DMM Dragonfly Cams

The Dragonfly Cams feature a narrow head width designed specifically to fit into tight pockets and irregular cracks where wider cam heads would bottom out. Combined with the 13.75° camming angle, they provide a secure, stable placement in features that are often too small for traditional protection.

The flexible stem cable is engineered to absorb movement, which significantly reduces the likelihood of the cam walking deeper into a crack once placed. This flexibility allows the cam to sit more naturally in the rock, even when the rope is moving.

The raw aluminum TripleGrip lobes are machined with a specific surface texture that bites into smooth, polished rock. This provides extra friction and security on surfaces like limestone or slate where standard, smoother lobes might be more prone to sliding.

The 11mm Dynatec sling is extendable, which is incredibly useful for reducing rope drag on wandering routes or extending placements around sharp edges. While you don't need to extend it every time, having the option built directly into the cam saves you from carrying extra quickdraws or alpine slings.

Yes, they are an excellent choice for a first rack because of their versatility and ease of use. The ergonomic thumb loop and trigger make them simple to place and clean, even when you are wearing gloves or are pumped on a difficult climb.
