God, I wish I could plug a micro cam somewhere right now.

Nice, thanks, I missed this website. Basically the 3 smallest Z4 are smaller than the black Totem. Thanks again

I like my Aliens, or totem basics if you can get em (not the kalias ones)

The black totem is bomber but it's not that small compared to other cams, definitely compare sizes.

Or should I try to hunt down some C3s and probably overpay for used trustworthy cams. I am willing to spend some money but not looking to spend more than 200 on 4-3 micro cams 

Hey man, hope all is well since I climbed with you @ CRG.  The Z4's are IMO a nice compliment to fill in the sizes below the black totem.  The black alien roughly lines up with the red .1 Z4 so is also a nice compliment to your doubles.  Z4's are dirt cheap right now.


Ultimately, it comes down to preference for the most part, use cam-parison.com to understand min, max, and optimal size ranges of your cams and then buy appropriately to make a nice and balanced double rack.  Here's mine, lined up by size.  

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
