Default New Unicender

Rock exotica has made a Unicender.
retailing from AUD$340 ($395 with an adjustable bridge)
Ive seen varying reports of when it ill be available, but it should before July.
Im keen to give one a go as soon as i can get my hands on one.
Has anyone tried one out yet?

HOLY MOLY That thing has more moving parts then my saw. It reminds me of the old petzel tube descender/friction device. You need a b.a. degree to run it. When somebody gets one lets see it in action

I've used one a bit. Takes some geting used to. They have been around for years now, it's just that Rock Exotica are now involved and with mass production pricing is coming down.

They are OK on DbRT but realy shine for working the tree SRT instead of just access SRT switching to DbRT to work the tree..

Here's another way of running an adjustable sling.
