scratchandsniff Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 Tip of the hat to RBW for the info on the new Omega cams. I haven't seen this info on the Trango max cam yet. Alledegly it will have the outer cams float on the inner cams increasing the expansion range to 2:1 ratio. The proto they made will fit the tight end of a #2 Camalot and the big end of a #3. It will weigh less than the #2 camalot!!! It looks similar the George Lowe origonal cam, except it's dual axle, and the backside moves as well. www.trango.com/maxcam.jpg Addtionally - I keep seeing those who love the Trango flex cams for their light weight(I personally prefer the Camalots on the larger sizes and Metolius for the tri-cams.) FYI, They are reworking the regular flexcams too. http://www.trango.com/newflexcam.jpg So if you love the origonal design, better stock up now. It may wind up like classic Coke and have 2 lines of product: but I doubt it. Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 It has occurred to me that while they have extended the range in one dimension, the width of the cam is fixed in the other dimension. Thus one worries about the stability of the cam laterally when at its maximum extension. Quote
