Dynafit Vertical vs Dynafit Speed....Help??

Skykilo, thanks for the input. Your certainly have the experience. Never thought of putting the ski up the fall line. I assume you need to have brakes  to do that and how steep  a slope have you used that technique on?

I use neither brakes nor leashes. Just get in there right the first time. I use it on any slope where the surface is hard enough to make a platform impractical. It doesn't really matter how steep the slope is or isn't; just try it in a place without much consequence..

I use neither brakes nor leashes.

A couple weekends ago I was using some new boots (used Dynafit TLT4) when I realized that because I had drilled out the teeny weeny lower buckle, I no longer had an attachment point for my custom leash.
I at first I was a bit nervous, but then when I thought about how I now have over a million vertical feet on Dynafits without a prelease, then no problem.
However, although I removed the clip from the end of my custom leash (made from 3mm accessory cord), I still kept the leash attached to the binding toe piece -- nice to have a little something to hold onto besides the binding itself.

I find that Dynafits are even easier for this.
Put the binding in tour mode, with no heel elevator.
Align boot heel with binding heel, then click into toe, which requires almost zero force (hence the ease of entry).
Now put toe lever in tour mode, rotate heel, step down, and put toe lever back in ski mode.
This does take a few extra seconds, but once you're used it, very easy.

I tried this today and I have to admit Mr.S that it works a treat. No fiddling, just put your heel against the back and toes are lined up exactly.No more tippy-toe fiddling for me.
thanks.

Scotsman. I hold the ski with one hand - put the toe in then ratchet up the tour lever. The other hand usually has a pole. The other pole and ski are usually rammed into the snow like pickets so they don't take off for a wander of their own.

Repeat with other ski.

I use brakes also but this works on brakeless skis.
