Skylotec Sirius Descender - a contender to rival the Petzl ID?

[@newgunguy4176]

If they make one WITHOUT THE ANTI-PANIC FEATURE, I'll get one immediately.

[@freddyarroyo2508]

The petzl rig doesn’t have the anti panic function

[@newgunguy4176]

@@freddyarroyo2508 Correct.

[@raphaelbeinhauer9242]

They released one 3 days ago, called the Spark.

I used to use petzl stop instead of petzl ID for for descender but now I I am using Sirius as a descender.what I find is petzl stop is way more easier to use but the petzl ID and Sirius is way more safer I Am not saying petzl id and Sirius are bad but I prefer using petzl stop for my descender most of the time.ty anyway for this video cheers mate

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Great video, you speak clearly and really showed most, if not all the features of this device. It's much smaller then the ID, what year did they come out? And where is it made? Thank you for your video, Jim.

[@reaxltd]

Hi Jim, the device is manufactured by Skylotec in Germany. It was released about 3 years ago now. We're so glad you enjoyed the video. We love the Sirius and use it in our training centre for most of our rope rescue courses. Although we still cover the ID as it's more common!

Just subscribed. Thanks and Godspeed.

I use the top becket for DRT. Only descender I am aware of with a top becket to accommodate DRT. Can use it for ascent with the top becket with a RAD and go up with ease.

[@carstenkurdek525]

I tried the sirius and like it a lot. best device ...no doubt.

[@arthurneedham8217]

What's it like for jugging up compared to an ID/Rig?

[@pixeldiversity]

unfortunately, it only is developed for 11mm ropes, am I right?

[@raphaelbeinhauer9242]

10-12mm for EN 12841 C, ANSI and EN 341 are 11mm, and I believe newer models are also rated as a belay device according to EN 15151 for diameters 9-11mm, both static and dynamic ropes. Not quite sure on the last part, my Sirius is from 11/2020, and doesn't have that marking. The new Spark (Sirius without panic feature) definitely is certified to EN 15151 though, and I'm reasonably certain the newer Sirius's are as well.

we are using them now the boys love them

Just recently, it arrived in Japan, so I got it right away. I used to use Petzl products, but this one is better.

[@erichter131]

Do you use this for high-rise window cleaning in Japan?

[@中林20系]

@@erichter131 yes!

[@erichter131]

@@中林20系 Awesome! You speak English well. Are you Japanese? I want wash high-rise windows in Japan. Do you ever use a rack or fisk?

[@中林20系]

@@erichter131 I'm Japanese. And unfortunately, foreigners can't get a high-rise window cleaning job in Japan. I used Eight-ring at first. After that, I used Petzl 's Rig. The advantage of using Sirius is that the rope is not kinked after use.

[@erichter131]

@@中林20系 Even if they speak Japanese? Would it be possible to contact you? I had some questions about high-rise window work in Japan and I do not want to interrupt the comments about the Sirius. [e-mail]

[@windowwarriorsforum9112]

Thanks for showing this device. I use an ID now but Skylotec is interesting

[@reaxltd]

It really is! Let us know if you want to buy one of these devices

[@ramoncaballero9319]

I'm not a climber nor have any of those, but my question is, is it possible to insert the tensioned rope into the sirius descender?

[@jeremycahoon6840]

No, I don't think it's possible. I think the Taz Lov 3 is the only descender that allows for a tensioned rope to be inserted into the device.

[@kwowoah]

Can you use with 12.5 mm rope?
