Black Diamond Camalot Z4

The Camalot Z4's RigidFlex stem and narrow head width unlock placements standard cams simply can't reach

The Black Diamond Camalot Z4 is built for the crack sizes where head width and stem behavior decide whether a placement is bomber or sketchy. In pin scars, flared tips, and horizontal breaks, the narrow C3-derived head profile and independently floating trigger wires work together: the head enters constrictions a standard Camalot can't reach, and the stem holds its line under trigger tension so the placement goes exactly where it needs to go. The double-axle design from size .3 up widens each unit's individual placement range so the right cam is already on the harness.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The RigidFlex stem is what separates this from other small cams. The stem stays stiff while I'm placing it so I can actually steer the head into a tight constriction, then flexes once it's loaded to reduce walking in horizontals."
