Aliens and Link Cams have had failures too, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to use them anymore. I don't think we can judge a company just because of a picture of one broken cam. I know huh. People seem to be judging a perfectly good company from one picture. I saw a destroyed #2-BD because it was a dumbass placement and a loose block shifted its weight onto the cam... Maybe, just maybe this happened due to expansion/contraction of the rock within a normal temperature fluctuation. Or maybe the person who placed the cam was panicked, and made a poor placement that was irretrievable.
i dont get the impression that folks are concerned about the quality of RE cams over this particular cam- i think that RE cams kinda already have a rep for being a generic, so-so cam....so, a mangled one is NBD, and people are just taking advantage of a fun pic.
this thread is nothing like the CCH threads of yore...

I broke a RE pulsar cam. When I contacted the company they offered me a new one at a discount price that is substantially more than what you can get them through acme/climb axe for.
Fuck those guys.

Those flexor are nice looking cams. I would start to consider Rock Empire now that they are improving things.

Dude, safety aside, that is a beautiful photo of a busted cam. Love the colors and vignetting.

I'm not so sure about robots but i quite like my Durangos a.k.a. Re flexs a.k.a Trango flexes.
But its ok you guys shouldn't like them. I want the price to stay where it is.

I have noticed the exact opposite.
Heat makes the rock expand. Cold makes the rock contract.
Ice in the cracks will make a crack expand.
