Black Diamond Camalot C4 Package #0.5 - 3

 Brand : Black Diamond
Item : BLD0918
Incredible expansion range and low weight make the Black Diamond Camalot C4 Package a perfect way to start off any trad rack or beef up an old one. These five cams (size 0.5-3) cover all the bases from fingers to fists. Their thumbhole loop, wide trigger, and large expansion make the Camalot C4s easy to place when you need to fire in gear from a greasy finger stack. Their double-axle design also allows them to be placed as passive protection when nothing else is available. Rack your nice new cams right next to your trusty Stoppers. You'll be happy that you have them in about 40 feet.

Black Diamond Camalot C4 Package #0.5 - 3



BDC4 = good
This camming system truly reflects the thousands of hours and dollars that BD has spent on research/testing. Amazing weight, range, and their new slings are super sweet. So good it hurts.


Great package for your first cams
It is hard to beat Black Diamond when it comes to cam designs. This is a great package. If you are looking to get your set first cams, round out your current rack, or double up on the most used sizes, I recommend this package. Along with getting the best cams (IMHO) you get the quality and reputation of Black Diamond.


Best Selection
This is the best all around selection for cams. You get all the "essential" sizes with this package. Plus there is nothing like the Black Diamond cam! I have had this set for years, but a friend of mine went climbing with us this past weekend and did his first trad lead. He used all of these and over-cammed most of them (still learning) and they still worked phenomenally. And I could still clean them! No doubt, a perfect purchase!


Excellent rack filler
I have sets of Friends, Metolius ultralights and a few smaller C3's and wanted to fill out my rack with a modern set, and the .5-3 C4 combo pack was perfect. The smaller C4's are about as useful as you could ask for, beautifully made and possessing the largest range of any conventional cams I know of, however, even the size 3 has a tendency to walk a little more than I like. They can be placed with good stability but it takes a little more futzing than with Friends or the Metolius cams....don't know why unless it's the double pivot design which is responsible for the wider range. At any rate, these are top notch and recommended highly up to size 2. Above size 2 they are still usefull but I think there might be better choices in larger cams.


Rack Backbone
Black Diamond C4's are the standard backbone of my (and many other climber's) rack for good reason. Black Diamond's offer wider range than single stem cams but are much more predictable and stable than other double stem or link cams. The downside is that they are heavier than single stem cams. I also bought the #4 cam, but don't place it that often.
