Comments about Metolius Ultralight Range Finder TCU Cams:
This is my favorite line of medium sized cams. Placement is super easy and I haven't had any stick yet while I've had to leave some cheaper cams on the mountian that wouldn't clean well.

Comments about Metolius Ultralight Range Finder TCU Cams:
If you have only placed single stem cams the U stems will take a while to get use to but once you do no other TCU will place as quickly or as securely. I feel much more confident above one of these than the BD C3's, that's simply an opinion. They just feel more rugged, secure and the trigger feels like it hold the piece in place better than the C3's. These are classic and there is a reason that they have not needed to change the design significantly over the years.

Comments about Metolius Ultralight Range Finder TCU Cams:
The most solid cam I've used in this size range. I feel good hanging off even a well placed 00. I've got a mix of the original and ultralight, doubles on most. They've done a great job of shedding weight on the ultralight while keeping the solid feel. The dual stem design is a confidence booster in horizontal placements. The 1-3 are always a part of my rack.

Comments about Metolius Ultralight Range Finder TCU Cams:
This is my least favorite of the metolius cams I have tried (TCU, Powercam, Mastercam). They do have a nack for fitting into certain placements but the weight savings aren't worth the little bit of instability gained as a three cam unit instead of the powercams 4.
I love the blue, but other than that I'm not a fan. The smaller ones (00 grey and 0 purple) are best replaced with the Black Diamond C3's which are expensive for sure, but stronger and can fit into smaller, tighter placements.

Comments about Metolius Ultralight Range Finder TCU Cams:
I bought some of these recently and I love to climb with them.I also bought a few of the new master cams as well,and I like these much better. Probobly because the sling broke on my #5 master cam while cleaning the route.The TCU's are an awsome part of my rack and I feel very confident having them under me on the route.They are solid and I recomend buying at least one set for medium placements.Yet another great cam from Metolius.

Biggest bang for the size
Comments about Metolius Ultralight Range Finder TCU Cams:
Some of the best out there. Good, less expensive alternative to C4's when it comes to the small sizes (.75 and down). If you can, wait for Metolius' single stem design due out in early '08 - they may be the new gold standard in small size cams.
