Product Details
Description:
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 on each cam.

Features:

  • 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

Specifications:

  • 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)

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Black Diamond Camalot C4:

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 axle design on micro cams. I also still think the C3's need some work. The workhorse sizes (0.75-4) are simply great though. With the double axle design they have a greater expansion range than single axle cams. BD completely eliminated a cam in this revision by creating cams that overlap efficiently. This saves weight on the rack for sure.

In short, if I were to have the ultimate cam rack sized micro through large I would personally have a set of Aliens to cover the small range (get 'em pull tested), then BDs 0.75 - 6.

Sizing:
Perfect
Pros:
Cover multiple sizes, Lightweight
Cons:
None

Comments about Black Diamond Camalot C4:

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.

You'll regret buying anything else
By MVerified Buyer from Vancouver, BC on 8/18/2006

Comments about Black Diamond Camalot C4:

Once upon a time you had to choose between Friends (lighter, cheaper, but smaller range) and Camalots (heavier, more expensive, but larger range, so you didn't need as many).

But now they are the same price and weight, give or take, and the camalots simply work better. The range numbers don't tell the whole story, cams simply fit better into more cracks than friends. So for normal sizes there's no reason to buy anything else.

For very small sizes I don't know, C3 vs Aliens vs Zeroes... it's less clear.

#6 C4 made my day
By IdahoBobVerified Buyer from McCall, Idaho on 8/17/2006
Pros:
Big crack machine
Cons:
Bulky
Best Uses:
huge cracks

Comments about Black Diamond Camalot C4:

Used my new C4 #6 on long multipitch today. One of the belay stations would have been really sketchy without it. But it is really too big to carry on harness, much better in a pack.

Pros:
Lightweight, Rugged, These babies are tough
Best Uses:
Alpine, Bad Weather, Longer Climbs, Mountaineering, Weekend Climbs

Comments about Black Diamond Camalot C4:

C4's are wonderful! I am a newbie crack climber and traddie and needed some good cams and nuts to take some abuse and these sure stand up to that demand! I have not fallen on the .4 yet but I am sure I will. I feel completely conformtable that my c4's will hold even in the sandstone I routinely climb on!
