REVIEW: Uplift Active Height Adjustable Portable Aerial Rig

Today I’m reviewing the Uplift Active Height Adjustable Portable Aerial Rig. I’m covering cost, what it includes, limitations, setup, how it compares to the X-Pole rig, and why I ordered a Ludwig rig. My rig is setup in my apartment and I leave it up between practices.
