Black Diamond Camalot Z4

Born from a heart-to-heart with our top trad-climbing BD Athletes Hazel Findlay, Carlo Traversi, Sam Elias, and Babsi Zangerl, the Camalot Z4 is the realization of a dream: to have a single-stem cam that stays rigid in-hand, but flexes once placed. Beholdthe patent-pending RigidFlex stem. Thanks to the independently floating trigger wires the Camalot Z4 doesnt bend while under tension and retracted, but once placed allows the stem to move, ensuring a placement that stays put and doesnt walk when pulled directionally. The stem on the larger sizes also 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. Featuring a similar head-width as our old Camalot C3 design, but with 4 lobes that are sandblasted for better holding power, the Z4s are not only an upgrade, but are also available is smaller sizesstarting from #0, our smallest cam ever made, and ranging to .75, allowing you to dial in the rack, whether youre gunning for a tips crack in the desert, or going light and fast in the Bugs.
