Works, but struggles with thicker ropes - Edelrid Pinch Belay

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.
