Does this cam strap fit 12L aluminium tanks and will it work with other brands of BCD?

Zhi Wei Lim –
The cam strap is easy to use even with gloves, and holds my tank very securely. The plastic buckle feels lighter on my travel setup, but still strong. Really appreciate the non-slip pad backing—it keeps everything in place for my wreck dives.

Nurul Aini Ahmad –
The strap works as advertised but after some use, I noticed a bit of fraying at the end. Not affecting performance yet, just thought I should mention.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your honest review, Nurul Aini. Light fraying can sometimes happen with heavy use, but it should not compromise safety as long as the integrity of the strap remains intact. If the fray worsens or you need a replacement, please reach out and we’ll be glad to help.
