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.

Black Diamond makes some awesome little cams. These Z4s are so much easier to trust in awkward placements or in places where the stem needs to be able to bend around or over an edge! The stem really stays pretty rigid while you’re placing it and then bends over edges nicely and is protected by the sheath. Even though it’s plastic its extremely durable and I’ve yet to see a brok... Read more

I took one whipper on this and was really happy it was such a bomber placement but now the stem is bent/ twisted after just one fall. The piece did what it was supposed to do but it looks pretty out of shape now

These Z4 cams have become almost standard rack issue in the Sierra granite cracks. I haven't taken a big whipper on one yet but with intelligent placement I am confident in this hardware. Great in Moab wall work too.

Z4s are my go-to free climbing small cams. They are lightweight, easy to place, and flexible. They work great for granite and pin scars. Totems do outshine in some situations (especially aid), but for general free climbing these are hard to beat. They aren't bulletproof, if you take whips on the smaller ones they have a tendency to kink. The heads are also softer alloy aluminum... Read more

First Z4 - slick design, no complaints so far. Always takes a few uses to trust tiny gear, but suspect it will be as bomber as other BD cams. Looking forward to getting years of use out of this piece.

In the single stem size, you can feel the wire as you retract the trigger. The smaller ones are not as stiff as I would like when retracted but also not floppy. The larger sizes are are fine. They are longer than the C4s so easier to place deeper.
