Gamma Camelopardalis is a suspected wide binary star[10] system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from γ Camelopardalis, and abbreviated Gamma Cam or γ Cam. With a visual magnitude of 4.66,[3] it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of Script error: No such module "val". as seen from Earth,[2] this system is located about Script error: No such module "convert". from the Sun. It is drifting closer with a line of sight velocity of −2.8 km/s.[2]

The brighter primary, designated component A, is a white-hued A-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of A2 IVn.[5] It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 205 km/s. This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 17% larger than the polar radius.[8] It has about 3.4 times the mass of the Sun and 5.6 times the Sun's radius.[6] The star is radiating 185[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,892 K.[7]

The magnitude 9.07 secondary, BD+70 260, designated component C, lies at an angular separation of 106.00 arc seconds along a position angle of 85°, as of 2011. Component B is a magnitude 12.40 visual companion at a separation of 56.30 arc seconds along position angle 247°.[4]
