For those (like me) who already have the old Connect Adjust, skip forward to 9:30 for the actual changes made in the new version.
(Otherwise you'll have to watch through 9:30 mins of how to thread a lower-off safely).
The changes do seem to address the only two issues I had with the old version - I'm quite tempted to upgrade.
That's all anyone needs to know !! :-)
The new Petzl Connect Adjust has a sleeker, more durable adjuster that's easier to use one-handed. Function is similar, but the update improves handling and wear resistance.
