These are my first set of cams, and I also purchased the TCU 4pk set as well. I all my cams 30% from Altrec, wich turned into 2 free cams for the money. The range of each cam is a little less than the C4s, so there are a few more cams to cover the range.. but this allows for extra cams on the harness for other placements. Combined with several essential C4s, it's the perfect rack.
Pros: Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Cons: could be a bit longer
GREAT PRICE, GREAT CAM

An essential range package, whether to use as a base for your rack or as a second. 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)?
