I wanted to hang my camera from the ceiling so I designed this thing.
Don't use it for climbing or lifting exceedingly heavy and valuable things.
If you do: I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RISKY/DANGEROUS USE
Cheap 4mm diameter PP rope works well with this.
Useful knots for loops here:

ugly but very useful -- strongly related to zeppelin knot and hunter knotInterlocking bight knots:

Avoid the most widely known knots. These unfortunately are the worst ones.
