DMM Dragon Cam Size 0 - Silver | Lightweight Dual-Axle Cam

Overview

Meet the DMM Dragon Cam Size 0 in silver, a climbing cam crafted to balance reach, security, and lightness. Built around a single stem with dual axles, this design unlocks a broader camming range than traditional single-axis units, making it a versatile choice for varied placements on rock and in crack systems.

The cam follows Ray Jardine's classic 13.75-degree constant camming angle, a setup that blends gripping power with controlled travel between positions. In practice, this means you can cover more ground in tight cracks and ramps while still seating firmly when loaded, giving you flexibility on mixed routes.

Structure, materials, and weight

Hot forging shapes the cam lobes for sizes 1–6, delivering a precise, bite-ready profile in A6082 alloy. This combination yields strong bite without excess mass, contributing to a compact, lightweight unit—85 g for Size 0. Strong springs help keep the cam secure in placements and reduce the risk of walking on slick surfaces.

Performance highlights

• Extended camming range thanks to a dual-axle design
• Easy handling with a dedicated thumb grip and trigger bar
• Rated strength of 12 kN for dependable protection
• Low weight, ideal for long routes and fast setups

Field use and care

In the terrain, the Dragon Cam adapts to a variety of crack widths and orientations, offering a blend of hold and range that can assist confident placements on challenging terrain. Regular inspection, clean springs, and proper seating are recommended to maintain performance. The dual-axle concept helps keep the unit seated even when load shifts, aiding stability in dynamic placements.

Notes for climbers

This cam is a robust addition to your rack, best used where geometry supports camming action. It complements other protection options and should be chosen in concert with the route’s protection plan and rock conditions.
