Here's what customers have to say
Here is the refined product review summary: The Z4 cams offer a narrower profile, lighter weight, and flexible stem compared to the previous model, allowing placement in tighter cracks. The smaller sizes (0.3-0.75) are particularly well-regarded for their excellent range and secure placements, even in horizontal cracks. Climbers report feeling safe and confident when using the Z4, with the flexible stem providing reliable performance. While a few noted stickiness in the smallest sizes, the overall consensus is that the Z4 cams are a durable and high-quality addition to any trad rack.

Flexibilidad y fijación
Gran flexibilidad y fijación. La flexibilidad de la pieza minimiza el desplazamiento dentro de la grieta, ya sea que avance al interior o se salga por el movimiento de la cuerda. El único inconveniente es su reducción de resistencia comparada con el C4.

Camalot Z4s
I love these cams because of their rigid feel while placing them, but how they still flex especially in horizontal crack systems. I haven't had issues with them walking either. Grate purchase and would 100% recommend for anyone trying to grow or start their rack.

These are my favorite cams
These are my favorite cams to bring when just using a single rack. Their flexibility is incredible, but the stiffness when putting them in and taking them out is what makes them better than similar cams from other brands. In the smallest few sizes, it can be hard to pull the triggers all the way to fit them into tight placements, but generally I don't have an issue.

Smooth and flexible
For the 0. 3 - 0. 75 range, these are my go-to. Again an extendable sling would make these ideal.

Micro cam
Differently feel better racking up with a Z4's on me. The . 2 and . 1 have a knack in fitting in places nut can't.

Piece of mind
When your gripped, about to whip and just need to get a piece in your finger crack project, reach for the Z4 0. 4. Once the rope is clipped, you can get back to climbing with confidence.

Quality
I purchased these a few months ago. It’s hard to describe how well built these feel, but they feel incredibly sturdy and are some of my favorite gear I own.

Best cam period.
I always come back to these, they're the most satisfying to place, easiest to place, and confidence inspiring Cam I own, and I own lots. (0. 3-0. 75 sizes are unbeatable. the single axle ones are a bit mushy, but despite that have good range and I still like them more than other brands' microcams)
