The new ones are reinforced but I just gotta ask if anyone is using them and are they still snapping at the worst possible moment. Or should I get a couple of them there Free Parable Gorilla cages?
I'm just going outside ...

The New new ones are HD and plastic! Might be better but look 'horrible!

God that is gopping. Not that I can find them for sale anywhere though. I reckon it needs a broader base too, or a strap underneath.The New new ones are HD and plastic! Might be better but look 'horrible!

If you've got 3 mounts then I'd certainly get a Gorilla, the QR capability is very handy ... and they have a strap at the bottom 

May the bridges you burn light your way

I used the V2 metal ones on a tour in Iceland last summer and they worked fine. Had my kitchen kit on one and the repair kit bag on the other. The weld is much better/longer then the V1 cages if I recall.

I've been using the V2 cages on my bivvy trips last year and they were absolutely fine with no issues.
