Go lighter on alpine sends with the Camalot Ultralight—strength and grams that count
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I shaved serious weight off my rack with the Camalot Ultralights. For long alpine routes or fast-and-light missions, every gram counts. These offer the same confidence-inspiring lobes and ranges as the standard C4s, but ditch the extra heft. They’re bomber, easy to place, and they’re a game-changer on the sharp end."
When we're heading deep into the backcountry or eyeing a long alpine route, we need every ounce of weight savings we can get without sacrificing performance. Black Diamond’s Camalot Ultralight gives us that perfect balance. These cams retain the trusted double-axle design and color-coded slings of the classic C4s, but drop nearly 25% of the weight thanks to the use of Dyneema slings and sculpted lobes. That translates to faster movement on route, easier packing, and less pump at the crux.
Whether we’re climbing in the Bugaboos or linking pitches in the Wind Rivers, we rely on these cams for their consistent placement, smooth handling, and reliable hold. Their unique cable-stem construction is flexible yet sturdy, making them ideal for tricky placements or wandering lines. When we’re moving light and fast, Ultralights are the cams we reach for first.

Light and awesome!
These things are worth the extra cost for the weight difference with the standard Camelots.

Amazing construction
While they are a bit too pricy for me to replace my whole rack, I love how light they are. Nice for when the little weight saving counts.

Worth it
The ultralight cams hold a special place in your trad quiver. They are worth if you want to of course go light and fast and save a bit energy and knee bashing on those long approaches. But they do not belong in your everyday cragging bag unless you want to buy new ones far too often. Overall I love them when used appropriately.

no question about it
This ultralight filled the 3 sized gap in my rack. A little bit more to watch for on the wear and tear side, but it does just what you want and weighs a little less. I have trusted my life to it many times already.

The best in the biz!!
I've been a climber since the late 90's and I've seen many iterations of Camalot. BD continues to improve, with design & function year after year. Truly the vanguard of innovation. I love my Black Diamond equipment and wouldn't have it any other way!

Must have
UL cams are absolute must haves for any long trad climbing mission or difficult single pitch trad climbs. When the climbing gets long or hard, these are always on the rack.

Ultralight >>>> everything !
I absolutely love these cams. I own the old non-ultralight versions & the weight difference on a full rack is noticeable. If you’re debating between the two- go with these! The price increase is worth it in my opinion.

Love my new Ultralight #4 Camalot
Glad to replace my old #4 with this cam that seems about half the weight. I've been slowly replacing my old camalots with the ultralight version. Sure do wish the 3-1/2 would be released as ultralight. . .

A Weight difference you can feel
Upgrading to ultralight cams from my previous 2015 C4 cams is huge difference in weight. Looking forward to feeling lighter for some big alpine days.

Gradually replacing rack of C4s with the ultralights. No complaints.
