Kong GIGI - belaying a leader

Hello,

I was wondering why it isn't possible to belay a leader with a Kong GIGI? The CAMP Ovo (which looks exactly the same) can be used to belay a leader, at least it says so in it's manual; http://www.camp-usa.com/products/produc ... MP-Ovo.pdf.

Thanks in advance!
Grtz, Bart

Thanks for the info Sergio!

It seems that the slots in the gigi are longer than eg. the Camp Ovo, causing a loss in friction.
