It works, but......

This does the trick, however, it tends to be a bit tougher to handle a rope above 10mm with this over other belay devices I have used, especially when feeding out rope to a leader. This has not an issue on the same ropes for me with a reverso 3. Still a great belay device for everything (nice design on the top belay for a seconding climber), but when using a fatter rope, just be aware it may not be as smooth as you hope.
