I did not see any Orion 150lb listed. Was this an oversight? Reason I ask, is there are two listed on ebay; one as Orion 150 and the other as Orion Extreme, with 150lb in specs. First looks gen 3 cam, 2nd, gen 5 cams. It's also likely the listers have them listed wrong.
 
With the arrival of the Tremor and the new let-off cam, it appears we officially have the Gen 8 cam... (y)
I would like to see a thread explaining Let-off cams.
What let off is
Which cams are let-off cams (I assume 1-7 gen are not, but they say never assume)
Is it the design of the cable cam or string cam or both?
How much let-off (percent) the cam gives.
Pros?
Cons?
What model Scorpyds have let-off cams
 
Thanks for the reply Ventilator! I must have missed the Orion 150 under gen three cams. The eBay listing looked like gen 5 cams to me from your pictures. It had black limbs and camo stock, they listed it as 150lb. The other one with camo limbs showed ORION 150# on the inside of a limb. I was also looking for Orion Extreme, since that what's what the seller posted.

When I clicked on your screen name the pop that appeared said you are not allowed access, or something like that. I guessed you barred all private messages.
 
I've seen ebay listings of both vents and orion's, that according to our own Ventilator, were never made in the configurations listed. I would put my faith in Ventilator being correct over any ebay seller. If in doubt, shoot him a message, I'm sure he would know.
I tried to send a message, it appears I am not allowed :unsure::(
One of the eBay listings had a picture of the back side of the limb that said: ORION 150# READ OWNERS MANUAL BEFORE USING
The other, listed as Scorpyd Orion Extreme, had 150lb listed as draw weight in the "Item Specifics" section of the description. If had a camo stock and black limbs. I have no idea if they came this way or had stock or limbs swapped?
