About the Black Diamond Camalot Z4 Offset
The all-new Black Diamond Camalot Z4 Offset Camming device sets a new standard when it comes to single-stem offset cams, featuring the patent-pending RigidFlex stem. The Z4s are available in five sizes ranging from .1/.2 to .5/.75. This Offset Z4 range is great for ensuring correct placement in pin scars, flares and irregular cracks.
The Camalot Z4s use Black Diamond's innovative RigidFlex stem, which stays rigid during placement but flexes when climbing. RigidFlex utilises floating trigger wires to ensure the cam does not bend and retract under tension. Instead, the stem is allowed to flex, ensuring a placement that stays put and doesn’t walk when pulled directionally.
With a similar head-width as the Camalot C3 design, the Z4 instead contains 4 lobes that are sandblasted for better holding power. The smaller Z4 sizes feature Black Diamond's single cable construction that avoid buckling when pulling hard on the trigger. The larger sizes meanwhile use a dual twisted cable construction that allow uniform flex in all directions.
The Offset Z4 was created after consultation with top trad-climbing Black Diamond Athletes Hazel Findlay, Carlo Traversi, Sam Elias, and Babsi Zangerl.
