The Totem Basic Cam uses the traditional internal spring and sheath trigger systems to get a narrow head and a very flexible body. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to David Waggoner, passed in October 2009, designer of this awesome design. We have done our bit to try to improve it: flexible trigger wire ropes system, rounded lobe edges, internal spring on blue size, color anodized upper trigger plate, diagonal micro teeth on cam lobes and more.
Features of Totem Basic Cam:
Internal cam springs for narrow head width.
Sheath trigger for maximum flexibility. Stainless 5/32" 7x19 wire rope for all Basic Cam sizes.
16 degrees cam angle, soft lobes with teeth for well trusted holding power. Lobes are CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy.
Double sheath on trigger. The outer sheath layer has free rotation motion for improved abrasion resistance.
NEW trigger wires system. Flexible and strong while maintaining a correct independent lobe motion.
NEW rounded lobe edges. More consistent rock contact on non parallel cracks and less flash material on lobe edges.
Three well scaled regular sizes from green to red.
Two hybrid sizes. The perfect complement for both Totem and Basic Cams.

I have used these cams moderately now and I have used BD X4s extensively. I like the Totem Basics much better and sold all my X4s!
Pros:
+ compact head fits in small placements
+ large cam angle is more forgiving (vs. Metolius or Wild Country)
+ "tire tread" combined with soft alloy lobes gives bomber grip in placements
+ long stem with wonderful amount of flex to snake ... Read more
Totem basics are absolutely bomber and place well where others will pull out. Paired mine as doubles with a set of X4s and they work nicely together, filling in holes in their respective ranges. Highly recommended.
