Camalot Z4

Black Diamond continues to lead the charge on innovating camming devices. First there was the original Camalot, which still continues to be regarded as the gold standard of camming devices everywhere, and then they started lightening things up with the C3, X4, and current Ultralight models. Now, the Camalot Z4 replaces the X4 as Black Diamond's most technically advanced camming device specialized for smaller cracks like the splitters in Indian Creek, or even if you're going light and fast in the Bugaboos. Black Diamond designed the Z4 range of Camalots with BD's top trad athletes to ensure everything any climber could ever want in a cam. Finally, climbers can now squeeze a single-stemmed camming device without the stem bending over, and not just that, every different size has the same flex for a consistent performance. The heads are narrower than previous Camalots as well, and they're easier to place and clean in tighter constrictions. Black Diamond sandblasted the lobes for better holding power, and added a new Dynex sling with a unique colorway that's easier to pick out in a rack full of older Camalots.

Great cams for smaller sizes

I like the Z4s in the smaller sizes. They are an improvement on the X4.

The flexing stem is a great update

These cams place well but have some flex once inserted. Another clever innovation by Black Diamond.

Perfect head width

Always hated the C4’s .3 & .4 head width. They’re so hard to fit on anything other than sandstone splitters. The Z4s are perfect cause they are much more likely to actually fit in varying sized cracks.

awesome length

one of the things that is a stand out for me is the length pf the Z4's. It gives you a wider range to find the best placement for your gear. That also helps a lot as a follower for retrievability. That extra inch or so allows for easier placement and retrieval.
