Metolius Ultralight TCU

Metolius Ultralight TCU description

Using Direct Axle Technology, Metolius removed every unneeded scrap of material from the Ultralight TCU to make it as lightweight as possible while still maintaining the ultra-strong construction that Metolius is known for. The TCU's narrow head profile combined with the three-cam arrangement allows these cams to fit into very small pockets. Once they're in, the range finder tells you if your placement is goodor not so good. Spectra slings lighten these cams even further. After all, your gear is suppose to help you go up, not hold you down.

I finally broke down and bought some famous TCUs. The TCUs are light, obviously high quality and have great range for each size. The action is smooth once you get the lobes past the little hang up/hesitation area. Maybe this will go away with more use? Overall, excellent cams from Metolius that I'm looking forward to placing for many years.

These things are TINY and light...I have not placed (the yellow) one yet but I am sure It will be just like the older heavier brother. Great cams for horizontals.

TCU's are classic small cams - great price and a solid cam. I'd prefer these over the Black Diamond C3's. The range finder is helpful, if you need it.
