I really like it, great idea. I can't help thinking how much you look like Jesus now Reg. LOL.

You knew Jesus ?

Messianic hairstyling aside...

 

Looks a great bit of kit, have always been impressed by the re devices.

 

How much useable rope is contained within the winch? I'm thinking redirected, for tensioning speed lines etc

Kevin, My first thought was to retro fit the winch to the existing 3001, first via a bracket that fitted around the back where the rubber mounting are, then by a separate frame and strap. Neither turned out good sturdy enough and looked like a bodge. As it is in the video its solid, quick and easy, as the original 3001 shape accommodates the profile and orientation of the winch as you see it in the video. Seems logical to just to go with what works best.

 

 

Makes sense, now I've had chance to think about it. It's a new product, there are more sales for an upgraded model than there would be for a retro fit market and if you have a opportunity to innovate, no point 'designing in' compromises. I'm really pleased with current model and upgrade looks like a great piece of competition for the opposition - esp the predicted price point.

 

Laughed at your "you knew JC?" Retort !!!

Considering the general price of gear in this industry

700 quid seems a fair price.

Thanks for the demo you gave us on the Thursday at the apf. Some very good kit.

Around 700 seems a very good price given the cost of some of the other similar gear out there...

Nice, simple product

 

Another benefit from having an add-on winch is weight, when not using a winch.

 

The vast majority of lowering operations do not require a winch, and having it separate allows you to have a single lowering device without having to carry the additional weight of a winch when not requiring it.

Great vid that and a great product. Missed you at the show, came over with Silky and Jonny Quick but everyone was packing up at the time. Maybe next time

Good video, really good to meet you at the show too and get a demo of this setup there, looks like a great bit of kit and an investment that could change how one could carry out rigging especially having no experience of winch assisted rigging. Nice and simple, like it
