Super Light, Sturdy, And I

Super light, sturdy, and I feel confident when placing this while climbing!

C4

The best - hard to find right now for some reason?

Ultralight #4

Even when comparing the weight and design of various ultralight active pro of this size, I felt that this Camelot still came out on top! I am impressed with the weight, how light it is, and it functions as beautifully as they Camelots always have. In the alpine setting, I have come to appreciate the active pro that have built in extendable springs. That preference is the only reason I would choose another type of gear.

This Is Becoming The Bread

This is becoming the bread and butter of my rack. Particularly for alpine climbing. Something with the head width on sizes below . 5 makes them less great in the smaller sizes but for most everything else you get a good weight savings.

Handsome But Stiff

This is obviously a well-made quality cam, however not being flexible and not having an extendable sling, like for instance the Dragonfily, is making its use less common.

Fav

My all-time favorite camming device. Love that my double rack is now a bit lighter.

Light And Awesome!

These things are worth the extra cost for the weight difference with the standard Camelots.

Amazing Construction

While they are a bit too pricy for me to replace my whole rack, I love how light they are. Nice for when the little weight saving counts.

Worth It

The ultralight cams hold a special place in your trad quiver. They are worth if you want to of course go light and fast and save a bit energy and knee bashing on those long approaches. But they do not belong in your everyday cragging bag unless you want to buy new ones far too often. Overall I love them when used appropriately.

No Question About It

This ultralight filled the 3 sized gap in my rack. A little bit more to watch for on the wear and tear side, but it does just what you want and weighs a little less. I have trusted my life to it many times already.

The Best In The Biz!!

I've been a climber since the late 90's and I've seen many iterations of Camalot. BD continues to improve, with design & function year after year. Truly the vanguard of innovation. I love my Black Diamond equipment and wouldn't have it any other way!

Must Have

UL cams are absolute must haves for any long trad climbing mission or difficult single pitch trad climbs. When the climbing gets long or hard, these are always on the rack.

Ultralight >>>> Everything !

I absolutely love these cams. I own the old non-ultralight versions & the weight difference on a full rack is noticeable. If you’re debating between the two- go with these! The price increase is worth it in my opinion.

Love My New Ultralight #4 Camalot

Glad to replace my old #4 with this cam that seems about half the weight. I've been slowly replacing my old camalots with the ultralight version. Sure do wish the 3-1/2 would be released as ultralight. . .

A Weight Difference You Can Feel

Upgrading to ultralight cams from my previous 2015 C4 cams is huge difference in weight. Looking forward to feeling lighter for some big alpine days.
