I purchased one of these at the tcia show in Baltimore after talking with the rock exotica crew and it is by far my favorite friction device for in the canopy. It is super smooth and will handle larger limbs than I was prepared for. It’s very deceiving at first when rigging something bigger than what you think it will hold. And having 2 friction settings is awesome. I will say it works a lot better with 1/2 inch ropes than 9/16. This device will not leave my saddle.
