Great Cam!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, I do trust my life on it. Light. Colors are different than BD so keep that in mind. Green is close to BD #1, Black is close in size to BD .75, and so on.

Great Cam

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Metolius ultralight master cams are amazing. They are ridiculously lightweight compared to other cams, especially in the larger sizes. Highly recommended

Perfect Compliment To Other Cam Sizes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this cam to fill the gaps between that other famous cam company's cams, and the Metolius Ultralight Master Cam delivered! There's a crack at the gym that's too big for #0.75 and too small for #1, and this cam fits like magic! The next weekend, I ran into that exact size at Devil's Lake and placed this cam. I didn't fall on it, but the placement seemed bomber to me and my second! This is a single axle cam, and I learned with double axle cams. So the range finder dots really help me. The stem is flexible but not my first choice on a horizontal placement. The design of the cam lobe surfaces is confidence inspiring and seems like it would bite on Wisconsin quartzite.

Great Psychological Support And Easy To Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am never a micro cam prefer user because I don’t like to fall on those, but somehow these cams are super helpful when I am going in some tiny and thin crack, fit well and easy to use. The blades works well and will consider for the off set too!

Fantastic Value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I run a double rack of these little guys from 00-4 and they're my favorite small cams. A) They're the cheapest by a wide margin (which is great for the dirtbags out there) B) Metolius customer service ROCKS if you need them repaired, reslung, or cleaned C) They're durable. I've weighted, whipped, and aided on all of mine and they're no worse for wear. The only thing is the little plastic trigger connector things seem to wear out the fastest and only Metolius can fix them (see above) D) Great range, size overlap, and "stick" factor. I find the little range finder nice, but it isn't a critical thing for me. And these seem to stick better than other small.cams (save for Totems and Aliens). E) These things are friggen' light! With CAMP Nano 22s, these are some.of the lightest cams on the market. My only gripe is they get kinda floppy in the bigger sizes. The 5 and 6 are a bit floppy, but not any moreso than other small cams so it isn't a deal-breaker for me. The 7 and 8 are even floppier, so I prefer Camalots or Friends for those sizes (but unless you're using Utralight Camalots, the weight difference may persuade you towards the mastercams) I have aided on them and the lack of a thumb loop has yet to bother me or prevent me from making a move, but others may feel differently. For an aid-heavy rack, I'd probably look at other cams. For free climbing, the lack of a thumb loop has NEVER bothered me, but that's mostly personal preference.

Metolius - Metolius Ultralight Master Cam's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased doubles of Black, Orange and Red to replace some old Friends. Technology has changed for the better over the past 30 years. Nice and light with relatively large range. They work great!

Fav Cam!

Very Well Thought Out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design is awesome for small cams. Stem is flexible but just sturdy enough to place well. Got a 0 for thin stuff below my totems. Love that they’re made in the US.

Good Gear

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it, it's a good cam. It complete my set. Their size is different than BD, so its good to have both . Sometimes having a thumb loop like BD has will not work in the crack...and I use it in these situations

Awesome Cams That Are Very Lightweight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just got these and haven't had the chance to test them out too much just yet, but they have been great so far. We have them in finger sizes and they are easy to place and hold very well. Very confidence inspiring, would certainly recommend them.

Favorite Small Cams

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these babies. Definitely my favorite of the small cams to whip on. Sits well, doesnt walk and is more prone to pull then explode if you place it poorly unlike some other small cams. Its a win win.

Great Low-weight Gear

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Metolius ultralight cams are great for their low weight and a single wire offers big flexibility for their placement. I also appreciate they start from very small range ("0") so even very thin cracks become an option for protection. Highly recommended!

I’m Digging It

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the blue #1 a month ago. I’m normally a BD Camalot kind of guy, but wanted something to fit between a .2 and .3. I’ve placed this piece several times, and managed one (admittedly small) fall on it. It places well, holds well, and cleans well. I’ve thought about getting the next size up, but not sure if I really need it.

Best Cam For The Money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've purchased the Metolius ultralight master cams from the large black all the way down to the micro purple and I love them. They are easy to place with a thin head width and incredibly light weight. The lack of thumb loop is not a big deal for me, may be for some that came from c4s or similar. These are great for Alpine ascents where weight is a greater concern. Sometimes the placements can feel a little wobbly but if you make sure it is not undercammed it stays very well. I have noticed a little wear on one of the trigger cord but it's holding strong. The piece was weighted over an edge right on the cord so it's reasonable. Buy them! You won't regret it.
