Top roping with the mini works, and I believe is even mentioned in the pamphlet that comes with it (http://en.petzl.com/...itrax_P07600-F_W.pdf page 3, diagram 4). I wouldn't do it with the pro, specifically due to the swing sides (the pro's pamphlet does not mention self belay, and I think this is why).
Better yet, use the gri-gri with your backpack weighing down the loose end. Unlike the traxions, you can readily rap off at any point without having to figure out how to unweight he rope, or having to rig a second device. I recommend using a maillion rapide quick link as your biner to prevent crass loading fears.
