Based on popular demand, we now provide a security tether solution for users of our Cotton Carrier system. Installation could not be more simple: attach the strap end to the eyelet of your camera body and the other end to the shoulder strap loop of your Cotton Carrier.

• The Cotton Carrier Camera System involves moving parts that must be maintained periodically. Install and tighten the Camera Insert as TIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE, as this is what keeps your camera securely attached to your Cotton Carrier. Check it until you are satisfied it is not loosening through the turning action of the camera.
• As well as confirming the condition of both the camera insert and camera receiver for any signs of wear or damage, keep both the Lexan Camera Receptacle and Camera Insert clean and free of any grit and debris, and clean it regularly as you would with any camera component.

We now offer compatibility with the Arca Swiss-compatible, Manfrotto, Gitzo and other brands of quick release tripod systems with our Universal Adapter Plate (model #755CUP.3).  

IMPORTANT: Along with using an Allen Key to secure your Cotton Carrier Camera Hub, we strongly recommend you use a thread locker, such as LocTite® 425 ONLY, as this is a fast curing, low strength adhesive for locking metal and plastics fasteners. If you have any spillage, it is advised to use an Acetone cleaner for any excess.

Although it should not be required with sufficient tightening of the camera hub that causes compression of the rubber washer, you may wish to use an added measure of security to keeping your camera hub on by using a NON-PERMANENT, PLASTIC SAFE Thread Locker (e.g. LocTite 425).

Other LocTite® or similar products may not be suitable for use, and are not recommended.
