I'm building my first rack and I've never used MP forums, but was told this is a good place to find C3 cams. So far, I have a single rack .4-3 WC Friends as well as a black Totem. I learned To lead on a rack with C3 cams and have fallen in love. Since I have a black totem now all I need seems to be the micro cams. I don't love Z4 or most other modern micro cams. The skinny necks weird me out. Please let me know if anyone has leads on C3s or other good recommendations for cams smaller than the black Totem. Thank you! <3 |

Hi Fiona. I have red (#1) and green (#0) C3s I'll sell. I got them with a used rack of BD cams I bought. It looks to me like they've been racked but never placed or fallen on - cam lobes are in great shape. Seller had BD replace the slings on all the used cams in November or December 2024 so these are in like new condition. $170 shipped. I can add photos later today. Edit. Photos added |

Msg received loud and clear FWK. Sale pending to Fiona and won't happen until payday next week. If not sold to Fiona, I will let you know they are available. Cheers |

Fiona, go buy a lottery ticket because this (someone looking for C3s and actually finding them) never happens |

I’ve been on the hunt for a purple and grey for a year and a half. Although I didn’t pony up for the guy selling the grey for $190 |

I have a set I could let go of for $500. Pm me! |

Still waiting for Fiona to purchase these. FWK, are you still interested? |

Cosmic Hotdogwrote: I found plenty of c3's here, all except grey because I didn't want to pay the price and missed the boat on the cheaper ones. Since the start of the summer I found all but grey here |

The Z4's will give you similar sizes, head width, and they're readily available and occasionally on sale. I think the C3 fever needs to break. https://blog.weighmyrack.com/2020-black-diamond-z4-cams-z4-offset-cams/ |

Peter Lwrote: Z4s seem to get an irrational amount of hate on MP, but I like them quite a bit. The rigidflex does what it says on the box and they're nice to place. There's a hyperfixation on the plastic casing but as far as I can tell it just protects the trigger wires - the stiffness comes from the tension in the trigger wires themselves. I don't mind the hate though, easy to pick them up here on the cheap. The small sizes are a bit mushy but not something I notice while placing. Cam lube improves the action significantly. |
