Production Progress... Strength in Nylon

Update #14 · Jan 27, 2013 · 3 comments

We're excited to offer an update on the nylon strap assembly.  We're moving ahead with this awesome upgrade to the CamCuff and the design has been through a few cycles this week.

To ensure the overall strength of the strap assembly, we've incorporated a braided 10-strand rope as the cord loop.  At about 1/8-inch diameter, this rope has super-strength (hundreds of lbs in tensile strength), and remains thin enough to attach securely to most point-and-shoot cameras as well as DSLR rigs.

We've also moved from the solid injected plastic form we posted in earlier updates to a snap assembly that will be moulded in two separate parts.  This will improve quality control during manufacture.

Here is a rendering of the new nylon strap assembly's exterior.  We'll post photos and video of the stress tests once the prototype arrives.

Rock on!

David
