Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Optimized Viking Solutions VS-VSL001 Game Processing Multi, One Size by Lisa Hill

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I want to love this device, but the Viking solutions make it very difficult.

The concept of this rig is brilliant. It's a 54-pound rig that breaks down into three easy-to-use components. And the installation and disassembly can be completed in less than two minutes. Haven't used mine yet but have no reason to believe it won't work as advertised. I assume this works to my satisfaction. So why 3 stars? It's all about the production. This thing was literally made in a factory somewhere deep in China with dirty floors and some really bad manufacturing equipment. Presumably because of severely underpaid child labor. Was it difficult to get together? It's a matter of perspective. It is not enough to put together very difficult. So technically, no, it wasn't difficult. But with that said, it's hard to put into words how much harder this thing was putting together than it needed to be, which ended up being just annoying. Installation should only take a few minutes. Instead, it took me almost 45 minutes to make amends for the terrible production. And I didn't even have a problem installing the winch because I have a socket wrench and a roll of tape and I know how to use them. But there were many other incomprehensibly stupid manufacturing errors that needed to be corrected. The point is this. They invariably chose the cheapest production they could find. And for 200, to be honest, port transport produces much better products. It reminds me of the goods that the ports produced 15-20 years ago. For the money I would definitely have expected better. Well after all this I think this is exactly what I want? You bet. It's really so simple that even a bad production can't ruin the end result very much. If they had put a little more into making a better product I would have paid the extra dollars and given it 5 stars all day.
