Pivot/Phantom HMS Set Matt Grey
Adaptable. Efficient. Field-Proven.
Originally born in the mountains, the DMM Pivot is a guide-grade belay device trusted by climbers across the globe—and now it finds a new home in the saddle hunting community. When paired with a robust HMS carabiner, this system offers unmatched versatility for one-stick and SRT climbing techniques.
Whether you're ascending a single line with confidence, hauling your gear with mechanical advantage, or controlling a smooth rappel from 20 feet up a poplar, the Pivot delivers smooth rope handling and dependable auto-locking performance in guide mode. Its unique pivoting design makes lowering under load safer and more controlled—ideal when transitioning from climb to hunt or managing gear in a high-angle tree setup.
This kit includes the Pivot and DMM’s Phantom HMS carabiner, but it's also perfectly matched with either the Phantom (lightweight and compact) or Shadow (full-size and gloved-hand friendly) locking carabiners—sold separately or as an upgrade option.
Why saddle hunters choose the Pivot:
Acts as a friction device for one-stick or SRT climbing setups
Can serve as a progress capture tool or emergency ascender
Provides smooth, reliable control while lowering or rappelling
Built to handle static ropes like Oplux or Canyon Elite
Works with foot loops, prusiks, and hauling systems
Specs:
Rope Compatibility: 7.5mm – 11mm
Weight: 72g (device only)
Material: Hot-forged aluminum
Recommended Carabiners: DMM HMS (included), Phantom or Shadow Locks (optional upgrade)
From vertical granite to hardwood trees, the Pivot does what other devices can’t— and that’s why it belongs in your saddle system.
