Description
The FlexCams by Trango offer up a killer combination of function, quality and value. Weve added a 0.5 and 9 to extend the range so weve got you covered from sub-tips to big fists. The axle lengths have been carefully calibrated to maximize stability and minimize walking and, best of all, the five smallest sizes utilize the Splitter 4Cam design. These direct-offset cams let you place them in really shallow pockets and, in a pinch, you can hang them off a single pair of cams think shallow pin-scars and still have enough strength to catch a reasonable fall. All sizes still have the doubled UltraTape slings so you can clip in at three different lengths. All this and theyre still one of the lightest and best value cams on the planet. Features: Weight: 60 to 244gm lightest cams out there Strength: 8kN-15kN

Got a set of these 0.5 through 6 are real nice,the larger ones 7 through 9 are ok the springs are sloppy but would hold a fall also 7,8,9 seem to walk a little. Overall I really like these cams alot.

i just bought my second set of trango flex cams. i have to admit that i bought them on price. i got my first set for 37/cam and my second for 26/cam new. i assumed that because they were bargain priced cams, the weight would be horrible. i was wrong. i don't feel weighted down when i'm up on a crack trying to plug pro. the 8 and 9 have not walked on me like so many people claim. the stems are a little to flexy, but they've been fine. besides, where can you get a 4.3 inch cam for less than $30. the springs are different for each cam. some i like some i hate. the springs are so stiff on the smallest cams that when you pull the trigger, the shaft starts to flex under the weight. this can be annoying if you are trying to plug it into a finger crack as it won't fit sometimes. overall, they've been fine and do exactly what they were made to do.
pros: price, price, price!
cons: too much flex in small and big cams, variance in spring pressure

Really not good for a first set

I started my trad rack with a full set of these a year ago, and over the past year I've replaced them with a full set of BD C4s. Sizes 5-8 are light, have a great range, and I trust them completely. They make great seconds for my C4s in the #1-3 range, and are the only ones I recommend. Sizes 0.5-2 have such a narrow range I've never been able to place them, and they're probably only good for aid anyway. Also, the gripping surface of the 0.5-2 is flat and smooth, not indented like the rest of them. I trust #3 and 4 a little more, but I avoid using them when I can. The stem on the #9 is so flexible that it bends when you pull the trigger all the way, preventing the cams from maximum retraction, so when my #9 walked its way into a crack, I lost it. Five stars for sizes 5-8, three for #3, 4 and 9, and zero for the rest. Buying the full set was a waste of money.

I love the smaller sizes. The thumb loop is a requirement for me, and I like the extendable sling. I wish they would make the triple six inch extension like they had talked about. My only dislike is the #8(and larger if I owned it), it walks constantly. I just dont trust it any more.
