The issue with the purple one is that the amount of distance between the lobes and trigger is not large enough when the cam is in its smallest position. With the larger cams (yellow and red sizes) the crack is large enough for the trigger to go into the crack allowing you to place the cam far back into the crack pointing straight down. With the purple one you are not able to fit the large ass trigger into the crack so you have to compromise with cam depth and the angle in which the cam points in vertical cracks. On overhangs or horizontal cracks this problem does not really exist. But in vertical cracks its a PITA to get the cam far enough back into the rock and still keep the cam pointed down without the trigger levering itself against the rock opening the lobes. Yep, That would suck. How is it for pin scars? Not sure, I have never placed one in a pin scar. I am thinking its too large for one though.
