DMM Dragonfly Cams — Smallest Certified Micro Cams for Narrow Cracks

Meet Dragonfly Micro Cams

Dragonfly Micro Cams from DMM are crafted for protection in tight cracks and tiny pockets. The lineup begins with size 1, the smallest certified cam in the family, and advances through six sizes that span from 7.8 mm up to 28.3 mm. This range helps climbers tailor protection to the specific geometry of a pitch, especially when space is at a premium.

Designed to harmonize holding power with reach, the Dragonfly cams feature a steady camming angle of 13.75 degrees. This consistency across the set mirrors what climbers already value in other DMM products while adapting to micro placements. The result is a tool that can translate a challenging crack into a confident, repeatable protection option, without forcing the climber to compromise on placement depth or leverage.

Grip is where Dragonfly truly stands out. The TripleGrip lobes wear a rugged 'Raw Alu' surface that bites into smooth rock types like slate and limestone, reducing the chance of slipperiness when you need your cam most. The combination of a narrow head and a compact trigger keeps placement discreet and accessible in shallow pockets, enabling deeper positioning where bulkier cams would struggle.

Beyond grip, Dragonfly emphasis thoughtful ergonomics and reliability. The thumb loop and trigger are designed for natural handling, while the stem cable remains flexible to adapt to irregular rock faces. The sling is an extendable 11 mm Dynatec with a compact stitch, reducing bulk while maintaining strength. For climbers already using smaller Dragon Cams, the Dragonfly line offers compatibility that helps you build a cohesive protection system without sacrificing performance.

If you’re facing micro cracks, splitter pockets, or micro-edges, the Dragonfly Cams present a compact, capable option that complements a broader rack. They invite a careful, deliberate approach to protection—one that respects the rhythm of the climb and the texture of the rock—while expanding the range of placements you can confidently protect.
