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.

  • Size 000 = 7.8 - 12.9mm / 4kN / 55g
  • Size 00 = 9.0 - 13.7mm / 6kN / 57g
  • Size 0 = 10.7 - 15.8mm / 7kN / 59g
  • Size 1 = 12.0 - 18.8mm / 10kN / 62g
  • Size 2 = 14.2 - 22.6mm / 10kN / 66g
Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico

Imported.

      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.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      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.
