Metolius has continued to push design tolerances - they were the first to offer mini cams which went down to 1/2", then the first to offer #0 at .40", and the first #00 at .35". They also pioneered the milled-in cam stop which is now widely copied by other manufacturers.

3 Cam Specs
Cam Number	Range in Inches	Min. Breaking Str. (lbf) / (kN)	Weight (oz.)
00	0.35 - 0.53	1000 / 6kN	2.1
0	0.40 - 0.60	1000 / 6kN	2.2
1	0.50 - 0.75	2000 / 8kN	2.3
2	0.60 - 0.90	2000 / 8kN	2.5
3	0.75 - 1.10	3000 / 13kN	2.9
4	0.90 - 1.35	3000 / 13kN	3.2

Metolius' improved cam angle is focused on holding power - their reasoning being that all the extra range in the world doesn't matter if your cam pulls out. They also use thicker cams for increased surface area, which, together with the new angle means increased holding power throughout the cam's active range.

Metolius continues to use the superior (and much costlier) 7075 T- aluminum for their mini cams. Harder and longer wearing than the softer alloys, they feel it is the ultimate cam stock for these small-sized units.

Each and every Metolius cam is computer-milled out of solid aluminum for incredible precision down to +/- .005". Others cast or stamp the individual cams which means they have less control over their tolerances. Metolius designs continue to be the lightest in weight, easiest to place and they offer greater holding power throughout their active camming range.
