Ilove it especially if you get in a tree with a big canopy I thought I was able to move around before with this thing you could fly.I like the one handed control

[slack ma girdle]

Big trees with big wide canopies brilliant, smaller trees i have scared myself on numourous times when is catches and you drop a couple of feet until the cam re-ingagues.

I have had mine two years, and i still don't entirely trust it.

It is like marmite love it or hate it.

Don't use clutch by it self if u want it to run smooth always hold clutch down w/ pionter and middle finger w/ thumb at same time hold brake then release force on thumb to control descent speed when it's time to stop simotaniously release clutch and wooden brake and there be no shock loading no sag

Had one for a few months now, and get on really well with it. You do need to get used to it, but once you do, it knocks spots off a friction hitch. In a congested canopy, you can find that it just catches on a twig or branch and gives you a little wake up drop :eek: but the smoothness while moving around and branch walking is superb, and as you can descend on it (unlike a friction hitch) no more fiddling around with a fig 8 descender when it is time to come down for tea. Thinking of the ART positioner 2 when I get some spare cash - Christmas is coming...

Impulse ordered the spider jack 2.1 and art basic positioner from jones's yesterday looking forward a play when they arrive. Found a lovely big beech in hidden away in the corner of a park near me should be perfect for a test run. the demo vid on honey brothers site makes it look far to simple. Might be dead by the end of the week but we shall see.
