I'm using a friend's rack, which includes Camp and Kong cams that he bought while living in Austria several years ago. Since I'm not familiar with these companies, I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone knows of a reason not to trust these cams. They are clearly not as mechanically refined as Camalots, but I'm only interested in whether they're safe or not.
Thanks for any input!

I didn't know euros even used cams. Are you sure they're just not different sized bolts? :P

Yeah, he didn't get to use them much over there... sometimes the desire to acquire gear overcomes any rational thoughts about whether said gear will actually be used. Gear nerdism knows no borders :)

Camp and Kong are both well know companies in Europe, and I have heard nothing bad about either one (at least regarding the safety of their gear). So, provided the age and condition of the cams are ok, they should be just fine.
