Hold well, decent price, sleek feel. Very good compared to others.

Does A Great Job Into

Does a great job into fitting into the smaller cracks. Helps my brain, and my safety! Well done

Light Easy To Use. Have

Light easy to use. Have not fallen on it yet but it places easily.

Very Nice

The best C4 around, smaller, lighter, and more versatile.

Great Cams - Don't Leave The Ground Without Them!

always have the smaller sizes (0. 4 - 0. 1) on my rack

My Favorite Cam

Love z4s for mid size, such as 0. 4-0. 75. They are barely heavier than ultralights, but more durable and are less likely to walk. Love the flexible stem.

Awesome Flex Cam

Reliable in hard to place and/or directional change placements placements

Single Use

Great if you're a pro and get them for free, otherwise, skip. I loved these at first but they just don't hold up to standard or even light usage. You can find many reviews on various platforms of normal usage failures, including ones that lead to popped pieces and dangerous falls. Problems in a nutshell: -The lobes on the single axle cams twist out of place such that you need two hands to reconfigure them before placement. -The lobes on the double axles regularly deform under typical loads and render the cams unusable. -The Trigger wires fray and fall apart during normal storage. What's the point if you fall on these once and can't use them for the next pitch?

Great Cams

These cams are great! The lobes are closer together, side to side, than the c4's and many other camming devices, which allows them to fit into smaller pods and placements.

TBH if I was building out a rack again I'd just get a bunch of these instead of the C4s. Theyre great for horizontals (duh doy) and that rules if you also climb at the Gunks. I'm not going to check but they feel lighter and sit well on a harness. They also hold whips which is the main reason one buys cans.

Worth The Little Bit Of Extra Money!

Super happy with the Z series. For me they are worth the extra bit of money over the C4 series. I would recommend if you are building a double rack to have half(ish) of the rack be the Z4 series because it gives you a bit more flexibility in the placement and sizes.

Flexibilidad Y Fijación

Gran flexibilidad y fijación. La flexibilidad de la pieza minimiza el desplazamiento dentro de la grieta, ya sea que avance al interior o se salga por el movimiento de la cuerda. El único inconveniente es su reducción de resistencia comparada con el C4.

Camalot Z4s

I love these cams because of their rigid feel while placing them, but how they still flex especially in horizontal crack systems. I haven't had issues with them walking either. Grate purchase and would 100% recommend for anyone trying to grow or start their rack.

These Are My Favorite Cams

These are my favorite cams to bring when just using a single rack. Their flexibility is incredible, but the stiffness when putting them in and taking them out is what makes them better than similar cams from other brands. In the smallest few sizes, it can be hard to pull the triggers all the way to fit them into tight placements, but generally I don't have an issue.

Smooth And Flexible

For the 0. 3 - 0. 75 range, these are my go-to. Again an extendable sling would make these ideal.
