A Chris Falkenstein photo showing some climber's mini-trax set up. This is how I do self belayed top roping. I got my mini's at about 50 bucks each, on sale.
I have used it for a few hundred pitches now and have a high confidence in the rig. Other climbers, equally or more experienced, have reported some quirks with the use if mini trax devices for this purpose so please don't take my use as an endorsement. You have to figure this out on your own. I don't like the idea of taking top rope drops on solo tr's, myself. I make sure that my top device will engage with virtually no downward drop at all, other than rope stretch. The chest harness rig is what insures this.
