Black Diamond Camalot Z4

Born from a heart-to-heart with Black Diamond engineers and their top trad-climbing pros, the Camalot Z4 is the realization of a dream: a single-stem cam that stays rigid in hand, but flexes once placed. One of drawbacks with single-stem cams of the past is that the lobes tend to move when retracted. This can be a real pain when trying to make a tricky placement. Black Diamond solved this problem with their new Z4 Camalots. Thanks to the independently floating trigger wires, the Camalot Z4 doesn’t bend while under tension and retracted; and once placed, the stem can move, ensuring the cam doesn’t walk when pulled directionally. The stem on the larger sizes utilizes dual twisted cable construction, which provides uniform flex in all directions, while single cable construction is implemented on smaller sizes to avoid buckling when pulling hard on the trigger and to reduce trigger profile. And, the Z4 comes in smaller sizes that are great for tight placements in aid climbing. Featuring a similar head-width as Black Diamond's old Camalot C3 design, but with four lobes that are sandblasted for better holding power, the Black Diamond Z4 Camalots are the upgrade your rack has been waiting for.
