The best camming device money can buy. Period.
Smoothest action of any cam. Smooth as silk. Well made and solid. Cam surfaces are wide for good surface contact. Small sizes are now available as 2-axle Microcamelots (haven't tried them yet). #1 Size is indispensible -- you may want to carry 2!

Nice cams, I agree with all the comments about the larger expansion range (when compared to other types) though I've never placed them as passive pro, seems more like marketing to me but mind you I've never gone out of my way looking for a such a placement.

The Number 3 Camalot (single stem), as with all Camalots, is great. Superior holding power and greater placement range make them my SCLD of choice. Of course, they are expensive.

My only complaint is particular to the #3 Camalot. The trigger wires are always wearing through. I have replaced the trigger wires on my 0.5 once, my 0.75 once, my 2.0 once and my 3.0 four times (none of the other sizes have needed trigger replacement. Design issue?

Customer Service

Black Diamond has excellent customer service by phone, email or internet. They stand behind their products and will fix/replace questionable items.

If given a choice, the piece I want below me before the crux is a no-brainer, go with a camalot. The problem is they are heavy and expensive. All approved SLDC''s are good and strong. I would go with a lighter cam over the camalot.
