I like CMI's style, want more info on how to use it. Didnt see it on the website. a video would be helpful.

I wonder if you could use it footlocking dbl rope and thus making both sides static.

I wonder about bend radius if you have that cinched down tight on a big piece, not to mention shock loading the cams.

It says it's meant to save time.. I don't think I would ever get to the point where I could set that up faster than tying a running bowline. Especially if you get the fumblies.

I can't help but think that combinations of cams, ropes and dynamic loads can't end well. In addition, it's going to be an object with relief in comparison to the piece being lowered, if it swings into the stem and takes a shot, or hangs up on a branch on the way down...there just seem to be a lot of opportunities for the wheels to come off.

i tie bowlines and clove hitches faster then i could see myself setting that thing up.
i dont think that is gonna stand up to daily abuse to be honest. it might work for the kind of dainty pretty boy arborists out their who is are afraid to get their ropes dirty.

Thats absolutely brilliant!
Makes the set up and retrieval easy peasy.
You will be able to send it up the tree with a simple pull of either tail, for double or single rope ascent.
And
Attach a pull cord to the cam lever and it releases for retrieval.
And
Quick adjust for spar work.
And
Quick set for foot strap, easily adjusted when in a precarious position needing.
And
Solves the problem of side loading biners.
And
Will allow you to work to standing and now working ends of the same rope.
Rigging applications are cool to, come to think of it.
This is a cool tool!and I am sure there is more for the inventive types.
Big Thumbs Up to CMI.

I have a prototype of a similar unit from ISC. In the ISC version they used grooved cams instead of toothed. It is a great unit for ascending doubled ropes. There is a second metal piece attached to the eye of the cam so that the climber is attached to an articulating piece. This allows both cams to clamp onto their respective rope individually and make slipping less likely.
There's a place for this tool in doubled rope ascents.

I like it, not sure what I'd do with it yet but I see potential. I like the way CMI makes stuff

It would work Jimmy. I did the same thing a few years back to ascend the AR at the ITCC. They didn't really love the idea of the cams against the tree so much, but it worked.

just an update for you all. the beauty is it is replacing a whole host of eye, whoopie and loopie slings.
have really loaded it up mostly on 8strand dyneema as a redirect to the grcs with no damage. Used in the wrap 3 pull 1 fashion and also as the anchor with the belay spool for self lowering.
I ahve no interest in this product or CMI I only like innovation
If you are a splicer, I can see why you don't like the ProKnot
Cheers
