hi quick cami question .... I have purchased a wild country friend 5 (grey) what size is that in the dmm dragon, as I got 3 of those recently sizes 2/3/4 so what size is the wild country cam I have in the same size and colour of dmm dragon 2 cam? Thanks

There is a chart to compare here:

According to this though, the grey Friend is size 4 not 5 though? In which case it is equivalent to a grey dragon 6. The colours are pretty consistent between most brands.

Edit: this is also useful, and gives lots more than the rock+run chart:

https://camparator.com/compare/cam/selection/?i747=1&i748=1&i379=1&...

So if you do indeed have the size 5 friend, supposedly red, it would be equivalent to the purple size 7 Dragon

single or double axle grey friend ?   

in double axle (the new ones) it should be similar to the BD/DMM offerings (camalots, dragons) in same colour ie a dragon 6. However new friends only go up to 4 (the grey one is 4 they use the same numbering system as BD ish)

if single axle (old) friend and is a 5   (I have an original friend 5 it is indeed red and large) then size is 83..138mm  its similar to purple dragon number 7    88..149mm (see  https://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/climbing/protection/wild_country_big_friend...
