Lanyard Positioner?

[oceans]

I appreciate all of the feedback you all have provided!! Placed an order for the Positioner 2 so the training will begin in a few days!!
Can't express my gratitude enough for all the great advice and points of views!!!

Good luck with it. Hope you enjoy it!

Use an ART with swivel on a double ended lanyard setup for years. There's a bunch of info out there that shows an ART swivel used with an additional prussik on top of it - presumably to prevent sudden letgo's. Just for the heck of it, I tried this a bit and just found it fussy (and one time the prussik got sappy maybe and jammed up) - went back to just the plain ART. Great lanyard adjuster. My two cents. Cheers

Never ever heard of anybody adding a hitch to the positioner, maybe a rope wrench or similar device, can you link me to that info?

This isn't the only place I've seen an ART positioner and hitch but it's the only one I could remember. Cheers

This video has a bit of a self contradiction.

It shows it positions ok for SRT as a lanyard but says it's not ok for SRT climbing. Your SRT lanyard could become your sole life support in a blink double tied in during a cut. (?) Also kind of weird pushing the handle up to descend DRT rather than pulling it down. Does the lever tend to lock up on full SRT mode descent? I suspect so. The grillon does but then they expect you to route the rope over the side for extra friction (grigri).

I believe the device on his MRS or DRT system is the Spiderjack 2. I sure hope the positioner does not use the same method!!

Looking at a couple mechanical devices for lanyard adjusters. Would appreciate your input and opinions on making the choice easier for me!! Thanks in Advance!!
In my budget window currently I have narrowed it down to the ART Positioner 2 Swivel and the Notch Glide. Please tell me what you guys think??

Maybe it's been said, what about the various Bulldog Bone line-up?
