Choosing the right belay device is crucial for safety and problem-free climbing. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a safety device:

Type of climbing: Consider the type of climbing you will do - whether it is indoor, traditional or alpine climbing or ski mountaineering. Different environments may require specific features of the fuse.
Compatibility with the diameter of the rope: Make sure that the belay device is compatible with the diameter of the climbing rope you will be using. Manufacturers provide specifications, so check the recommended range.
Braking mechanism: Braking devices are manufactured in different styles of braking - tubular, assisted braking and automatic locking.
Weight and compactness: For multi-pitch climbs or high-altitude adventures, weight is important. Choose light and compact securing devices

Do not forget to regularly check and maintain the safety device according to the manufacturer's instructions. If in doubt, consult climbing experts or instructors.
