are my two cents. I have been looking at the Bushhawk but I am leaning towards the new IndiSystem UltraCompact. Any more feedback on the Bushhawk would be appreciated.
