That's been on their page a while. I've only seen 1 other post about it. I think it's supposed to show up Novemberish?

edit: I guess November will be when we maybe start to see a little press on it..

Fer sure, don't mean to overlook it. It's so established it's practically old-school compared to the latest developments.

Not designed for srt from what ive gathered but works well with an rw.

 

[letigre]

i was told there was one kicking around at the itcc, didnt see it while i was there tho.

 

[chewbacca]

I saw a couple guys fiddling with something at ITCC. It looked like a large motorcycle chain with a rope threaded through it. Was that the Zig Zag? It did occur to me that it looked like something Surveyor made. Except it was shiny and refined. I must've been staring, cause when I walked by they looked at me funny and kinda moved so I couldn't see it any longer.

 

[chewbacca]

What I was really hoping to get a hold of in Portland was a Hitch Hiker.

 

[pctree]

Yes the chain dealio is the Zig Zag, like I said they ripped off Surveyor ....

 

[surveyor]

Bob S. saw the Petzl device at the Portland event. I am very curious to see what they have come up with. I will say the hitchless pulley rack of my design does indeed work SRT.


Edit: I believe this is the patent for the device with attached drawings. Looks like it has two integral headstocks which would need to be disengaged either progressively or together. It seems likely that it will work either SRT or DRT.

It is clear from the patent date that the Petzl device predates any public disclosure I have with the pulley rack, of which I am glad to see.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

S,

Thanks for doing the detective work.

In some drawings it looks like it could be used SRT and others DdRT.

 

[Erlend]

Midline attachement won't be an option though.

 

[Adam_P]

Very slick find surveyor.

I'll be interested to see the finished product. There's a few variations in the patent application. Some look a bit more busy than others...

 

[bonner1040]

Que apology to petzl from the naysayers...

 

[countryboypa31]

Three of the figures show it in srt configuration (fig 1,2,3) with some variation of fig 3. Hopefully it will be at tcia convention.

Little birdy told me the Zig Zag and various other petzl products currently in the 'black' will be unveiled at TCIA this year.
