    first I will say that I exclusively use BD cams and nuts. When I checked DMM's web site, they suggested that their new 2 axle Dragon cams are the strongest and lightest. They say they did tests with the wire loop style handle assembly and found that it tore through the nylon webbing under some very high forces and thus selected the thumb end type like the old Camalot I understand this is why BD uses the doubled over webbing sling. I did notice the Dragon cams were nice and light.
