I'm on the HH1. Never used the HH2 but by all accounts it's the same but smaller.

I would describe the BDB and Akimbo as company mechanical SRT devices, if that's what you're after.

 

Yeah, that sort of thing. It's interesting to see how the devices develop.

I meant compact not company.

For those who have a HH(2) and struggle with it sometimes 'kinking' and being a pita.

Good video Warren. That's great how the shackle pin removes so easily at 4mins 14sec.

Thanks for sharing.

the shackle and pins are available again

I tried this configuration with my HH2 and quickie shackle and unfortunately does not fit as the quickie rubs against the protruding bolt heads of the HH2. The HH in that vid is different to the HH2. Looks like a prototype of something?

[broadsword]

OR something I meant!

Yeah, one of the prototypes Paul made had a D shackle. Looked good like in the video but in actual use it was not an improvement. When in an awkward position, like passing the HH through a fork out on a limb it could be a real hand full. With the carabiner it can be done with one hand. Not so with the shackle.

cheers guys. i might spend some money and try out the BDB.

Just borrowed a hh2 of a friend who hasn't used it. Where do people clip there chest harness to?
