Product Information
Lightweight
Kilogram for kilogram of working load, BB and RT Orbit Blocks™ are the world’s lightest. To gain peak performance, we engineered out the heavy steel load straps, head post, shackle, full-length fasteners, and cleating accessories. Through extensive research and development, we replaced virtually all metal components with high-tech polymers and fiber equivalents.
The unique orbital design allows the bearing to only be in the active areas of the floating sheave. This minimizes the mass of the inactive return race and hub.
Weight and bulk are further reduced in the different block configurations. The ball bearing single and becket block has a through-sheave becket arrangement. The result? The lowest weight possible.
Multi-sheave blocks have only single intermediate cheeks and an ultra-light and efficient head arrangement. This gives a 30% weight saving advantage over the nearest competitor. Other brands just link together their single blocks. This results in unnecessary double cheeks between each sheave, held together by a heavy steel channel across the top of the block.
Highest working load in its class
The orbital ball-bearing arrangement gives the largest possible bearing race diameter. This maximizes load performance. The proven Ronstan 2-stage bearing system features high compression grade acetal ball bearings and a secondary full-contact bearing. This gives minimum friction across the full working load range.
The floating sheave and bearing system is supported by a fiber-reinforced load frame. The design was computer modeled to be stress optimized. The Dyneema Link is produced from FSE Robline SK75 fiber, which is 10 times stronger and lighter than steel, and provides the final connection from the block to the load point.
Simple and secure attachment
The Dyneema Link is easily fitted and is retained securely by a molded retainer clip. The flexible link can be left with one end attached to the block when fitting - no more lost shackle pins.
The system is compatible with Dyneema Spectra strops, webbing and carbon connection points - much more so than steel loop tops or shackles.
Low profile and compact
The flexible Dyneema Link provides controlled rotation and 0° or 90° orientation. It connects directly to the head of the block rather than to an intermediate head post. This reduces weight and gives the lowest possible profile while allowing full articulation. Beckets have been carefully designed to minimize height.
Fiddle block flexibility
Becket fiddle blocks use a Dyneema® Link attachment for the sheet termination and are suitable for both spliced and unspliced lines. If you need additional purchase, a becket take-off can be simply added to any fiddle block version just by adding a Dyneema® Link.

Looks and works great!
Color: for Kia Carnival 2022-2024
The negative reviews are unfortunate, as I had zero issues with the 2 I bought. Fits the 2024 Kia Carnival SE Prestiges perfectly.

Works well, looks stupid with the logo display
This fits well in the vent frame and I am still able to close my vent. I really like the mount cause it solves a huge problem of where to put my phone securely... but I also hate it as well, because of the ugly logo on the face of it. "Batdiary"? Seriously? If I keep it I will look for a way to get rid of (or cover up) the extremely unattractive logo they selected. It makes it (and my trucks interior) look loke something for a child. I give it 5 stars because it deserves better than the 3.9 it had at the time of posting this. But for the love of everything clean and classy but still needing a mount, get rid of the bat logo!
