It doesn't exist.

The largest alien is just a hair smaller than the #2 camalot. Basically it's a 2.5 friend that doesn't suck.

maybe you mean .3 camalot? you could probably figure this out for yourself by comparing spec on the company websites. then again if there's any truth to your screen name that might be too much work.

A .3 camalot is equivalent to a blue or green alien.

A waaaay tipped out clear alien will fit into the same sized placement as an over-cammed #3 camalot.

Just a shade larger than green. A .3 is much larger than a blue alien.

Aliens are nice in that size because the head width is logical with the size of the cam. Small camalots are pretty unwieldy outside of the desert.
