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 »

Black Diamond Camalot C4 Review

Worth the money

★★★★★
5.0

    Pros

  • Dual axle
  • Lightweight
  • Rugged

    Cons

  • Scuffs Easily

    Best Uses

  • Trad is rad
 

"These are the best cams on the market hands down. Double axle and color matched to your BD nuts (i.e. the red nut is roughly the same size as the red cam). More sizes would be nice, though. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Black Diamond Camalot C4 Review

It's good to be small

★★★★★
5.0

    Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Rugged
  • Smooth trigger

    Cons

  • None

    Best Uses

  • Long Climbs
  • Outdoor
  • Sprint Climbs
 

"Great for use in fingertip size placements, I doubled up my Metolius yellow/blue TCUs with these. Walking a little less likely with four cams, dual axles add redundancy and feel solid when placed. I would pick these over Aliens for the smoother , longer trigger. Makes removing them a lot easier! "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Fantastic product, much improved now they are lighter. Easy to place, each cam covers larger size range when compared to other makes. I found it quicker to place these and as a result hung around less when placing gear. "
