Taz Lov 2 used for solo lead climbing

Hi, do anyone use Taz Lov 2 for solo lead climbing? I think it is similar to grigri which used for solo lead climbing, but I haven't try it. 

Please share the experience if you try it befor.

The price would steer me away, if I wanted to add a progress capture that could rappel to my top rope solo setup, it would be a gri gri

There's a photo on here somewhere of Sigrips setup of a Lov2 for LRS. I do it like this, with swivel on the attachment point and a pulley on my chest rig. The build quality is exceptional. I believe Taz are very committed company. It's a French company and I wish their translations were better. So, in short, it's currently the most suitable device IMO. Remember, the device is only a part of LRS, you need to get all of the systemic elements dialed in.

Anyone buying a Taz Lov device right now will have the option of a Lov2 and Lov3. The Lov3 offers some new convenience with how it is attaches, but at the cost of robustness. That's a problem for my. In TRS you can add layers of redundancy with an additional device, a second rope, backup knots etc., but in LRS the second rope and a second device are not tenable. For that reason, the Lov2 wins due to its robustness YMMV.

Would be really thankful to see what the setup is for LRS with the Taz Lov. Thank you.

Can you Noel post a picture of the setup with the Taz please? 

Yes, I use a taz Lov 2 with a Revo backup and it's awesome. Can't recommend it enough. 

Looks like there's a lot of people thinking about solo climbing today!

Where have you all bought the Lov2/3? Seems like none of the usual US-centric gear shops carry it. I can find it on a few different sites but I have no idea how legit they are.

Got my lov2 from treestuff.com but I only see 3 on their website now
