It may be configured as a 4:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage system. The device is also ideal for creating adjustable directionals, work positioning and much more. The Wingman has a minimum overall length of just 8” which means more clearance under a tripod and more throw during a pick-off. Under full load even with the sheaves pulled completely together, the system may be released quite easily-with full control using one hand on the wing and the other tending the line. While our book selection reflects the leading authorities and most popular texts, as with all publications, recent developments in equipment and practices may not be included.Wingman combines a ratcheting sheave to stop the rope with a composite handle or wing the operator can open and close under load for a well-modulated ‘fine-tuned’ release.
