Full details
The DMM Dragon Cam in Size 0 is designed for climbers seeking enhanced security in challenging rock conditions. Its innovative TripleGrip lobes offer increased friction and bite, crucial for slick or soft rock, while the dual-axle design provides a broad expansion range for marginal placements.

Troubleshooting
Cam lobes not engaging smoothly
Ensure the cam is clean and free of debris. Check for any damage to the lobes or axles. Lubrication might be necessary for stiff stems.
Difficulty placing cam in irregular cracks
Utilize the full expansion range and 360° flexibility of the dual-axle design. Experiment with different orientations to find the most secure placement.
Observed wear on cam lobes
Thoroughly inspect the lobes for significant damage or deformation. If wear compromises the lobe's integrity or shape, the cam should be retired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The DMM Dragon Cam is ready for use out of the box. Ensure it is correctly oriented within the crack, with the axles perpendicular to the direction of pull and the lobes engaging the rock face evenly.
Compatibility: This cam is designed for use in cracks ranging from 16mm to 25mm. It is compatible with standard climbing harnesses and quickdraws. Always ensure that the cam is appropriately sized for the placement.
Care: After each use, clean the cam lobes and axles of any dirt, mud, or debris using a brush. A mild soap and water solution can be used for more thorough cleaning, followed by thorough drying. Inspect the sling, carabiner attachment points, and cam lobes for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and corrosive chemicals.
