The SuperTopo.com staff rated the Camalot C4 after extensive field testing in Yosemite, Colorado, and Utah. The Camalot C4 also underwent extensive side by side tests with other cams to evaluate key performance metrics such as ease of use, performacne in flared cracks,   horizontal cracks, tight placements, walking and durability.

According to gear tester Chris McNamara, "The Black Diamond Camalot C4 is still my favorite one-inch and larger cam for big walls and trad climbs. It works better than nearly any other cam for shallow and awkward placements often encountered in Yosemite and other granite areas. It is very durable and if you look at the racks of accomplished Yosemite climbers you will see this is the cam of choice. For the smaller sizes (below 0.5") Black Diamond has the Camalot C3."  http://www.supertopo.com/review/Black-Diamond-Camalot-C3
