Summary:
Tried out my first 3 cam unit this weekend on Squamish granite. I was a bit hesitant about the 3 cams vs 4 cams but it worked like a dream on a fairly shallow crack. Really like the DMM product for finish and price point. Climbing mag unfairly penalized these product in its recent review for the trigger walking up the cables. Isn't generally a factor. Like the anodizing and the use of spectra extendible slings.
I'll buy more.

Summary:
I bought 2 DMM TCUs to fill gaps in the Clog range. Clog are similar to WC Tech Friends but do not have 1.25 and 1.75.
DMM have a superb product. These Cams have a two-stem design (like Metolius) with colored; Cams, trigger bar, and sling for easy identification. Metal trigger bar feels so much more durable than the plastic used by others. The bar can be used with 1 finger inside, or two outside the stems.
Every aspect of the finish shows attention to detail. These deserve the 5 star overall rating.

The price was great as Northern Mountain was just adding them to their line and was offering a members special.

Customer Service:
Always had good experience with Northern Mountain.
In multiple orders there has been one order mistake and they really outdid themselves to be user friendly.
