Mammut Smart Belay Device
The new Mammut Smart Belay Device offers unparalleled safety and ease of use for cragging, all in a lightweight and inexpensive package. The unique design combines very easy rope management making feeding a huge armload of slack for that hard clip easy, with a super-dependable locking feature that makes catching a hard fall very easy, even with ultra-skinny ropes. A side benefit is that this locking action makes marathon belay sessions easy while your partner dogs his project for the umpteenth time. Not for use as an autoblocking belay device.
- Suitable for all ropes from 8.9mm - 10.5mm in diameter
- Weight: 82 g

Love it...
Smart belay is the middle ground between a the simplicity of an ATC and the safety of a grigri. Just staring at it may lead you to scratch your head but once you run a rope through it you'll start to realize how easy and fantastic this belay device actually is. Only draw back is that you can't do a double rope rappel off of it.

Simple, intuitive, and smooth!
Nice price for an assisted catch style belay device, perfect for sport or single pitch trad, and amazing for toproping. It fed really smoothly using a 10.5 rope and is probably even better with a skinny line. Lowering was a bit bouncy at the start, but you quickly get used to it, and then you can lower as smooth as ever.
