Review Summary
Here's what customers have to say
The Black Diamond Z4 Offset cams are praised for their versatility and performance in a variety of crack systems. The offset design and thin lobes allow for secure placements in flared cracks, pods, and pin scars where other cams may not work as effectively. Reviewers highlight the smooth trigger pull, flexible yet rigid stem, and lightweight construction as key features. While a few noted potential issues with the smallest sizes, the overall consensus is that the Z4 Offsets are excellent additions to any trad climbing rack, providing reliable protection in tricky crack systems.

Excellent cam
Love the bendy neck. Really makes you feel more confident making the insecure placements. The offset works great on granite.

Incredible design
I had used the metolius master cams for the small sizes in my rack for years. The new z4 design is amazing and I'm now 100% converted.

Industry standard
Lobes are soft leading to good grip but reduced durability, but all around they're hard to beat

Excellent, not a specialty piece
These offsets are well built and are solid in flares and pods. Recently many have opted for totems instead, but two good lobes and two bad lobes aren't a substitute for four good lobes in a flare. Placing the z4 feels excellent, the trigger feels smooth and precise even when pumped.

brilliant!
LOVE these for Yosemite, but great everywhere. flaring placements are a slam dunk with the off sets. I tell people to buy an offset before they buy a second of any size, because you can be inventive and make them work more places than either the size above or below them.

Solid pro
Your microcam collection really isn't complete unless you include offsets. With the small expansion range offsets can be bomber where straight cams catch only 2 or 3 lobes

Can they get any better?!
Bought my first set of Z4 Offsets after using C4/X4’s for years and I’m so impressed. The tiny changes like stem , textured/narrower lobes and new style trigger wire guard is really nice. Kind of thinking I need a whole set of Z4 micro cams as well now.

Perfect in almost all situations
The thin lobes and offset sizing always places really well in flares, eyebrows, and pods. I always carry a rack these days with the 3 smallest on one oval. In the alpine these are my go to double rack addition. The low profile slings are and added bonus for lightness
