My Black Alien Cam from Colorado Custom Hardware has finally arrived! A few weeks back I bought the 0 and 00 C3′s from Black Diamond both because they were on sale and because I was starting to think I was never going to get my Alien. The C3′s are good and have their place, but there are placements where you just can’t beat the Alien.
I like how small Aliens are basically full strength compared to most similarly sized pieces of protection. Here’s a quick table showing rated strenghts amongst smaller cams.
| Manufacturer | Model / Size | Weight | Range (in) | Rated Strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Colorado Custom Hardware | Alien .33 | 64g | 0.33 – 0.55 | 1860 lbf – 8kN |
| Black Diamond | C3 00 | 55g | 0.35 – 0.54 | 1349 lbf – 6kN |
| Wild Country | Zero 3 | 44g | 0.33 – 0.48 | 1349 lbf – 6kN |
| Metolius | Master Cam 00 | 62g | 0.34 – 0.47 | 1120 lbf – 5kN |
0.33 – 0.48
