Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

davidof, there was an American tagging along with us on the Col des Cristaux today who had some Plum bindings on his Black Crows - seemed pretty happy with them. Interesting to see a potential competitor to Dynafit coming along for 'mainstream touring' as opposed to super-light rando race kit.

Great videos davidof, thanks for making / posting them.
I noticed you called the bindings "Plum" like the fruit. I understood they want to be known as "Plum" comme Plume?
Shame about the weather

There's the G3 Onyx (Dynafit binding with the weight of a Marker Duke . Trab are working on some strange binding too but when I spoke with Trab in December "it wasn't ready yet". I think the "anglo saxon" market will be important for Felisaz/Plum.
ATK have a Dynafit compatible binding too, very very light with 3 toe release as well as heel release in 2 planes. Neither ATK nor Dynafit are TuV/DIN approved but I've never had any major issues with Dynafit release but I don't ski like a loony either.
How big were the black crows?

davidof, The Onyx always seemed like a strange mixture to me - certainly the weight of it puts it off my list for a 'pin-style' touring binding...
The Crows were fairly big (100ish underfoot by the looks of things) - not too savvy on their specific models.
