CAMP Matik belay device

Matik is a modern semi-automatic belay device with an "Anti-panic" system and a dynamic cam. Matik is used for sport climbing and works with dynamic single ropes with diameters of 8.6 - 10.2 mm. The belay device has fixed side plates, and the rope is loaded just like a classic belay device. The dynamic rotating cam moves depending on the load. As the load increases, the cam constricts the rope, preventing slippage. When catching a fall, the cam constricts, but allows the rope to slip dynamically – meaning the rope doesn't lock instantly but allows about 30 cm of rope to pass through gradual constriction. This significantly saves the rope during multiple falls in the same spot and simultaneously reduces the impact force on the climber. The "Anti-panic" system on the Matik belay device is used for safely lowering a climber or rappelling on a single strand. The entire system is controlled by a lever on the left side of the belay device. The lever acts on the rotating cam, which regulates rope slippage during lowering. The anti-panic system engages when the force acting on the cam is too great – a quick tug on the rope, a fall, etc. – at this moment, the lever switches and stops acting on the cam. The cam constricts and locks the rope. The anti-panic system can then be reactivated by moving the lever to the upper position and back. Feeding the rope is facilitated by a protrusion for the right index finger on the movable part of the cam near the belay loop. With the index finger, simply open the cam to quickly feed a longer piece of loaded rope. In case of an accidental fall when the cam is released like this, the belayer has no chance to hold the cam open with one finger; the cam immediately constricts and prevents rope slippage when the rope is tensioned. The heat-formed aluminum body and internal critical parts made of stainless steel create the most natural path for the rope, thus significantly saving it.
