Introducing the Camalot X4—the latest addition to the gold-standard Camalot family.

The Camalot X4 combines the single-stem flexibility and narrow head-width of our Camalot C3 with the four-lobe expansion range and holding power of our Camalot, making it ideal for pinned out cracks. micro-pods and horizontal slots.

The Camalot X4s expansion range is unrivaled thanks to its innovative Stacked Axle that provides the smaller sizes with double-axle expansion range without enlarging the head width. An armored cable, integrated cam springs, symmetric swage and hot-forged trigger bar round out the X4's innovative features.

Available Spring 2013.

Here is a video of the Camalot X4 designer, Bill Belcourt, describing the product to UKC at Friedricshafen Outdoor 2012.

Given the price of C3's... Being a new product these will be about £70 each? Or would it be similar to demon cams, being a first small cam for your rack and be less than C3's? I hope there no more than £50 each! With pack deals 3 for 120...

That comment on the video should probably be: After months of design and development, and countless pitches of testing with BD athletes and employees.......we just ripped off the design of the old Aliens.

improved on the design would be a fairer assessment. Anyway at first glance they look very nice, would be interested to see them in person and the specs (head width, expansion range and weight)

Did you miss the inventive bit about the effective double axle on one axle? Nothing like an alien in that respect and probably with better qc.
