Side by side comparison of Dragon Cams and Camalots.

This is true!

I met a guy the other day with some older looking gear, he climbed the crack just fine. Can't remember what he called them, a "Hux" or something like that?

Well, I guess there is a such thing as "too much free time" on teh interweb

Dragon 5mm tech cord

Dragon 5mm tech cord extended

DIY resling notes

- it takes just over 1m of tech cord to match the factory length with a triple fishermans ... 110 cm to be safe

- the cord is stiffer than the 8mm sling

- the knot is bulkier, the current documentation shows that double fishermans can be used with tech cord so i might try that (edit ... Double fishermans work better less bulky, take the ends with clear duct tape)

As a side note im getting a bit of a runaround about whether anyone in north america can do a resling ... The dmm distributer said yates, yates hasnt replied

;)

Another update

Looks like DMM wants me to ship em back to wales for a resling, which if course costs a pretty penny and takes a while

Its a major oversight IMO to have a cam that takes special slings that are less durable and have no one in north america that can resling the things

Im fine using tech cord, but if you arent, dont buy the dragons or demons

I wont recommend them because of this, a quality cam should have someone in north america that can do something as basic as reslinging and repairing trigger wires

Even if its through a third party

Also if yr in canada the price MEC charges for DMM gear is rediculous ... Its ~50% more than other equivalents

If Yates hasn't replied yet call them...they re-slung all my cams with doubled dyneema, except for a couple of older BDs which had too small an eye for a doubled sling.
