This lightweight tube type assisted braking belay system fills the gap between traditional ATCs and moving part belay devices such as the Grigri. When the climber falls, Black Diamond's ATC Pilot assists braking by pivoting up to lock the rope. This can be easily unlocked by tilting the brake downwards with the thumb. For belaying a lead climber, this system allows you to use the thumb grip area to reduce resistance and allow you to release slack faster and easier. Offering an intermediate solution between a normal ATC and a Grigri-type belay device with moving parts, the ATC Pilot meets all the criteria: it makes belaying easier and less tiring while remaining inexpensive and compact.https ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XImRSvs8KuI
