VIDEO: How to Use Aerial Friction to Rig Trees Down with the Rock Exotica Downrigger

DownRigger Technical Notice (PDF)

The DownRigger applies friction to the rigging line when weighted by the load, allowing the operator to control the descent by hand. Unweighted, the line pulls easily back through the device to reset the system. The DownRigger features the well-known Rock Exotica swivel top that allows for easy alignment with the load, and the double-locking side plate that makes rope installation more efficient.
