Why We Like The Offset Zero Friend Cam Set
To fill in that smaller range in our rack, we look to the Offset Zero Friend Cam Set, the micro-offset edition of the iconic Friend. With one of the narrowest heads on the market made with a softer alloy than their bigger siblings, these specialized pieces of pro offer a confidence-boosting bite in tiny pin scars and shallow grooves.

Don't forget your friends!
These offset cams are super light and stick really well in most small crevices. Cons: pricey and appear to be more fragile than the regular friends. I have one spring that gets stuck when retracted fully. Just have to be more vigilant that it closes properly when placed or it could be disastrous. Hoping it could be a simple manufacturer defect. Not a deal breaker but will update and reach out to Wild Country if the problem gets worse.
