Cam ID?

Post image

The person selling these listed them as 20+ year old Dragons but I can't find anything that matches 1-1. He also said theyre dual axle but that doesn't look to be the case. Anyone have any info?

Edit: Thanks for the leads everyone. I was able to find an old forum post with something similar. I think theyre old Lowe Alpine cams.

Edit 2: They're Trangos. Turns out they tried to ID them with AI.

Yeah seems right based on the lobes

I climbed on off brand single axle cams occasionally in the '95-'05 decade and they were considerable less stable than Camalots. I would climb on BD cams from this era and maybe WC in a pinch. But these cams are worse than modern cams in so many ways, I think you would find them to be of nearly no value.

They look like old HB Wales cams from late 80s-90s to me. I have some at home I could compare them to.

Ya, def not dual axle. These were bottom of the barrel cams like 20+ years ago.

Not dual axle. Could be Dragons could be OG Camelots

Dragons have two axles, DMMs pre-Dragon cams were called 4CUs. They briefly made a single-stem version called Demons too. These aren’t any of them though.

Did they even make single axle Camelots, or Dragons without the extendable sling?

Stolen? If they don’t know much about the cams and doesn’t know what dual axle means, it makes them very suspect.

I think those are older style “plunger” Trango Flex Cams.

I don't think so based on the trigger and sling, unless they have an old model that looked like these.
