Maximize on the versatility of your active pro with the reliable Black Diamond Camalot C4s that have a much larger expansion range because of their double-axle design that also provides additional loading strength. While you rely on their exceptional strength, you'll appreciate the lighter weight and easy to manipulate cable loop, trigger, and slings.

  • Place it without slipping thanks to the large, textured thumb catch and trigger bar give slip-free placement
  • Operate with insulated gloves, the thumb hole is large enough and the ergonomically shaped trigger bars operate easily
  • Get a wide range of placement options with the double-axle design that provides a large expansion range
  • Stem construction is long and flexible to prevent walking and continuous cable design offers strength and flexibility; a continuous loop allows clipping in short
  • Pick out the right cam on the first grab by quickly identifying the color-coded heads and slings
  • Range (mm): 13.8-23.4 (.3); 15.5-26.6 (.4); 19.6-33.3 (.5); 24.1-40.9 (.75); 30.2-52.1 (1); 37.3-64.3 (2); 50.8-87.4 (3); 66-114.3 (4); 85.6-148.1 (5); 114.3-194.6 (6)
    • Weight (g): 71 (.3); 82 (.4); 97 (.5); 116 (.75); 134 (1); 158 (2); 201 (3); 278 (4); 381 (5); 557 (6)
      • Strength (kN): 8 (.3); 10 (.4); 12 (.5); 14 (.75); 14 (1); 14 (2); 14 (3); 14 (4); 14 (5); 14 (6)

Simply the Best

"Black Diamond C4 Camalots are simply the best cams out there. Specifically sizes 0.75 - 3 are undisputed bests. People quibble over the larger sizes (especially the number 6) as to whether Black Diamond or Wild Country makes the best large cam. As far as the small sizes are concerned, I don't like them. The heads are too wide to fit into many small placements. I feel this is the major drawback to the double..." Read Full Review »

Black Diamond starts to make C4 in China

"I got a set of C4 from #0.4 to #3 recently. Surprisingly, three of them, #.75, #1 and #2, were made in China. Moreover, one of the lobes on #2 would not extend to full open. I emailed Black Diamond and got this back. "C4s are being manufactured in both Salt Lake City and China right now. Note: Our facility in China is a BLACK DIAMOND staffed and operated manufacturing facility, not an outsourced vendor." What a ..." Read Full Review »
