Nite Ize CamJam Tie-Down Strap – Secure Heavy Loads with Confidence

When heavy loads need to stay exactly where you put them, the Nite Ize CamJam Tie-Down Strap delivers the confidence you need. This innovative securing system combines an elegant design with rugged materials to provide functionality, ease of use, and ultra-security for demanding applications .

Engineered for Strength and Reliability

The CamJam features a high-density woven polypropylene strap that is securely attached to a die-cast zinc alloy cam mechanism with four bar tack stitches for exceptional strength . The mechanism includes a zinc alloy housing and a center pivot pin with a stainless steel torsion spring that activates an integrated webbing capture ring . This system provides a working load limit of 700 lb and a break strength of 2,100 lb, making it suitable for securing a wide variety of loads .

Controlled Release for Safety

A standout feature of the CamJam is its ability to release tension gradually, even under high load force. The webbing capture ring on the cam mechanism enables controlled release, preventing the sudden and dangerous unloading that can occur with conventional cam-lock devices . The non-slip buckle latches securely while allowing adjustment when needed .

Versatile Configurations for Different Needs

The CamJam can be used in two primary configurations :

• Loop Configuration: The basic configuration where the free end of the webbing is constrained by the mechanism to create a fixed loop for securing your load .

• Lockout Configuration: Extends functionality by allowing selective positioning of the CamJam mechanism along the webbing loop. This enables anchoring to a location such as a vehicle roof rack without requiring engagement of the mechanism itself, preventing inadvertent movement while arranging objects. It also provides up to a 3-to-1 mechanical tensioning advantage .

Durable Materials and Thoughtful Design

The strap is constructed from waterproof, high-density woven polypropylene webbing that resists moisture and wear . An integrated protective pad underneath the cam mechanism protects the surface and finish of the gear being secured . The webbing features an angled end for easy threading and intuitive operation in any configuration . Sewn-in color-coded tags allow for quick identification of strap length .

Reliable Performance for a Wide Range of Applications

The CamJam is ideal for securing kayaks, paddleboards, motorcycles, lumber, furniture, appliances, and equipment . It is also an excellent choice for securing canoes to vehicle racks, with users reporting strong performance even in challenging conditions such as crosswinds and long-distance travel .

Customer Feedback and Quality Considerations

Users have praised the CamJam for its holding power and ease of use. One reviewer noted that the straps held a motorcycle securely even after 50 miles on bumpy roads without slipping . Another user highlighted the controlled release mechanism, stating that unlike many similar straps, it does not loosen over time . The lockout configuration has been described as useful for securing objects to roof racks without the mechanism sliding around during setup .

However, some users have reported concerns about the strap's durability. A number of reviews mention fraying or shredding of the webbing after limited use, with fraying sometimes making it difficult to thread the strap through the buckle . While some users have not experienced these issues, the reported quality control concerns may be worth considering when making a purchasing decision.
