Super impressed
These are my favorite cams period. When I'm gripped, pumped, or in that position where "I really need that piece to hold" these are the cams I reach for. I couldn't tell you how many times I've placed these in poor placements and thought "that probably won't hold" just to test them and have them be solid. Super impressed
I have to say I have taken many whips on the blue .3 size that I bought and it is super confidence inspiring. I have the DMM dragonflies and the new Aliens as well to compare these to. I really like how flexible the aliens and dragonflies are however the more rigid stem of the zero friend does help when freeclimbing hard terrain when you press the trigger and the cam doesn't move as much as the other two... They still aren't fully rigid like a C3 or TCU so they don't walk easily.. They did a great job finding that middle ground between being flexible and rigid.
I have to say a little disappointed with these cams. I have recently switched all my old Bd cams to the friends and have been very happy. But... the zero friends have not bode well for me. I have put very little use on them and my yellow and red both already have lobe issues and not from major falls. The other negative is the stems are very very floppy the whole cam will bend when squeezing the trigger similar to the x4’s I wish the stem was more rigid and they were tougher. I don’t think I will get much more use out of them unfortunately...
One of the best options for the size
Honestly, besides a totems, these are my favorite cams to place when things are getting spicy. They fit in odd places my Z4s don't. Such an underated cam.
Easy to place and easy to retrieve
Wild Country cams have some very nice features. They certainly grip well and don't move much with rope drag. The alpine draw feature is great for minor extensions, when the rope is running almost straight. The big wire loop in the main cam is great for clipping into when a longer extension is required. Foer such a small cam, it releases very well. Finally the color is easy to spot, making it quick to grab the right size.
awesome little cam, surprised these haven't made as big a splash as the other micro cams coming out. I bought the .1-.3 and they feel like a mix between the new Z4 and the X4. they dont hold completely rigid when the trigger is pulled but on the smaller sizes that hasn't mattered much. on the upside, the head width is TINY which is crazy for how strong they are. Great cams!
Great all around product
Got one of these to test it out and was pleasantly surprised. An all round great product that is something I am constantly wanting to place. Solid when being placed, and doesn't walk easily due to its flexibility. The extendible sling is also a huge plus. 10/10 would recommend!
Zero Friends are awesome little cams
Zero Friend cams are light, narrow and useful. I use them alongside CCH Aliens on my rack. I really like the extendable sling. It extends enough that I can often save a draw for later in the lead. The stem and trigger are about perfect. Easy to place, even with big fingers.
Wild country zero friemds
I used the .3 and .4 zero friends in city of rocks on granite and they worked perfectly. I used them on both horizontal and vertical placements . I also like the extendable sling that they come with. The heads are narrow and worked great in small cracks and pockets.
I got these to compare to the Z4s and I have to say that they haven’t held up as well. I took them up a bigwall and they have permanent kinks in them that make it very difficult to actuate the mechanism.
