Amazing desing
I had the X4 cams and compared to them, these work way better when re-locating them in the crag!

Amazing new piece
Never really used offset cams but not that I have I’m hooked, especially for small cracks. Flares are more secure to protect and I’m amazed at how often I see perfect placements now. Great addition to the rack.

Parallel Universe
There has never been a parallel universe that has been found, and if you climb enough, you’ll find that alot of cracks are not perfectly parallel. Critical pieces when cracks get crazy. Get some!

Excellent cams
Z4s and Z4 offsets are my favorite cams I've used so far, smooth trigger pull, flexible once placed, and not bulky on the rack, I only wish BD had striped carabiners to match the offset colors to make them easier to find quickly on the harness

Z4: The Best got Better
Narrower heads than the C4 enable more/deeper placements. Stem stays rigid when placing, and then appropriately flexes. The offsets were exactly what I was looking for to protect pin scars and flares. Amazing how much better the cams engage when compared to a comparable C4. The confidence I'm looking for on hard trad projects!

Broken Trigger Wires
When I first purchased my Z4 set 2 years ago I loved them. They slot in everything and are solid. Since then I've had to replace FIVE trigger wires & my confidence in BD's build quality has dropped. I've never had to replace a trigger wire on my metolious cams, or my older style BD's (though my #3 is ready for one). I will no longer be buying BD products, they've gone downhill!
