From Moosejaw:
"Black Diamond ATC-Guide Belay Device (Fall 2009) The ATC-Guide Belay Device by Black Diamond offers maximum versatility. It has a smooth, regular friction side and, for twice the friction, a grooved side. When you're belaying from above, the "guide mode" lets you bring up one or two seconding climbers with ease and control. For lowering, it has a small secondary hole that you can girth hitch for more leverage to release the device.Weight: 102 g (3.6 oz)"
From RockCreek:
"The Black Diamond ATC Guide is a full function belay device with dual frictions belay and rappel modes and a Guide Mode for belaying one or two seconding climbers. In Guide Mode it locks if someone falls, plus you can lower a climber regardless of weight difference between climber and belayer, because of a unique release point built in to the unit."
From Campmor:
"Regular Friction Mode for normal climbing and rappelling High Friction Mode provides two times more friction for greater control and holding power In Guide Mode it locks if someone falls & has lowering capabilities Unique release point built into the unit Weight: 3.6oz."
From Backcountry.com:
"The self-locking capability of the Black Diamond ATC Guide belay device makes it an excellent choice when you cast off on multi-pitch trad, ice, and alpine climbs. The ATC Guide-winner of the Climbing Magazine Editor's Choice Award-belays a leader just like any other tube-style device, but it can also be connected directly to your anchor to create a self-locking system when you're belaying one or two following climbers. This allows you to eat, drink, tie your shoes, and take pictures as you belay with confidence that your partners are completely safe. Its unique release point lets you lower a following climber when the ATC Guide is in self-locking mode, even if he's way heavier than you. The aggressive V-notch allows this belay device to work on ropes from 7.7 to 11mm-even when they're icy."

The single connection point is easier to use and more stable than the B-52, and the thick aluminum lasts longer than the thin material of the Reverso."
