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)

Top cams
By SmudgerVerified Reviewer from UK on 11/14/2006
Sizing:
Perfect
Pros:
Cover multiple sizes, Lightweight
Cons:
None
Best Uses:
Allow fast placement, Great for grit

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.

BOMBER
By Patrick the wannabe crack climberVerified Buyer from Kentucky on 8/7/2006
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!

Good Partners don't partner w/o C4's
By LextalionVerified Reviewer from Las Vegas NV & Sonoma CA on 3/29/2006
Pros:
Quick to open, Simple, The Standard to compare all other cams
Best Uses:
Outdoor climbing

Comments about Black Diamond Camalot C4:

I've had partners whom won't climb with anything other than camalots and really prefer to climb with the c4's.

Finally got a full set from .3 - 6 with a couple of doubles already in several sizes.

I love the fact that I can build a rack to a route using c4's as the base while supplementing other cams in to ensure good protection on route.
