In short

The gold standard for camming units, the Camalots' double-axle design allows retraction of larger cam lobes, giving them a much larger expansion range than traditional single-axle units

The BD camelots are a good camming device, with a range of sizes from very small up to collosal! This means you can buy sizes that really link to what you will use them for. For me, I have 4 mid sized ones for use on single pitch grit. As a single stem cam they used to dominate the market in terms of quality, however more manufacturers are coming out with new models now so there is competition out there. They have a smooth action, and the trigger bar is textured to allow easy grip.

I use both these and DMM's Dragon cams, for pure tradclimbing I think the Dragons are better but for aid or winterclimbing, I definately prefer these. The thumbloop makes them really easy to place even when you are wearing gloves and the double axles gives them a wide range! They are a little bit heavier than some other single axle cams but definately worth it IMO!

These are the best cams out there.. the fingerloop makes them so easy to place and they are not too heavy.. very pricey but I think they are worth the purchase..
