The funny thing is, several months ago a student posted on here that they wanted a project for an engineering class. I suggested building a cam extractor, and someone mentioned that the "friend of a friend" already existed. This looks like a decent attempt to make a new version of that, and if it was someone's school project, then good for them. Nothing wrong with the basic idea (although carrying this device seems impractical). But from a marketing perspective, I just don't see many sales at $117.
Maybe I am wrong.... but 90+% of stuck cams I have seen have not been perfectly placed cams that just happen to be out of reach like the demo on their website shows. Most cams that are stuck are overcammed and have other issues. Sure, extending the trigger might help, but I seriously doubt you will be bootying cams by the dozen. |

^^^ +1. Most cams I've had to struggle with are because they are overcammed with minimal left to pull on.
I can't remember if I ever had issues with a cam that was too deep, so that probably means 0-1 times.
Maybe IC if a cam walked into a deep parallel, but lot not for $117. |

The cam extractor extractor is now available for only $750, made in the USA from aircraft grade titanium and commercial grade diamonds for durability and light weight.
Pays for itself in one weekend at the creek - in the first half of the morning, you'll rescue enough cam extractors to pay for your cam extractor extractor, gas and food, gym membership, car payment and mortgage. |

| Ya I can't ever recall seeing a cam that was stuck because it was too deep here in the East... They are always overcammed. |

I can't recall the pitch, but somewhere in the first third of The Nose, there was a pitch where I saw somewhere between a half a dozen and a dozen cams that had been lost deep in the crack. It looked as if they were too small and had just been dropped in there. At least one or two of them were not even oriented to the crack, they were oriented the other way.

| lets just call a spade a spade and a stick-clip a stick-clip. i am just wondering why they aren't stick clip lengths? why not make this unit extend to 12-18 feet?
also, what is the smallest cam it can accomodate? looks like the trigger hooks are wider than a finger crack. how would this thing do with anything other than a C4? like a C3 or an alien? |

it wouldn't, only works on cams down to half an inch. |

| But I don't see this as a total loss. They could apply the technology to other inventions. Say,.. an Elenor extractor? |

| the best trick that i use is to pre rigg the cam on black diamond c4 there are to small holes on each side of the trigger you can knot a wire and loop through other hole so you basically extend he trigger by pulling a long looped wire in stead. works awsome especially when pumped |

| I really have no clue what the dude above me is writing sorry... but I think the best suggestion I read on here was the integration into a stick clip so that you could place your first cam before you leave the deck in some situation. |
