I'm looking forward to playing with these cams. Depending on how well they work, I'll bet they will start becoming a favorite on many a climber's rack.

And kudos to OP for thinking outside the box and trying to bring an innovative new product to the market...

That is a sweet piece of machinery! I've submitted a diagram of how I think it works. If it works like I think it does, the smallest placement size is less than 35% of the largest, so you could have one unit that goes from 1" down to .3".
Edit add: Here's a link to a diagram of how I think this critter works:

In reply to: WICKED, OP has a flash vid on their site of someone opening and closing the cam. Very interested to see how they work out.
Here's a link:

If i'd seen that first, it'd have saved me a bit of CAD fun!

That's a fairly complex little gizmo - in testing them how have they held up to grit and dirt from use? I agree w/ what's been said so far for the price and weight? these would be nice clutch pieces, but I'm not sure of a rack o the things. I will probably buy one play with nonetheless.
Any pictures of the results of the time spent in IC?

I was just at the Omega Shop yesterday...and I got to play with one of the original Proto-types.....
very cool! 8^)
I think they will be a cool addition to the dozens of other cams that are [gereralizing]basically the same[/end gerneralizing] right now. This has a totally differnet look and feel. Will be cool to have.
BTW, nice new digs guys (omegapac) I look forward to stopping by after all is built and the production is goign on and I can watch soem stuff (hopefully) Thanx Tom 8^)
