Why We Like The Black Diamond Camalot C4
Lighter and more convenient than ever before, the Black Diamond Camalot C4 brings the muscle without the heft. Coming in 10% lighter than its predecessor, this iteration saves grams without losing strength and maintains the same camming angle and placement ranges we have come to depend on. Giving the larger sizes stiffer stems, Black Diamond has uniformed flex across the line, so the 6 no longer feels wobblier than the 0.3.

The cams are praised for their exceptional quality, durability, and performance. They are considered the industry standard, with a smooth trigger action, stable lobes, and lightweight yet robust construction. The larger sizes are popular due to the trigger keeper feature, making them more compact and easier to rack.

Camelot C4s
I love these cams so much and they are the gold standard. I have yet to find protection from any company that out-classes any cams from size #1 and up in the C4 family. The smaller sizes are great too but I do prefer Z4's from 0. 5 and under. Overall great cam that out competes everything else in price and quality.

Good ol #3
After a buddy got my old #3 stuck, I bought a new one. I got the new one stuck like the 4th pitch it had ever been on, got stuck in a ridge on a thunderstorm, lost on the rappel, lost on the descent, and back to the dorm at 10 p. m. to do homework for class the next day. Karma for losing such a quality piece of gear, I guess. It does what it has to do.

The big sizes, 4 and
The big sizes, 4 and above, are better than other brands due to the lobe holders, and they walk a lot better when you want to push the cam above you in wide cracks. Other brands could be preferable in the smaller sizes due to weight and extendable slings.

Camalot #5
I have a full rack of Camalots and the #5 is everything I needed for the larger cracks and the extra slots on stem for retracting during racking is really nice.

Best and Most Verstile Cams
Definitely the best and most versatile cams out there with great durability. The opening action on the cams is really nice compared to other brands and the sling/cam are quite durable in my experience. They’re not the lightest but definitely longer lasting than the BD ultralight.

The standard when it comes to cams! Great for all-around trad climbing. Love the new stiffer stem. Feels secure when falling, cam is both sturdy and lightweight
