It shows a nice lil video there.
Stand by my CAST/Shift baby comparison even more now.
Lots more moving parts than CAST, wonder how that'll do in cold weather or wet snow.

First impression is if I'm going to have to throw a toe piece in my pack then I think I'd rather just go CAST. I'm trying to be nice here cause these guys clearly worked their ass off building something to compete with the Shift. But 3 DIN just ain't worth the weight + fiddle factor + dealing with an untested "Marker" binding.

Ok, expected more of a shift like device. This is... interesting for sure. Just hope they tested for snow clearing, cause reassembling that toe piece looks like a nightmare, but I hope to be wrong.
Anything on mounting patterns yet?

Looks like fiddle factor is 10/10. Is there only one attachment point to hold the alpine toe piece down? That concerns me out of the gate - I suspect ice buildup in that latch could cause problems (definitely can see myself thinking it is locked in but actually isn't?). It does say "16" on it though...

This is the binding for marker sponsored athletes and people who ski in bounds 99% of the time but ‘might want to try touring’ and don’t know about Cast.

AAA rated GSA bait.
Website says locks down in four places.
fiddle factor looks to be right in with Shift/Cast. Uphill weight is 100g heavier than a shift and right in line with CAST uphill weight. Overall weight is less than CAST. Could be a good option for someone who wants more retention than a shift but doesn’t want to have to rebuild/risk their bindings with CAST, or don’t know about it. The vast majority of skiers continue to get their hardgoods from retail outlets who won’t carry CAST. Plenty of Big Race Dads who have been using Jesters/Dukes for a decade will be all over this.
Personally I think the MDV photos are really interesting for a variety of reasons.

Looks like forward pressure from the heel engages the primary latch hook.

Personal opinion.
Gotta give Marker some creds for putting together a Shift/Cast competitor.
They got rid of the heal lever mechanism from the Kingpin, and the toe pins are shifted forward. That just removed a breaking point from the kingpin style heel.
Any idea on price?

Interesting...
Patiently waiting for year two, post-consumer use warranty cycle generation.
If it's a short quick and easy walk to the top (beyond a boot pack), there are a lot of times I won't bother removing the tongues, I just throw it in walk mode, undo the power strap and top buckle.

So the people that are buying these things and shifts are the ones in the (side) backcountry now?
I’m glad I got too old and fat to be out there now.

I don't think they look horrible. Ice packing might be a problem. But what can this do better/lighter/etc than a shift?
