Product DescriptionGreat three lobe, small sized cams. With up to 30 percent less head width than any other micro cam, C3 Camalots fit in more places, more securely. The C3’s broader middle lobe overlaps and interlocks with the opposing cams, maintaining the cam head’s narrow width and maximizing contact area. Three compression springs independently drive each cam for increased holding force and contact in irregular placements. Their unique thin-profile stems are laterally stiff for slotting in tight placements, but flexible over edges for a more evenly dispersed load. Easy to grab, even with gloves on, their cable loops provide ample room for clipping in short or with a draw.
Now you’re better protected when it’s runout, pumpy or sick hard with new Camalot C3s. Why? Because with 30% narrower head widths than any other three- or four-cam units on the market, C3s will fit in far more places—think blown-out holes, first-digit pin scars and solution pockets. Patent-pending compression drive springs push each cam with greater force and are truly independent—they hold better than the traditional springs of most other units. The stem design is laterally stiff for tight placements, but noodle-soft over edges. Flexible stainless steel cables disperse loads evenly, minimize deformation and make the unit inherently stronger.
• Averaging 30% narrower heads than any other 3- or 4-cam units on the market
• Patent-pending interlocking cams allow for solid placements in narrow constrictions and pin scars
• Patent-pending compression drive springs push each cam indepently with greater force so they hold better in tough placements
• U-stem design provides a balanced combination of stiffness and flexibility
• Ribbed trigger and thumb rest improve handling when you're really pumped
• Color-coded units and slings for quick and easy ID

Voted 5/5 | that these cams haven't been reviewed here already. I've recently begun using these and like them a lot. I've found them useful in Eldo when other stuff won't fit and I'm glad I had them with me. I thought I was done buying cams when I got all the C4's (0.3 - 4), boy was I wrong! Oh well, more gear is never a bad thing. These can be slotted easily and they are solid pieces of gear.
One of the stiffest trigger/spring combos on any cam I"ve used, but I don't notice it much. I also like the rigidity of the unit over the seemingly flimsyness of aliens and their ilk. | | Posted Mar 31, 2008 5:28 pm |

Voted 3/5 | As Aliens replacement (i.e. another narrow head cam), they just don't seem to measure up for me. The stem assembly is too stiff for pin scar type placments. For parallel cracks, any cam will do and narrow head is usually not required anyway. Metolius TCU's feel much better in non-pin scar placments esp. in soft rock. Just my 2 cents. | | Posted May 15, 2008 7:31 pm |
| rhyang | They work fine | | 
Voted 4/5 | I like the narrow head and the thumbloop. Yes, they are expensive, but they do go on sale at various times of the year.
I have a set of alien hybrids for flaring pin scars, but the C3's seem pretty decent in pods or pockets. | | Posted Nov 28, 2008 3:42 pm |
