If I were going to put a backup above the Virgo (using a 30” eye to eye; tied in a knut fashion) with the two eyes looped through the carabiner that the Virgo was, could I use any gated carabiner, or should I use an oval carabiner only?
On fattie fuzzy gym topropes with my light partner I'll often have to fully pull the handle open to lower, having an anti-panic feature would be a huge pain
I wish it was as easy as he showed to give rope out when you have your climber short roped or their is no slack in the system. Its near impossible to do it as he does, even if you have a little slack. If you short rope a panicked climber with this good luck getting them any rope without them fully releasing everything they have pulled up!
just unlock the system with your left hand. the panicked climber will pull the rope and it'll feed easily (since you unlocked it). Just never move your right hand. practice a lot and you will love this thing. works great, I shouldn't even have locked on the first place. usually I just hold the right hand and the rest takes care of itself.
I'd like to see the climber take a fall and watch how well the brake assist works !! That's what's important to me !

He never blinks!
Thanks for making this video Adam. And thanks for the sample to demo!
looks like a really interesting device. onto the list it goes!
does it work well for left handed belayer ?
So, WHEN is it back to the market?
I got an email from Trango today 1/8/19 telling me that my replacement for the recalled device has shipped!

Is this device also used for top roping?
it's too bad that when pulling on the handle too hard it doesn't lock up like the newest devices in this category :(
not at all, from my point of view antipanic fonction are just awfull
because?
anti panic create akward descent, with an old rope it become a nghtmare, or with somebody light....

left-handed people is screwed , huh?
I'm left handed, I've used it. It's not hard to use. the right hand doesn't move much when belaying a lead climb.
Music is too loud and distracting.

"1st for performance, 2nd for safety". Mm....? Safety comes FIRST, ALWAYS!
He was explaining why to use the product a certain way not the over all ethots of the company and product
background music is distracting garbage.
