Still the lightest full-size carabiner in the world
Optimized new body design increases rigidity and strength without increasing weight
Redesigned interface between the gate and nose helps to protect the wire gate from damage and accidental opening
The Photon wire is perfect for climbers who want a racking biner that is lightweight and low-profile but still clips with the ease of a high-end quickdraw
Well-suited for difficult trad leads or alpine mixed routes and ice climbing

Great Carabiner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these to go with my slings for some alpine quickdraws. Haven't had time to see how they wear, but they're lightweight and easy to clip. Wound up getting more to rack some cams.

A Great Carabiner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light weight wire gate carabiner. Fun colors and a good price. I bought this to replace a sold gate carabiner n a QuickDraw. Didn’t officially weight it but seems much lighter in hand.

Great For Clipping
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Camp Photons in combination with 60 cm slings for making alpine quick draws. Super light while maintaining a large gate opening and basket. Highly recommended.

My Favorite Full Size Biner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this biner. Snappy gate, light weight, and wide gate opening. The only better carabiner is the Dyon for its smooth nose but that's like twice the price.

Best Full Sized Lightweight Carabiner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple, large size for easy manipulation, lightweight, new version has shrouded nose for less accidental opening. Gates need occasional oiling to remain snappy is the only detractor. This is the main carabiner I use for everything on my rack.

Nice Colors - Just A Bit Bigger Than I Expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought several of these in various colors to pair up with cams on my trad rack, matching the colors of the biners to the cams. There's nothing wrong with the biners. They're great, just slightly larger than I really wanted on my cam rack. I wound up replacing them with slightly smaller wiregate cams I found locally, but these will go on sling of extra biners.

Perfect Size And Weight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Photon Wire is my go to biner for racking trad gear and making alpine draws. I always carry a few extra on my harnesses for auxiliary clips. Can’t go wrong with Photons!

Awesome Carabiners
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these for the rope side of my alpine draws, paired with CAMP Dyons on the bolt/gear side. The setup has been great so far for mixed sport/trad multipitch. The Photons are light and easy to clip, and I can't help but love the blue color. I've heard they do well in cold/icy/snowy conditions too but can't speak to that yet.

Light And Large
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using these for about a month and love them. Mainly used for my alpine draws and racking cams. Large size makes handling easy yet they are still light as a feather.

They Serve Their Purpose Well!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a rack pack of these a while ago for my cams and they have been great! I dont have anything to say about their strength as i am alive but i can say they they clip onto my harness easily.

Great Pairing With The Nano 22
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Camp just keeps improving. These make a great rope end biner to pair with the Nano 22 for alpine draws. They are so good, I only use alpine draws for trad, where I used to carry some regular draws for convenience on difficult placements. The combination of 8 or 10mm dyneema slings, the Nano 22, and the Photon wire is very light, versatile, and easy to use.

Very Light And Huge Gate!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Probably the lightest carabiner with such a huge opening. Have used these to replace carabiners on my alpine draws and on the rope end of several quickdraws. You will feel a weight savings over other biners and the large opening and nice clip feel are an extra plus.
