Description quoted from F Online Store:

The Duck-R Stainless Cam is a product with high durability against wear due to aging, as not only the main body but also the cam is made of stainless steel. (Compared to the T02L aluminum cam)

This is a backup device that can be used with semi-static ropes of φ10.5-11mm that comply with EN1891TypeA.

The Duck-R Stainless Cam is a non-aggressive device and will not damage the rope if used correctly. In the event of an emergency, with the exception of very minor glazing, a correctly used Duck-R will lock onto the backup rope without causing serious damage to itself, the lanyard, the carabiner, or the backup rope. The user is responsible for ensuring that the combination of all parts of the rope access system does not adversely affect the performance of any item, taking into account all precautions for use.

It can be used by connecting it to the waist attachment point of your harness using a dynamic rope cow's tail. It is recommended to connect the device to the waist attachment point within a length of 80 cm (including knots and connectors).

During work, the Duck-R must be managed to maintain an FF1 or lower, and it is recommended to keep it as high as possible.
