help DMM Dragonfly Offset Belay Device FAQ
Is the DMM Dragonfly Offset a belay device?
No. DMM lists Dragonfly Offsets as micro cams for climbing protection, with EN 12276:2013 certification, not rope belay devices with assisted braking. [DMM Dragonfly Offsets](https://dmmwales.com/products/dragonfly-offsets)
Why use Dragonfly Offset cams in flared cracks or pin scars?
Their two lobes have different sizes, so one cam can fit an irregular taper where a standard symmetric cam may not. DMM also uses narrow heads, a 13.75 degree camming angle, and raw-aluminum TripleGrip surfaces. [DMM Dragonfly Offsets](https://dmmwales.com/products/dragonfly-offsets)
Which Dragonfly Offset size covers the smallest cracks?
The 2/3 red and yellow size covers 8.7-12.9 mm on one lobe and 10.2-15.1 mm on the other, weighs 56 g, and is rated 6 kN. The 5/6 silver and purple size covers 15.1-22.5 mm and 19-28.3 mm, weighs 71 g, and is rated 9 kN. [DMM Dragonfly Offsets](https://dmmwales.com/products/dragonfly-offsets)
How is it different from a standard DMM Dragonfly?
The standard Dragonfly uses matching lobe sizes, while the Offset pairs different lobe sizes for non-parallel cracks. Both are micro cams in DMM's Dragon family, but the Offset is specialized for flares and pin scars. [DMM Dragonfly Offsets](https://dmmwales.com/products/dragonfly-offsets)
