Shorter than an Eno is going to be a hard sell for many of us hammock campers. Looks like a hammock that may work with a child.
lighter not always better.
I have a couple of similar short, light hammocks (Grand Trunk) that I've never actually slept in... I should try it, having a 'real' hammock for back-up if that ends up being a bad idea.

This will hold me over until I get my 3.2oz DCF hammock.
I'm reminded of my very first hammock purchase, a Grand Trunk Ultralight, in 2011. In retrospect, the title is a bit ironic because they took a 9' lightweight hammock and added heavy rope and about half a pound worth of steel hooks to the ends.
Someone else's photo:
I believe they now come with carabiners, but I suspect they are still the heavy steel variety.
Single piece construction, not the typical 3-panel economy hammock, and not a terrible lounger for $20. I still have it.

For me this would be too small too. I don't have to watch my weight when camping. But if I did I might learn to accept a smaller hammock as light weight requires some sacrifice. Although, sleep is important to me so I might forgo the weight thing when it comes to sleep. Like I said in the video, I won't be sleeping in this one.
