Black Sheep Innovations Roof Platform: https://blacksheep-innovations.shop/en/Sheep-Roof-Carrier-Base-Element-for-Ineos-Grenadier/IG-GE-PF
Thinking of this as a photography/sound recording platform plus carriage. Also as a refuge, see below..... Anyone installed one?

Hi Mike
Do you know if this link is private?
Or would it be best to use an email account to discuss, for a frank discussion of my experience so far?

If you have some experience with the BlackSheep roof top platform I’d be interested in hearing it as well. Been contemplating the different options out there for when ours comes soon.

I second you posting feedback on this Forum of your pros/cons as considering various roof platform products.
Feel free to direct message me instead if preferred

Very insulting the Stampede clip actor calls the Defender 110 (mirror-image of mine) a jeep

I thought I was being discrete and messaging privately, obviously not, I have issues which have not been finalised as yet.
Its best I wait for the outcome of my problem.

Hi Graham, thanks for your response. I would be very interested to hear your thoughts. mpfitzgerald@live.com.au. Please email me. It is not a cheap option and I remain skeptical as to how practical it will be for carrying stuff in addition to something to stand on for my hobbies of nature sound recording and photography. Hope to hear from you. Cheers Mike

Bumping this thread, in the hope of receiving some real-world reviews of Black Sheep's roof rack.

Im with you Crimson . I'm keen to get their roof rack once they get a distributor in AUST (I believe Thomas from Black Sheep said he was looking into it) They are expensive to purchase in $AU and just as expensive to freight. However I like the concept and mounting arrangement. Nice low profile. Nice integrated systems that tie into it.

My second option is get the Alu-cab mountaing system and adapt to a local roof rack. https://www.alu-cab.com/product/ineos-grenadier-load-bar-feet/

I’m interested in the AluCab option as an alternative as well. Just need to make sure it’s strong enough to support our iKamper RTT and trying to find some reviews from those who’ve installed it.

Graham,
Sorry to ask but if you were able to share your experience dealing with Black Sheep and their platform with me then that would be really helpful.
Thank you.
Richard
