cmonster Posted July 7, 2001 Posted July 7, 2001 Has anyone had any experience with Rock Empire cams? The recent Rock & Ice said a few things about the trigger, but not much else. They meet UIAA standards. They seem to be unbelievably inexpensive. $199 for 8 units. WOW. Thoughts? Quote
Fat_Kid Posted July 8, 2001 Posted July 8, 2001 The rock empire cams are an awsome value. They are well built and would be what I would buy if I was building a rack from scratch or trying to ad some some more cams. Check out www.acmeclimbing.com for the cams and some other good gear deals. later Quote
Zenolith Posted July 10, 2001 Posted July 10, 2001 I have a full set (all 8). I like them but there are two drawbacks. The biggest one is like a Camalot #3 or so. I also have a set of Metolius so its not a problem for me. Also, the axle is short on the quads making the distance between the cams nil. They walk a bit more b/c of this. The micros are great-like a more affordable alien but not as well built. They are probably comparable in craftsmanship to Trango stuff but many people mistake them for Metolius on first glance. If you like Metolius, you'll like these for the money. I would not buy them as a first set unless you are dirt poor since I don't like them in all situations. Quote
