megatron & north ironheart questions

doneski - 22-4-2011 at 07:09 AM

I'm looking for a really safe chicken loop and I like these because they have center line swivel and can be operated by either hand. Looking for
1) opinions on which people prefer
2) info on how the ironheart III and IV differ

the ironheart safetly release is really nice. Its one of the push away safetys and it also has a spring in it to keep it in good shape. i used to have one that i used on my old phantoms and it worked great. the swivel works great, and it can be pushed away with either hand. Its not like some of the other chicken loops out there that the safety is just on one side.

Hey

I have an 09 North bar. Not sure if it's the iron hart 3 or 4 but as the chicken loop QR goes its the simplest and most reliable I've used. Also one of the easiest to reset. I've never tried the Megatron though. I've only tried inflatable brands. Cabrihnas, Slingshot, Liquid Force and Wainmans. I think of all those the North QR was best.

I have/had both....................the LIMFAC (limiting factor) for me was $$$.....................the IH4 is $120 while the Megatron is $40 and is equally impressive.......
