This lightweight assisted braking belay system of tube type bridges the gap between traditional ATCs and assisted braking devices with moving parts like the Grigri. When the climber falls, the Black Diamond ATC Pilot assists braking by pivoting upwards to lock the rope. It can be easily unlocked by tilting the brake down using the thumb. For belaying a lead climber, this system allows you to use the thumb grip area to reduce resistance and provide slack more quickly and easily. Offering an intermediate solution between a normal ATC and a moving parts assisted braking device like the Grigri, the ATC Pilot meets all criteria: it makes belaying easier and less tiring while remaining affordable and compact.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XImRSvs8KuI
