Can the anti-panic feature be disabled without altering the device?

Its built into the device design, no way to disable it.

Does it work with dynamic and static rope? Does it work better with one one of them?

According to Petzl, the GRIGRI+ is Compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm Dynamic single ropes and optimized for those 8.9 to 10.5 mm.

I'm a beginner climber interested in climbing for long-term. should i get the grigri or the grigri+?

The nice thing about the Plus is that it has a safety feature where it locks if the belayer freaks out, and lowers too quickly. My 58 pound, 12 year old daughter belays me on a Plus, because it reminds her to pay out rope slowly, otherwise, the lock kicks in, and she has to reset. Once you get used to it, you can disable the feature by turning a knob. At that point, the action is identical to a standard GriGri. I think it's nice to have a Plus in your toolkit, for "less than expert" climbing partners to use. It prevents them from lowering too quickly, which is peace of mind for the climber. If you can get it for $10 more, then it's worth that.

What is really the color? The picture shows purple but the description says gray. Thank you.

per il momento 5 stelle

ho voluto provare il grigri di nuova concezione anche se il mio vecchio, della prima serie, continua a funzionare egregiamente. ho scelto il plus perché mi pare abbiano fatto un lavoro improntato alla sicurezza (che non è mai abbastanza). ha delle funzioni aggiuntive come il meccanismo anti-panico sulla leva di calata, un selettore di rigidità della camma a due posizioni e un rinforzo nella zona di maggior sfregamento della corda. il range di utilizzo delle corde è leggermente aumentato. mi resta il dubbio che possa diventare troppo complesso nell'utilizzo. spero di essere contraddetto dalla prova sul campo. per il momento 5 stelle sulla fiducia…

Excellent device from Petzel as always

I use this device for saddle hunting and I love it. I run a lineman rope and sticks to get started up the tree. Then I combined the grigi with a sterling’s rock n rescue 9mm rope to set my tether with prusik tender. I can move anywhere up or down. If I need to make a quick exit no problem.
