Rollercam Product Engineering & Design
-
What makes Rollercam® the best cam straps?
Our patented roller design eliminates friction between the cam and webbing, allowing for higher tension with less effort. This innovation gives you a secure hold without the hassle, making Rollercam® the go-to for tough tasks, from securing gear to hitting the open trail.
-
What materials are used in Rollercam® Cam Buckles?
Our cam buckle body and thumb release are made from corrosion-resistant Zamak 2 alloy, known for its strength and durability. The roller is crafted from marine-grade brass, and the springs, roller shaft, and thumb release shaft are stainless steel, ensuring performance and longevity.
-
What is the difference between Working Load and Max Load?
The Working Load is the maximum weight a Rollercam® strap can securely hold under normal conditions, which we set at 350 lbs. This is calculated using a safety factor of 3, meaning our Max Load is approximately three times the Working Load. While Max Load indicates the theoretical maximum capacity, Working Load represents the safe, recommended limit for regular use, ensuring reliability and minimizing risk.
-
How well does Rollercam® handle saltwater andharsh environments?
With stainless steel, marine brass, and Zamak 2 alloy components, Rollercam® straps are built for salt exposure and rough conditions. Based in Salt Lake City, we test for durability in environments with high salt content. Occasional silicone spray can help keep things running smoothly.
-
What type of webbing is used in Rollercam® straps?
Our Expedition and Classic straps use a UV-resistant, high-tenacity polypropylene blend. This webbing resists water absorption and maintains a firm grip even when wet, ensuring reliability in challenging conditions.
-
What’s the difference between the Classic and Expedition models?
The main difference is color. The Classic model features a blue base with yellow length markers, while the Expedition model has a graphite base with orange markers. Both offer the same high-performance polypropylene webbing.

Why is there a Prop 65 warning on Rollercam® products?
Our products contain brass components, which may expose users to trace amounts of lead, a chemical listed under Prop 65 as causing cancer and reproductive harm. This warning ensures full compliance with California regulations.
