I found if you Turn your tray around so the two fitting attached to the box rather than three. That then gives you three on the outside two for the legs and one for the brolly. Saves taking the arm and tray is super strong
I got t admit, that whole set up look the dog's nuts. You know exactly what I'd get my grubby little mitts on if I could. I said I'm a bit of a fan of Matrix gear. And these past few videos only go to bolster that up. Obviously a man of taste, you've got very high in my estimation now. You never were that low either. Well done Ben. Another top video.
I must admit the bait brolly is worth buying it nearly covers all your side tray I'm like you I haven't used a brolly for years too awkward when fishing with rods,a nightmare, if I get wet so be it can't wait to get my box now keep up the good work many thanx
The black insert is 22mm and is the one to use for the brolly to get a secure grip. The brolly is excellent and better than hooded trays in my opinion. Not sure how you will use the roost you got with the brolly in position.
Hi Ben great video as always, first of all the matrix seatbox does look good, but i am slightly concerned with the attachments and how they would work IRL .. the tray looks to have and extended arm by a few inches, this could be due to the clip on/off arrangement but it appears to push the tray away from the seatbox, i only have short arms so this wouldnt work for me tbh trying to reach the back of the tray, the preston trays literally snap on virtually up against the leg so there are no large gaps, im also not in favour of that large brolly it leaves the sides open to the elements and plus its a very long reach if you need to adjust it or infact you will have to leave the seatbox itself especially if you have the top kit roost as well, im still in favour of the preston venta-lite hoodie, yes i know it sometimes lets in rain in the worst of conditions but i spray mine with a good water repellant spray which seems to do the job and the sides do still offer a little protection. i would be interesed to see you on the box on the bank with pole etc to see if it is comfortable fishing for you.. i do hope it is.. take care keep the vids coming ... tight lines..
Loving the videos Ben and the new Matrix gear too, Just a quick question does having the brolly up with the arm in the middle of the tray interfere with the top kit roost and getting access to the top kits????
What size tray are you using for this video? Is it the standard size or the extra large? Great video by the way & looks a great bit of kit. It may seem a bit expensive, but at least it is waterproof, unlike the other covers on most side trays!! Keep these great videos coming & tight lines 👍
Hi Ben, a question for you. I have a map 501 which i bought 3 yrs ago, 2g, I find at 14.5 meters its a bit heavy with a dodgey shoulder but manageable. I was thinking of upgrading to a Daiwa tornament pro x, do you think with your experience of using different poles i will find a significant difference in weight at 14.5 metres. Its a £2600 gamble ! cheers and keep em coming.
Loving these makes me feel better spending loads of money on gear lol knowing I'm not the only one haha

Do you think the support arm would be long enough for a Preston absolute box with a venta-lite XL side tray
Is the arm long enough?
easy bud
Looks superb and practicle. But alot of money.

Yes it does! Ill properly move to the right it will still have plenty of coverage
