@Eric Sedletzky any idea if this will work with the freedom plate from when mine is ready?
@tomek77pl how old is all this and did you buy new?

I'm not eric
but I guess that as long as you use a regular or large the grommet holes should line up. The short plate uses narrower holes, so you wouldn't be able to attach the wing to the plate, if that matters to you. Also, this wing doesn't have built-in roll stabilizers I believe, so you might want to use it with rails or include something to help stabilize the tank.
I have been using a dive rite voyager wing for the past few seasons, which has identical center cross-hair webbing as the dive rite travel wing. After over 100 dives with it I have never had a problem with my tank not being stable on my backplate. I use 2 cam straps and I have the wing attached to the plate with plastic book screws/sex bolts. My tanks are held securely, have never rolled, and have never slipped.
My oldest daughter uses a dive rite voyager wing as well, she has never had a problem either.
My youngest daughter has a HOG 32lb wing, this wing has the built-in roll stabilizers, but from our experience they are superfluous, at least if one is using 2 cam straps.
That all being said, this may be more of an issue with the Freedom plate due to the way the plate contours.

This is a great deal for a wing, especially for a dive rite wing. The spare bladder looks to be their newer style nylon material bladder, which if I am not mistaken they are offering a lifetime guarantee on the bladder, here is a video of the owner of Dive Rite discussing this:
If the bladder inside the wing is also the newer nylon instead of the older urethane material, then this is an even better deal.
I would jump on this like a fat kid on a cupcake if I was in the market for a single tank wing.
