Why We Like The DMM Dragon Cam Set
DMM's Dragon Cam is fiercer, stronger, and grippier than ever before. The biggest update for the new model is without a doubt the teeth, which are redesigned to net more friction on any rock. DMM studied the slipperiest rocks in order to determine the best grip, and the results are sharper teeth, increased surface area, and a raw Alu finish. The teeth's surface area tapers off right at the sweet spot to help us easily find the best placement in any given crack.
Other updates to the Dragon Cam that stood out to us include improved torsional rigidity, better ergonomics, and of course, a lower weight. Better torsional rigidity means the stem is less flexible for more security while you're placing it in horizontals. The new thumb press helps your second clean easier, and the extendable Dynatec sling sheds weight without decreasing strength. DMM kept the single stem and double axle design for a perfect passive placement.

Yeah, but I've got Dragons
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Love everything about these. If you can't afford a rack of totems, these are the next best option. Plus it's just cool showing up at the crag and saying, "I'm bringing my dragons."

These just might be my favorite cams
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I think it's fair to say that these are the best cams I have ever had the privilege of using. Me and some friends borrow some for a desert trip, and they did not disappoint. They are grippy and smooth, and bomber. Not mention the extendable sling, which rocks, and the lack of a thumb loop. I know some people dont like it, but I really enjoy not having a thumb loop.
