I haven't tried one but it looks FB. Just add an aluminum pole and leg
clamp and you're good to go.

You're actually trying to lift 70 pounds so it's a heavy pull.

Looked like it would work great, but flopped.
Probably too much friction over the little pulley. (I'm not sure that you
meant that the pulley was 1/2" in diameter.) You need something with a sheave
that's 3-4 inches or so across. It'll still take some effort but that should
help.
