I fell in love with this grigri designed specifically for lead belay the moment I tested it. Extremely smooth for giving slack to the climber. Otherwise, same perfectly locking functionality 👌

excellent. so smooth letting down, belaying and feeding for lead is so much easier

Works really well. Just a bit heavier than an old-fashioned grigri. Only really an issue if it's a big walk to the crag

No need for a grigri after this, at first I doubted whether it was worth upgrading and it definitely was. The best securing device for lids. Maybe even gives better slack than atc!

Excellent belay device for lead climbing; the rope comes through like a dream, but still snaps easily if you put weight on the rope. Excellent all the way! It takes some getting used to when top-roping and feels very different to a GriGri when belaying a heavier climber!

A great tool for belaying leads. The rope can be fed easily, but still locks reliably. The structure of the device has an amazing amount of slack and sideways play. Durability is still a question mark, as it has only been in use for a short time.

Nice follow-up version of the grigri series. I am still testing it to see which one I like better. In principle I can get along fine with a grigi. So I still have to find out how big the advantages of the Neox's are.

I used to own Grigrink, but this was an improvement on lead securing. Yes, this is also how a beginner manages to lock when giving the rope, but a lot less than with grigri. Locking when dripping seems just as secure as with a grigri, although this one has more moving parts and is more sensitive to giving loose.

A great addition to the GriGri. Giving out rope for lead climbing works great while blocking works just as well as with the GriGri. But the NEOX is also better for top rope climbing because lowering is much smoother. In short, I only use the NEOX for loading.
