Description
Build your rack right.
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. The new Camalots are so dialed that two half-sizes were eliminated because the new increased expansion range deemed them obsolete. In addition to providing this increased range, the double-axle design makes these cams full strength even when placed passively. With all these advances, Black Diamond still managed to decrease weight by 30%, because no one likes weight.
- Double-axle design for extra-large expansion range
- Double-axle design works as cam stops to increase strength of tipped-out placements
- Large thumb loop provides a clip-in point for aid climbers
- These are 30% lighter than previous Camalots
- Color-coded for quick identification
- Includes five sizes from .05 to 3 (loose fingers to fists)
- Click sizing chart link for range, strength, and weight info

This is the second set I get. I've been taking with me nuts and rockcentrics for many years and these camalots allow you to get way more flexibility and security for less weight.

BD makes great cams and you can't go wrong with any of their sizes. Been using them for over ten years and they stand up to all the abuse you can give them.

I love these cams. I find their action to be smoother than the Metolius Mastercams. The thumb loop is a great update from the old plungers!

The BD Camalots need no introduction. They've been plugged into rock across the globe, solidifying their synonymity with the phrase "Spring-Loaded Camming Device". The dual-axle, four-lobed head of the device allows for fantastic expansion, making it easy to pick the right size every time, even when you're feeling pumped out. The thumb loop really does improve the user-friendlyness of the device, and is a much appreciated feature.
I own camalots and have found no flaws with them. HOWEVER! I wouldn't discourage anyone from checking out DMMs Dragon units. When BD's patent on the single-stem, dual-axle, quad-lobe device ran out, DMM jumped on the bandwagon and produced an equally stellar item. The dragons are lighter than the camalots, they're super durable, and they come with a neat extendable sling. While I've used the extended sling with some success, I often find it frustrating to unclip the carabiner and reclip it through one strand, only to have it extend out as far as a quickdraw would have extended. This aside, the dragons are an extremely attractive substitute for the camalots, and I would strongly encourage checking both products out!
Years of perfect service

I have been slinging gear for nearly 15 years and have tried cams from many a company and I always come back to the Camalots. When the C4s came out I replaced all of my previous generation pieces. For my purposes I use the C4 from .4-6 and use the C3s for the smaller sizes. They have very smooth action and they are really easy to place when you use the thumb loop. The colors are also seared in my brain with respect to specific routes and sizes of cracks all of the country. If I could change anything I would maybe make them a bit lighter but I am not sure how that is accomplished without sacrificing some durability, which I can only speak highly of, year after year.
Awesome cam starter set.

I find these are the most commonly placed sizes, from here you can figure out what you need doubles of or if you need to pick up the larger or smaller sizes. Great quality, durable, easy to place, confidence inspiring. Great starter set to supplement the passive gear in your rack.
BD C4s are dynamite
Andy and Brad Mellotte

These are the bomb. A thing of beauty. A mechanical wonder. Impeccable quality. Nothing quite as comforting as seeing a C4 stuck in your crack as you climb on. This set gives you a good range to start with, or to double up later. At 53 years old I am not emarrassed to say that they make a great place to rest before that otherwise impending screamer. They are much easier to place than toying around with passive pro when you are pumped out and reaching that emotional moment. Not that passive does not have its place. There is nothing more beautiful than a well placed hex camming its way between the crack. Heck, if was not for BDs predecessor Yvon Chouinard inventing the hex, Ray Jardine may not have invented the cam. Not to take anything away from Jardine, but who knows? As far as cams go, look no further.
Excellent!!

Bought this package to show the knights of the round table my shiny new anodized bling. But I was a bit disappointed to find out that my buddy Arthur showed up with some singing scimitar and one-upped everyone in attendance - even the staid Lancelot. That said, I've taken these on several not-so-holy quests throughout the lands of New England and my BD C4s have been as trusty as Sir Bedivere on belay. Whatever your quest, if it involves rock bring these.
