I want some mini-flexible cams and became interested in the zeros. I've read some reviews, but I want to hear about them from the majority.
If you use them or have used them let me know what you thought?
thanks

i have a set and have used them for both aid and free climbing.
the smallest two sizes are not intended for free climbing, but i've taken lead falls on the next to smallest and it's held every time.
for what they are, they're nice. their limited cam size and action are hard to beat. they will not however replace smaller tcu's and aliens in most cases though. my main complaint is the trigger bar. it's ridiculously small for my big hands and makes the overall operation a bit too clumsy for my tastes.
if you're thinking of purchasing them, i'd suggest buying the two largest sizes and climbing with them before going smaller. even then i would probably not suggest the two smallest sizes unless you'll be aiding.
hope that helps some.

I agree with socalbolter....the triggers are mini, but so far they have been durable. They rock for shallow placements that the smaller tech friends might lever out of on a fall. Plus they weigh nothing.....definitely get the 5 and 6, you won't regret that purchase......
later
