Quad Tube – Most Popular! The Quad Tube configuration adds an additional circuit of elastic which increases your boom range and sweet spot and improves vertical stabilization. This configuration is great for the Easy Rig or mounting to speedrail. The Quad tube is the ultimate configuration for performance and versatility. A Quad tube can easily be configured into a Dual Tube, just add some extra 6 ft elastics to your order.

How long does it take to swap elastics? Elastics can be swapped in about 2 minutes, less once you get the hang of it!
Can I use a Quad Tube with a WK Slingshot? Yes! You can use any Mantis on a Slingshot, the long tubes were just designed to match the length of the Slingshot arms.
How long do the elastics last? We’re anticipating 6 months of consistent usage and we recommend changing the elastics yearly. Make sure to inspect your bands often.
Are there different bands for the Easy Rig quick release retrofit kit? Yes, you’ll see an option when purchasing bands to have them setup for the Easy Rig QR kit. Those bands will come with a factory installed connector that interfaces with the Easy Rig QR kit.
How is the Mantis packaged? The Mantis will come in a box with a laser cut foam insert and lid foam designed for the Pelican Air 1555. Anything that does not fit in the case i.e. lots of extra elastics will ship separately.
What is the difference between a Dual Tube and a Quad Tube? The Quad tube takes advantage of a longer amount of elastic giving you increased boom range and a larger sweet spot. It is slightly wider and heavier than the Dual Tube. You can always convert a Quad Tube into a Dual Tube, just make sure to order some 6 ft elastics or you’ll have a lot of extra elastic slack hanging out. You can also convert two Dual Tubes into a single Quad Tube with the purchase of an “Extra return roller” and 8 ft elastics.
