Has anyone had the chance to try out the new marker schizo bindings. The idea looks good.

Not a problem. Schizo's are probably the thing I'm most excited about for this next season. If they really do hold up as well as everyone's saying, I'll be getting a pair with Bents next year FA SHO.

I'm gonna get the new chronics but was undecided about where to mount them. These new markers look like a good the answer.

Here is the only thing I have to say about that:

Chronics are a fairly light ski. Adding a binding system like the Schizo will kind of defeat the purpose of that, plus there are a TON of people here that ski Chronics on here and many would give you great advice.
Depending on where you're planning on skiing these and how big you are I would say 1 or 1.5 back from dead center. And if you're planning on hitting say 50% rails 50% jumps maybe even a little closer to center would be nice.

Around -1 would be good then. I've skied an older pair mounted dead center and wasn't a huge fan. But I've also skied one -1.4 probably (Because my BSL was a little longer.) and they killed it.

ya if you want a light ski i wouldnt recommend getting the schizo. id imagine it to be real heavy like rental bindings on rental skis. especially for the chronic 1 or 2 back would work just fine and you save money.

It's barely heavier than a normal Jester, the plates are plastic and pretty low profile then and the metal bars will add about 250g per binding at most.. Still feels pretty flexible like a Jester though and it's a very small screw holding everything together in the middle which is what I'd be most concerned with.
