A relatively old product that continues to be a very versatile protection system. The ''tripod'' configuration guarantees a remarkable strength and stability in many types of placement: parallels cracks, flares, horizontal cracks, holes and pockets.
The first four sizes of Tri cams are now available with dyneema tape. The cams are anodized in a unique colour for each size, matching the classic Tri cam tape colours.

The photos give an impression of the placement possibilities.
Passive: as a passive protection the TriCam functions similar to a nut.
Active: If the sling is pulled, it induces siceways force due to the TriCam-shape, so it will allow a greater holding force.
