The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

The new Black Diamond® Camalot™ C3 cams feature an interlocking cam design for greater placement versatility and reliability.

Explore a new world of placement possibilities with the revolutionary, patent-pending interlocking cam design, even fitting tight pin scars with ease
Uses up to 30% less head width than other three-cam units, fitting in a far greater number of places more securely
Independently driven by patent-pending compression drive springs for increased holding force in tough placements
Huge cam stops prevent over-rotation and offer ample passive umbrella strength like the double-axle models
Easy-to-place ribbed trigger and thumb rest improve handling when arms are pumped
C3 cam's stem design is ID-colored and offers superb flexibility and strength--laterally stiff for tight placements and soft over edges
Stainless-steel cables are flexible to disperse loads more evenly, minimizing deformation and making cam units inherently stronger
Color-coded nylon slings coincide with stem for easy identification

Made in 5 sizes; see specifications listed below for size = range / strength / weight / color:

Size 000 = 7.8 - 12.9mm / 4kN / 55g / gray

Comments about Black Diamond Camalot C3 Cams:

When it comes to small cams, I really prefer my C3's. Yes the aliens have a little smoother action and a little more bite, but their head is MUCH wider and that soft metal wears away much quicker (and I just don't trust them anymore). The master cams are solid and very comparable, but I much prefer the built-in trigger wires of the C3s to those Kevlar trigger cords the master cams uses. Downside: they're expensive

Comments about Black Diamond Camalot C3 Cams:

The C3 cams are great. They're easy to place and have a strong camming action. The only reason I would not give them 5 stars is they are prone to getting wedged in deep placements. The tapered stem can make it difficult to remove. That being said, I would trust falling on them more than any other small cam.

Comments about Black Diamond Camalot C3 Cams:

This is my favorite piece of pro to place. I love how you can place it in a horizontal crack. I just wish that they didn't cost so much so i could aford the entire set, but they are worth every penny and worth saving for.
