Frequently Asked Questions

It's all in our patented roller design. By eliminating the friction between the front of the cam and the webbing, the resultant force in the strap's tight end is higher than a standard cam buckle or cinch strap. The Rollercam® technology allows ease of use, higher resultant force, and even finesse when tightening objects such as graphite canoes, paddleboards, or even surfboards. Once you try the Rollercam® cam strap, you will never use another cam buckle again.

Both the body and the thumb release are die-cast from a corrosion-resistant Zamak 5 alloy. The roller is machined from marine brass. The two springs, roller shaft, and thumb release shaft are all made from stainless steel.

We recommend a working load not to exceed 350 lbs. Please always check the strap for wear and make sure your straps are in excellent condition. Fraying straps can severely weaken the overall performance of the cam strap.

We’re headquarters in Salt Lake City, where we have salt in the air and salt used on for snowmelt regularly. We all have Rollercams tied on to our vehicles to watch the effects of sun, water, salt, wear, etc. The materials used in the Rollercam® product line are Stainless Steel for the Springs, Thumb Release Shaft, and Roller Shaft.  The roller is made from marine brass, and the body is cast from Zamak 5.  In harsh conditions, we would give them an 8 out of 10, with the add of a couple of squirts of silicone spray, and they will be completely refurbished.

Both the Rollercam® Expedition and Classic straps utilize a proprietary blend of UV high-tenacity polypropylene webbing. Polypropylene is extremely hydrophobic and does not absorb water. Unlike polyester or nylon, polypropylene is very tactical to the touch and will not exhibit a slippery texture when wet. The weave is tighter than average, creating a unique texture and feel.

The significant difference between the Classic and Expedition Rollercam Straps is the color. Both the Classic and Expedition cam straps utilize a proprietary blend of UV high-tenacity polypropylene webbing. Rollercam® Classic has a blue base with a yellow accent for the length lettering. Rollercam® Expedition has a graphite base with an orange accent for the length lettering.

Absolutely. The individual cam measures 1″ wide with dual stainless steel springs and body cast from Zamak 5 with our signature Brass Roller. Buying individually is ideal for DIY projects.

The Rollercam® Hook Ends are available in 4′, 6′, 9′, 12′, 15′ and 20′. They come in our signature polypropylene in both Graphite and Black.

Both the Rollercam® Expedition and Classic come in 1′, 2′, 3′, 4′, 6′, 9′, 12′, 15′ and 20′. Both models are made from our signature polypropylene.

The Rollercam® Hook End cam straps come in both Polyester (Graphite or Black) and Polyester (Black, Blue, Green, Red, or Yellow).

Both Rollercam® Expedition and Rollercam® Classic can be purchased with sewn-in loops on each end. See our loop end option here. The Expedition and Classic models do not come with hooks, but our hook end options can be viewed here.

Only the Expedition and Classic models of Rollercam® have the length woven into the strap. Shop Classic here. Shop Expedition here.

Passed into law by California’s voters in 1986, Prop 65 is intended to help California residents make informed decisions about the products they buy. The law states that companies selling products in California must display a warning when the product contains one or more of the approximately 800 chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive harm.

By placing the Prop 65 warning on a product, Rollercam® acknowledges that it contains one or more of the chemicals on the Prop 65 list, however the listed chemical may be well within the “no significant risk” range. Rollercam® has not evaluated every product but out of caution, we include the warning.

The label simply indicates that the product contains the chemical and because of that, there is a potential for exposure to it. The California government states: “The fact that a product bears a Proposition 65 warning does not mean by itself that the product is unsafe.” The government explains, “You could think of Proposition 65 more as a ‘right to know’ law than a pure product safety law.”

For example, Rollercams® contain brass. Exposure to brass is not itself harmful. However lead is a component of brass and should the brass be disrupted, a user could potentially come in contact with the lead. While the lead levels fall below the “no significant risk” range, Rollercam® is still required to acknowledge its presence.

The Prop 65 list contains a wide range of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals that are known to California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. They may be additives or ingredients in pesticides, common household products, food, drugs, dyes or solvents. They may be used in manufacturing and construction, or be the byproducts of chemical processes. Proposition 65 requires that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of these harmful chemicals, and update it annually.

According to the state of California:

A chemical is listed if it has been classified as a reproductive toxicant or carcinogen by an "authoritative" organization on the subject. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the National Toxicology Program, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer are considered authoritative for carcinogens. For reproductive toxicants, appropriate authorities include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and International Agency for Research on Cancer. Chemicals will also be listed if they are required to be labeled or identified as a carcinogen or as a reproductive toxicant by an agency of the state or federal government.
