Description

Designed for great performance when alpine, aid or free climbing, the Metolius Ultralight TCU™ mini cam is lightweight and has a narrow head width that allows it to fit where other cams won't. Built with a Range Finder feedback system, the Ultralight TCU™ is easier and safer to place and the U-shaped, stainless steel body provides greater durability than single-stem units and unparalleled control during placement and retraction. Sold one at a time; choose one size from 00-4; all sizes may not be in stock.

Ultralight TCU 5 5 3 3
Great Cam Light weight, smooth operation, range finding marks are very useful for newbies. Everyone needs a few of these on their rack. Its a classic design at a great price. April 5, 2011
Really light, easy to use. These cams are the lightest out there. I can hardly tell its in my hand. The U-shaped stem is great too, for the single finger/thumb placements. If you're in a tight spot, or the cam gets stuck kinda deep, the metal trigger is durable and small enough to be pulled with a nut tool, making it super easy to remove. You should definitely get a few of these to fill out your small gear rack. October 1, 2009
GREAT PRICE, GREAT CAM As mentioned in the description "the U-shaped... body provides... unparalleled control during placement and retraction." In laymen terms, you can pull the trigger back with only one finger on the outside of the U or the middle, unlike single stem cams (two finger min). It's real nice if you're in a weird positions trying to finagle it into or out of place. No plastic parts either (i.e. trigger), which means more durable. They're perfect for a normal parallel crack, but I'd recommend C3s for anything smaller than blue for the narrow head and strength. Did I mention they're light (for a cam)? April 9, 2009
