Instant non-fan.
So it looks as though as well as making it easier to operate they have done away with the "clutch & plummet" - or as it would be on this version the "pull & plummet" - by profiling that black cam so if the handle is pulled down too far the pointy bit of the cam reverses the gradual anticlockwise (seen by the caver) rotation of the bottom bobbin and the rope is grabbed.Or am I imagining that?
From Mark W's prototype version, I don't think that was the case. I'm sure he can confirm though.New Simple looks similar to the current one (unsurprisingly), but potentially with identical top & bottom bobbins?Oh, and a couple more Stop photos:[img widht=250]https://scontent.fman1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/50096366_2011642625588732_7579214953437986816_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent.fman1-1.fna&oh=c802c11015317963dbb3caf4e22a8082&oe=5CCE4FAF[/img]

I think we must remind ourselves that these gadgets tools or whatevever are designed in the first intance to suit the needs of industry who arent really into changing bobbins. As noted before the needs of cavers are more secondary.
I'll be v interested to hear Mike Hopley's thoughts.
Old Stop I hard lock on the handle so would have to learn new tricks or have my day spoilt.
