Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Unlike any other camming device available, the Omega Pacific Link Cam includes two additional pivot points on each lobe to create an unprecedented expansion range. No more scratching your head wondering what you'll need for the pitch above you. These cams cover fingers to hands with only two sizes. Throughout their range, the Omega Pacific Link Cams hold a consistent angle to maintain a burly 14kN strength rating."

From Oregon Mountain Community:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Omega Pacific Link Cam #0.75 (Fall 2009) Specifications for the Link Cam #.75 by Omega Pacific: Range: 13.5-35.0 mm / .53 - 1.38 inches Strength: 10 kN Weight: 113 grams / 4.0 oz Length: 164 mm / 6.47 inches Width: 46 mm / 1.81 inches"

From REI:
"Omega Pacific®'s revolutionary Link Cam can help you minimize your rack and maximize your potential. With a camming ratio of over 2.5:1, the Link Cam can cover the same range as up to four standard cams--lighten your rack! Larger range eliminates the need for specialized, offset cams for flared-crack protection while higher surface area contact lessens "walking" of cam. Patented, hinged cam lobes collapse even further during retraction for easier "plug and go" placements. Maintaining a constant cam angle of 13.5°, Link Cams achieve a wide range without sacrificing holding power. Built with a hybrid blend of materials and advanced metal-injection molding process, Link Cams offer the ultimate in strength and versatility. Made with 17-4 aircraft stainless steel on the inner links and lightweight 7000-series aluminum on the outer link lobes. Cross-cabling and "Swivlet" connectors ensure smooth trigger action and increased range. Lightweight, rugged Spectra slings for lasting service and reliability. Link Cams are great for that crux move, just grab, place and relax!"

Link Cam
Reviewed by Dhgold, Sep 05, 2007

"The larger (gold) LinkCam has quickly become an indispensable piece on my rack. Its range runs from all of . 75, #1 & #2 Camalot as well as much of a . 5; while heavy for a single cam, it weighs less than any of those two combined.

Uses:

It's absolutely the ticket on pitches where you need a few pieces from a wide range of sizes."
