DMM Dragon Cam

More information about DMM Dragon Cam

The Dragon Cam is DMM's brand new twin axle, single stem camming device that is the perfect mainstream cam for traditional climbing. DMM Dragons have been designed without compromise to produce a blend of strength, lightness and functionality.

Over 2 years in design, this a single stem camming device was created to compliment their existing range of 4CU cams. DMM have used a double axle design and worked out the weaknesses - weight, cam angle, stems twisting and lack of a doubled sling.

DMM have kept Ray Jardines original 13.75° constant camming angle that maximises holding power without compromising range. They have also kept the extendable, double dyneema sling that saves on quickdraws and reduces the weight of your rack even further. These are the fundamentals around which Dragons are designed.

Six sizes cover a range from 20mm to 114mm.

The cams use relatively strong springs - this means the units feel slightly harder to retract, but the advantages are worth it: they will sit more securely in placements, they will have improved resistance to being pulled out of low friction placements and they will walk less.   

The thumb termination uses an aluminum forging that is massively strong, resistant to abuse and crucially enables the use of the extendable sling. The forging is actually lighter than the wire loop it replaced.

The stem uses 5.5mm stainless steel wire cover in a hydrolised nylon sleeve. The nylon sleeve rotates freely to reduce abrasion damage and gives the units really good flexibility throughout 360°. In addition DMM have used very short terminations that increase flexibility. Thus when the cams are placed in shallow vertical or horizontal cracks the units are less likely to be levered out of the placement.

The trigger bar is made from the same material and is very positive in use with sufficient relief to offer grip to the sweatiest of fingers.
