I've also started using the NutStrap only for lighter loads. Where do you recommend to buy higher quality nylon fittings online - suggetions?

It's now a lot easier to release one-handed. http://flickr.com/photos/92778554@N00/3242890810/ I modded the cam buckle, by Dremeling the teeth down and putting a bevel on the cam.

On mine, I use the cam as a camera slide stop only, not as a strap length adjuster. If it fails, it's not a huge deal (well, i guess it is if my camera slides forward into something hard). Wes here.

Nice work on the custom anchor! Just watch it for loosening, personally I'd advise making the the nut with two stage locking on the main screw, or a secondary, small grub screw. Also be aware of highly variable quality of nylon fittings - I'm thinking of the cam. They can pop open or fail under duress, this is why we use ladder locks on that part of the strap. It's great you have clued into the "systemability" of the Industry Disgrace strap - it's something we're also exploring. BBB))) Intriguing! Nice work on the custom anchor!
