Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Nite Ize SS-SMS-9001203 CamJam Cord Tightener - Black, Single Pack: Efficient and Reliable Tightening Solution by Simo Whisperer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A serious design flaw makes it unusable in many cases

. I'm amazed that the design team, who are so obviously talented, overlooked such a big problem with their design. that they would not contain the necessary simple solution; and that almost nobody commented on it. --> The problem is that the part of the line that is pulled out easily slips out of the nock. In fact, it will always slip out if not activated. If you can hold the cam jam with one hand and pull it out with the other, you can manually control this offset and force the cable to stay in its intended path. But if you're pulling from afar, it's almost hopeless. I've had slightly better results by wrapping the stretched end around the stretched portion once or twice. Then the tension keeps the cord in its path. But it still popped up frequently and reset the entire download. I bought two sizes of Cam Jam and had the same issue with both. A simple solution that is needed is a "keeper" hook to prevent the cord from coming out of the outlet. how it is drawn. This would be an easy addition to the design. SOLUTION: To remotely tighten the cable, you can use the McGyver Cable Tie with a large paper clip. Unfold the clip and then form a small loop at one end. Bend this loop at right angles to the rest of the wire. Pass both pieces of cord through the loop. Then bend the rest of the wire through the Cam Jam carabiner in any way you like to keep it attached. Now when you pull on the free end of the cord, the metal loop will prevent that part from slipping out of the nock. Again, a similar hook should be part of the base cam jam. This is an amazing design flaw. Maybe she'll be in Cam Jam II.
