An amazing multi-use device
Have debated on getting an assisted belay device for years and have tried multiple GriGris and the trango variant as well. This device had me so excited. It is usable for belaying, rappeling and certified for professional rope access. The device is easy to use. I really like that it can be attached to a harness carabiner free. Also the orientation can be rotated in 90 degree increments to find the best possible solution for lowering. A large handle helps lower the climber and if you go too far the device "pops" and locks out. One can either move the handle further or reset it to resuming lowering. The first time it locks out it is a little scary but easy to get used to. Overall, this is a great device and my new goto for all applications.
Pros:
- Simple to Use
- Convenient
- no carabiner needed
- multi purpose
Cons:
- takes getting used to
Best Used for:
- Belaying
- lowering
- rope access
Would recommend: Yes
Works, but struggles with thicker ropes
I wouldn't recommend this if you plan to use it in the gym or with any rope thicker than 10mm. The anti-panic mechanism will continue to disengage the device while trying to lower. Aside from this issue, the device works like any other assisted belay device. I didn't care for the mechanism to open/close the device, and having to twist it to an angle to get it off your harness without the use of a carabiner. Racking the device without a biner also causes the device to sit weird on your harness. Overall, it has some new designs that try to differentiate it from the current gold standard assisted belay device, but I don't find any of the features compelling.
Pros:
- None
Cons:
- not good with thick ropes
Would recommend: No
