I like that people still fiddle round with mechanical stuff in their shed, trying to come up with game changing climbing gear. However, this contraption is not going to fly.

Which existing problem is this design solving? Do I need more range on my cams? I wouldn't turn it down if it came for free, but with added weight and cost and loss of other functionality? Forget about it. Just look how much material is in there, and the number of machining and assembly steps. $300 minimum if they ever get it into production.

I don't even own Link Cams because they only make sense in one scenario (you have to admit that showing up to Indian Creek with 15 yellow link cams, a few blues and greys, and nothing else would make you feel like a boss).

On the other hand, Totems are reasonably comparable to regular cams in price and weight, and just better. When that patent runs out in a decade or so there will be Wild Country and Black Diamond Totem copies, I would bet money on it.
