ISC Rocker
The ISC Rocker is a mid-line attachable device, which can be used hands-free as a self-tailing device when traveling up or down the rope. The Rocker is also fitted with a thumbcatch which can be engaged in order to park the device on the rope.

The Rocker is designed for use WITHOUT (and should be used without) a textile shock absorber. ALWAYS read the User Instruction Manual prior to use.

Solid piece of kit
I’ve had this for a few years now. I like it’s small footprint. There are many ways to use the ISC Rocker and it is gentle on the rope. Make sure you read the manufacturers specifications when it comes to adding an extended tether to it as a trailing device or using it as a connection point to stay on rope when coming off your primary.
really neat piece of gear
Great as a trailing backup, attaches quickly. its nice that it has the parking break on it so you can set it if you need to and not worry about it sliding down. The ISC Rocker is also great for rescue scenarios since its a 2 person load capacity. can be worn on the termination end of a lanyard for use and a 2 in 1 lanyard or stored on the saddle in case you need to stay online while moving your primary through a crotch. I'm still learning ways this can be used but love having it around.
