CAMP | Druid - Descender | Saferight Training Academy

Description

The CAMP Druid Descender (Ref. 2232) is a compact, auto-braking descender designed for rope access technicians and rescue operators who need reliable control on the rope. Weighing just 280g, it delivers professional-grade braking performance without the bulk — and it’s built to take the wear and tear of daily site use.

At the heart of the CAMP Druid Descender is its patent-pending anti-panic system. If the lowering lever is pulled too quickly or held too far open, the mechanism automatically disengages and re-engages the cam — stopping the descent before it becomes unmanageable. It’s the kind of safety margin that matters most on low-friction descents and top-down work.

Compatible ropes: For EN 341/2A use, pair the CAMP Druid Descender with CAMP Lithium 11mm (Ref. 2240) or CAMP Iridium 11mm (Ref. 2811) rope.

Rope access and rescue equipment must only be used by trained, competent operators. Rescue use up to 200kg is for expert users only. Always read the manufacturer’s instructions before use.

Key Features

Back Flange: hot forged aeronautic grade aluminum alloy for high strength and resistance to wear-and tear.
Front Flange: hot forged aeronautic grade aluminum alloy with markings to indicate the proper direction for inserting the rope.
Attachment Hole: large diameter allows for complete rotation of a locking carabiner. The carabiner cannot be attached unless
the device is completely closed.
Lowering Lever: hot forged aeronautic grade aluminum alloy and precision cast stainless steel with an ergonomic shape and
double hinge for good leverage and control when lowering.
Fixed Cam: precision cast stainless steel for high strength and resistance to wear and tear. Also serves as a rope guide when
lowering to limit contact between the rope and the aluminum side walls.
Mobile Cam: precision cast stainless steel with proprietary geometry that allows the cam to rotate into place alongside the rope.
This makes the action very rope-friendly.
Cam Trigger: the small flange on the bottom of the Mobile Cam can be used to momentarily hold the cam open for paying out
slack or to initiate a descent when there is a lot of friction.
Anti-Panic: a proprietary mechanical system that will cause the lever to automatically disengage and cause the cam to
automatically reengage if it is opened too quickly, or if it is kept too far open where the speed of the descent can become
unmanageable.
Rivets: Precision CNC stainless steel. The large diameter and precision pressing ensure exceptional strength and performance
over the life of the device.
Hole: To insert a cord for securing the device, preventing it from falling.

Materials & Construction

Mechanical parts are made of precision-cast stainless steel.
The internal mechanism and locking cam use a innovative design for smooth action on the rope which prevents rapid wea rand-tear and absorbs energy from small shocks with a slight amount of rope slippage.
The fluid action on the rope also allows the Druid to function well for rope ascent.
The cam can be de-activated with a trigger to allow quick sliding of the rope in situations with no load or limited load.
Steel ring for attaching a keeper cord.
