I have been using Rock Empire cams for nearly a year now and have nothing but good things to say about them but rarely run into other people using them. Why is this?

You never see anyone with them, because they are all stuck.

None of mine have gotten stuck, maybe they need to learn how to place them

I've had my rock empire robots for over 5 years now. Only lost one. And was no problem replacing. I love em. Have taken some good falls in them, and they hold great. In fact, just bought another set from Owen, thanks BTW. Now just waiting for them to arrive in the mail

Have a set of robots and yes, the larger ones do walk because the two inner lobes are so close together. hard to beat for the price though

When you need money and you've just moved to a sport climbing area (Frankenjura) cams have no use. I still love those cams and would buy them again without hesitation.

I use some rock empires. love them. I had a #6 catch me in boulder canyon after a 30ft whipper where two nuts zippered. theyre cheap but they work.

Dont worry owen its just in Killis nature to be a douche. No need for the nasty tone again Mr Howard.

My rock empire cams are great! But i'm definitely going to start going for c4's, i just like the construction better, regardless of the price

I have had Rock Empire Robot cams for 4 years now.
a)I have never gotten one stuck
b)Never have they self destructed and yes I have taken multiple falls on them
c)They're cheap!
d)If only they were lighter weight

Check out the review I just put up, reviewing the new RE Axel Cam.

Rock empire cams are about as good as cancer... :) they are manufactured appropriately and will obviously hold a fall, but there are far superior cams out there that have better range, weigh less, and have smoother trigger action. but if your on a budget then i could see why you would buy them.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
