ODSK are the Japanese distributor for the LOV 2 and I helped them to make a little video explaining the device.

Thats a nice looking helmet, what is it?

Good video Paul.  One of the guys I work uses it for SRT ascent with occasional work on the way up.

 

i was looking at it a couple of weeks ago but didn’t quite understand the full functionality of it.

The outside shape and lever are similar but internally the straight rope passage means that rope walking is achievable, which is a universe away in terms of application.

Thanks Rich, kind as ever.  It's great to carry a 10mm access line and have every one on the team get on the LOV2.

The helmet is the Wall Rider from Mammut, great for hot days and cycling !

the throw hook - is it any better than others - available to buy?

Sorry for the late response.  The hook is quite a different in design, setting and application and works well on larger trees.  I carry it most climbs for a variety of work positioning solutions, often setting it up close and climbing away from it.  Unlike the 'r' shaped hooks (or should that be 'n' shaped?!) this Bennett Hook can release easily from below.  It hasn't replaced my Eppel Hook, I now carry both and it is available from Thompson Tree Tools.
