I added trango big bros and the new 2019 C4s (even though they only differ in weight)

Thanks so much for making this!!

Is it possible to add multiple of the same cam so I can see how 'fleshed out' my rack is for any given size?

Andy, agree with the community, thank you so much for making this...best resource out there by far.  I have a few suggestions as well.  Happy to help you make my suggestions if you want to provide me with access.  

1.)  Can you update or add the wild country zeros with the new models coming out in a few weeks?  They have drastically different specs and colors than the old ones.  
2.)  Can you also add Z4 Offsets and
3.)  Fixe Alien Revo Offsets

For the WC zeros, Wade has provided a few specs throughout this thread:  https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/118029262/wild-country-zero-friends-review?page=3#ForumMessage-118580030. There are also specs on some of the retailer's sites

For the Z4 and Fixe Alien revo offsets - you can probably grab a majority of the data from their sites.

This is so badass.

+1 for Andy being awesome.

To add to the request for offset info, can you add Metolius Ultralight Offset Mastercams?  Assuming you are using specs from the website, here's the link.

Thanks!

Added the WC Zero Friends.

How do offset ranges work?  Are the ranges for the smaller lobe?  the larger lobe?  Does it make sense to represent offset ranges in the same chart as standard ranges, or should they be differentiated somehow?

Very awesome site!  Can you add the Merlin and Valley Giant cams now that you have the big bros up?

Michael Atlas · · Charlotte, NC · Joined Apr 2014 · Points: 85

I would just represent offsets as spanning the whole range of both colors

Wish I had found this a few weeks ago! I went and basically did the same thing at ​camsizes.com​​​. Oh well, it was fun.

Might be time for another update, eh?

I think the 7 and 8 are real (someone mentioned that they were showing in stock and that they placed an order for them).  Technically the 21 is real as well, looks like Alex could have been actually climbing on it.

Hey everyone, I just pushed a new update to the cam-parison.com :

1. The ruler at the top now scrolls with the page, so scrolling down no longer hides it.

2. Many cams are now hidden by default.  You can still see these cams by clicking "Choose Cams" and then either manually selecting the ones you want or clicking "Select all".  This change enables adding larger cams and more obscure cam brands without overcrowding or blowing out the range on the default view.  The cams I hid by default are mostly discontinued cams (like the WC tech friends), extremely large cams (like the largest big bro sizes), and cams that are more accurately categorized as fixed gear (like the omega link cams)

3. I added valley giants, merlin rock, and the 7&8 camalots (all of which are hidden by default due to their outrageous sizing)

As always, feedback is welcome!

Andy, you are the man.  Still hands down the best comparison tool out there
