Cold Beer Dirty Girls Chicken Dinner!
So I was at the red rock rendevous and got a close up look at the Metolius freaky cams.
The "cable" in the photo is Kevlar cord which wraps around one of the axles like a winch.
I'd be a little worried about durability. I've seen what happens to the trigger wires on my cams when they've been stuffed into my backpack one too many times.
I don't think I'd buy any of these until I had a chance talk to someone who's owned some for at least a few years.
Also the trango max cams: the two axles are closer together than they appear in the CGI simulation. Which places the fulcrum closer to the leverage axle. I asked them about the angle of degree in the logarithmic spiral but they didn't know jack about it.
