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.

Easy of use, good maintenance support from bd, easy to repair. Every other can in the market gets compared to this. C4s are still the reference

BD makes the best cams for trad!
I recently got a whole set of BD c4 cams and have loved them! I have a couple sets of other brands and seem to have the best of luck setting these C4s. Would definitely recommend!

Camalot C4
The black Diamond Camalot is my favorite camming device for protecting traditional rock climbs. I am interested on climbing in Yosemite where this device can be useful.

Sold my Ultralights for this.
The Ultralights are excellent cams. But with my recent entry into family life I'm not getting out much and the lifespan of the Ultralights didn't make sense anymore. Honestly the C4 lineup isn't that much heavier. Especially when incsider where they came from when I started climbing 35 years ago. The new C4 lineup is dreamy.

Goldilocks Cam
Love the balance and feel. As sturdy as it needs to be without adding a lot of extra weight.
