'MASSIVE CAMMING RANGE & BULLET PROOF RELIABILITY'

Strengths:
twin axle contstruction means that the cam can be used passively (if you realy want to)& because of the unique shape of the cam the range of placements is greater than any other cam on the market.
The construction feels solid which is very reasuring especially when you weigh just over 100 Kg

Weaknesses:
When comparing the Camalot to other devices on the market it is one of the heaviestin weight and price,
But the build quality and camming range more than make up for this
The only way of improving them would be to use the kind of sling extendor arrangement now favoured by DMM, although I havent found these cams as prone to walking as other brands.

Overall:
Nothing much more to say on these other than I alwaays feel safe climbing on them, they look safe are very robust and well worth the dosh.

'THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY'

Strengths:
Easy to place, easy to remove, easy to decide which will fit (because there's usually 3 which will fit!), and easy to pull the trigger, whatever the size!

Weaknesses:
Expensive - what price can you put on life?
Heavy - But they feel more secure, and won't walk!

Overall:
They are the mutt's nuts. These are the serious bits of kit. With these in the wall you feel that bit more confident to try the next hard move. I've been more confident to climb harder with these, and as such am improving. And the unique twin axle means it's just another bit better than anyone else's!
