This lightweight, tube-style belay device with assisted braking bridges the gap between traditional ATCs and belay devices with moving parts, such as the Grigri. When the climber falls, the Black Diamond ATC Pilot assists braking by pivoting upward to lock the rope. The rope can be easily released by tilting the brake downward with your thumb. When belaying a lead climber, this system allows you to use the thumb grip area to reduce resistance and give slack more quickly and easily. Offering a middle ground between a standard ATC and a Grigri-style belay device with moving parts, the ATC Pilot checks all the boxes: it makes belaying easier and less tiring while remaining affordable and compact.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XImRSvs8KuI
