DMM Mantis

Super-light with great handling and two friction modes

DMM’s Mantis is a super-lightweight belay/rappel device that provides excellent handling. Its two friction modes allow for more-secure lock-offs or easier feeding, depending on your application. The rear of the device ensures adequate lift-off for easy paying out of slack to a leader. At just 45 grams, belay devices don’t get much lighter than the Mantis.

Other Features: High performance internal geometry gives greater rope control
Hot forging and CNC technology is used to shape the internal structure of the device to give greater control over a wide range of ropes. This is especially evident when using modern, small diameter ropes.

Two friction modes for varying applications
In its standard orientation, this device gives confident control over a wide variety of rope diameters. It can also be flipped 180° for smooth abseiling on thick or low stretch ropes.
