Unbeatable For Granite Free Climbing

These cams are phenomenal in granite scars near my home in UT. Z cams are the best free climbing cam on the market

My Go To Gear

The offsets work so well in flares and pin scars that I seem to take them every time I rack up. Great build and design.

Don’t Buy The . 2/. 3

I have a . 1/. 2 and a . 2/. 3 offset and the . 1/. 2 works just fine but the . 2/. 3 seems to have a possible design flaw? The lobes don’t want to retract and one side gets hyperextended while the other is hypoextended. I’ve read online of this same thing happening to other’s cams. It’s not even an old cam as I’ve only had it about a year. Do yourself a favor and don’t buy the . 2/. 3 z4

Excellent Cam

Love the bendy neck. Really makes you feel more confident making the insecure placements. The offset works great on granite.

Incredible Design

I had used the metolius master cams for the small sizes in my rack for years. The new z4 design is amazing and I'm now 100% converted.

Industry Standard

Lobes are soft leading to good grip but reduced durability, but all around they're hard to beat

Excellent, Not A Specialty Piece

These offsets are well built and are solid in flares and pods. Recently many have opted for totems instead, but two good lobes and two bad lobes aren't a substitute for four good lobes in a flare. Placing the z4 feels excellent, the trigger feels smooth and precise even when pumped.

Brilliant!

LOVE these for Yosemite, but great everywhere. flaring placements are a slam dunk with the off sets. I tell people to buy an offset before they buy a second of any size, because you can be inventive and make them work more places than either the size above or below them.

Solid Pro

Your microcam collection really isn't complete unless you include offsets. With the small expansion range offsets can be bomber where straight cams catch only 2 or 3 lobes

Can They Get Any Better?!

Bought my first set of Z4 Offsets after using C4/X4’s for years and I’m so impressed. The tiny changes like stem , textured/narrower lobes and new style trigger wire guard is really nice. Kind of thinking I need a whole set of Z4 micro cams as well now.

Perfect In Almost All Situations

The thin lobes and offset sizing always places really well in flares, eyebrows, and pods. I always carry a rack these days with the 3 smallest on one oval. In the alpine these are my go to double rack addition. The low profile slings are and added bonus for lightness

Great Cams

Love the size and versatility of the Z4’s. Easy to place and fit into all types of small cracks.

Fits Perfectly Into Small Cracks

Fits perfectly into small cracks that don’t allow for nuts.

Ideal!

Does exactly what it needs to in flared cracks and flakes.

Amazing Desing

I had the X4 cams and compared to them, these work way better when re-locating them in the crag!
