Great video. No fluff, just succinct info. It’s hard to research on YouTube when content providers waste so much time with needless words, turning five minutes of info into a 20 minute video. Thank you!

I use Hollis stainless steel backplate with a 4.5 lb P-weight and the Elite 2 harness. Very nice setup.

Upward inflection, followed by an upward inflection, then another one, and a downward inflection

There are
Steel, aluminum, carbon fiber and titanium.
Steel is heavy and not travel friendly.
Al backplate corrodes
CF has its own issues as well as high price
The best BP is Titanium
