Metolius Master Cam - Great

By Peter Gram February 2, 2009

I bought a few of these cams last year to augment my older set of CCH Aliens. I've only used the blue and orange sizes (#1 and #3) so far, and they are very similar to their predecessor. As before, they have an internal spring which gives them a narrow head width. The action is pretty smooth, but maybe has more resistance than many other cams. The thumb loop is a generous size, and is easy to clip a biner into when aiding. I've been psyched for the kevlar cord in the cam heads, because the thin wire used in Aliens always got bent in weird directions, making the action much worse. My only gripe is the color coding. I think they are matched to the Metolius TCUs instead of the CCH Aliens (which probably makes sense). This gets confusing when having both on the same rack. But if you already have TCUs, then this would be a good feature.
