One thing thatīs different about this strap is the weight, or should I say weights.
The carbon strap weighs ~9.5 grams.

In addition to that you can add 6 brass weights. The small weights weigh ~12 grams. The large weights ~15 grams.
So you can choose what weights you want and where to add them.

When all weights are added the strap weighs ~87 grams. Each weight is secured with a countersunk screw. The weights are of course shaped like the holes in the strap. Gives them no chance to move sideways.

Overdesigned? Yes. Unique? Probably. And that is, in my opinion, a classic Tamiya inspired design.

Note! Prototype parts.







Final product will have weight and logo engraved. Note that "my" T-star logo might be replaced with different one...

They are already available
