Jon, if you really want solid input, some of which would be from proven designers, put up a video. I don't know much about machining or whatnot, but I know you're missing a lot of quality advice from those who do. I can usually put strange pieces together reasonably well. I can't tell what...

What is the problem with a clamping mechanism, with cord? Is it the back-lash when unweighting? Seems like if you could get it to load well, the vice-grip type locking clamp, with a small diameter cord, and overhand stopper knot to be grabbed by the clamp is way more simple. Would it work to...

Seems like partial depth lightening holes would be able to cut significant weight out of the main tube. Seems like the exposed springs will collect material. Maybe no problem.

This will require a large enough drop zone that you need little "Branch English" (to morph a pool/ billiards term).

I don't like the idea of it grabbing and cutting, and refilling and ...KISS Aluminum with rubber-finger molded grip!! I think the crosswise grip versus handsaw grip. The basic idea of a rope that would easily replace, like a chainsaw starter rope (knot jams against hole), with a pistol grip...

K.I.S.S. I like the idea of this handle grip-orientation https://www.amazon.com/Husqvarna-5743876-01-Lifting-Timber-Carrier/dp/B0037W8YEM Seems more ergonomic. Add a piece of rope and a good clamp, with a quick release. Make it easy to replace the rope.

Throw line technique/ gear makes hanging a floating pulley fast and easy. I should do this more often.

I like the idea of a quick release that releases under load.

Looks like it could stand to have a breakaway lanyard for hanging on your saddle for using in hand, and a strong connection point to hang from the tree, or hitch to a stationary rope (allowing it to be able to slide up to adjust, sorta the way a footlocking prussic slide up). super light duty...

Looks like one side of the rope is fixed/ terminated, with a positioner (vice grip) like Ddrt. The vice-grip clamp is a quick release, active by thumb. Interesting!
