I'm not sure if they are 'new' Marc. Ive been using Genisis type clips now for over a year. They come with two 'block' or clip heads if you like options, smaller clips for 600's and below and the larger type like the ones in the above pics for anything larger, but the strap is universal to both.
The reason I'm running with the Genisis clips is that I can buy them from stock locally and I tried all sorts of systems before these ones, but never actually tried the Ramondi ones.
Imo these are very good, they're 1.5mm thick and can go up to 70mm in depth. Just like what you've said about the Ramondi type is the same with these, there's a limit to squeezing the pliers before you snap the strap, but you get to know that very quickly, one criticism would be that the pliers and the strap work like a cable tie would and after a while the teeth on the pliers ware out, but apart from that I can't fault them.

Are they the straps with a curved bottom or flat.

Recently Mark any that I've been getting have had flat bases

I got some from protilers on the net and got curved ones, complained and was told that's all they do now...obviously not.

The curved ones are crap, I have about 5 bags somewhere in the garage. They will never get used.

Tbh on a large format say 1000x500 you can use the curved ones easily

I think they've realised that the flat ones are better and that's their update

I just don't like the curved ones for anything to be honest.

I think they've realised that hence the update, they're more than likely still trying to get rid of existing stock. All in all the Genisis system is still very new, so they're learning

I can only speak of my experience of what the people selling me the gear tell me, so I stand to be corrected

Sorry just re read the posts Mark, do you mean the Genisis levelling system as a whole or the curved bases vs the flat bases?

The flat levelling side of things, their prices are a joke though.

Looks good mate, however I remember a post a few years back about levelling systems/lash clips and a LOT of people saying they would never use them as they were "proper tilers". Ha ha ha. You would struggle to do as good a job on that floor with those tiles without them! I use them in emergency cases like this, worth their weight in diamond blades!
