Nicholas Metz's review
Totem cams are on the pricier side, but they are awesome. I almost always carry some on my rack. My most used sizes are black, blue, yellow, and purple. They mostly follow the classic color scheme of cam sizes, except for the yellow totem (.4) and the black totem (Between a .2 and .3).
