Oztent’s Positive Lock System™ is a secure, accessory mounting system exclusive to Oztent Series III Chairs. It uses a precision-engineered adapter to instantly attach durable Lock-On accessories – like side tables, mini lamps, and device holders – directly to the chair arm without any wobble.
Camp chairs are where the best outdoor memories happen. Sitting around a roaring fire, sharing stories with family, and relaxing under the stars all require a reliable, comfortable seat. While high-quality camp chairs already provide great comfort, campers have historically lacked the ability to truly customise their setup. Juggling a beverage, a mobile phone, and a plate of food on your lap can quickly turn a relaxing evening into a balancing act.
Oztent saw an opportunity to solve this common camping challenge. We set out to build a highly adaptable system that allows off-grid explorers and weekend campers alike to personalise their seating experience. Our goal was to create a modular setup that puts your most important items exactly where you reach for them.
The result is the Oztent Positive Lock System™. This innovation gives outdoor enthusiasts the power to attach premium accessories directly to the arm of their chair. Built for adventure and engineered with high-quality, durable materials, this system ensures your gear is ready for the elements. Let us explore how this exciting new feature will completely transform your next family camping trip!

How does the Oztent Positive Lock System™ work?
The brilliance of the Oztent Positive Lock System™ lies in its user-friendly convenience. Designed exclusively for Oztent Series III Chairs, the system utilises a precision-engineered adapter that acts as a highly secure mounting point. Outdoor enthusiasts can lock accessories into place in seconds. Each element attaches with absolute stability, meaning you never have to worry about wobbly tables or spilled drinks.
How does the system attach to soft-arm and hard-arm chairs?
Oztent engineers designed the locking adapter to integrate seamlessly across different chair styles. For Oztent Soft-Arm Chairs, the adapter is built directly into the fabric of the arm itself. For Oztent Hard-Arm Chairs, the adapter simply slides into a specially designed channel located at the end of the armrest. Both connection types offer a rigid, reliable hold that flexes where it should and stays firm where it matters most.

What Lock-On Accessories can you add to your Oztent setup?
The true power of the Oztent Positive Lock System™ comes from its versatile range of Lock-On accessories. Crafted from weather-tough polymer materials, these modular clips endure repeated swaps without any wear to the locking surfaces. They resist impact and harsh UV rays, ensuring they never warp or crack under the intense South African sun.
How does the Lock-On Mini Lamp improve campsite visibility?
If you need hands-free lighting to read a book or prepare a meal, the Oztent Lock-On Mini Lamp is the perfect solution. You simply click the lamp onto the chair adapter to illuminate your personal space. Because it features a clever grab-and-go design, you can also easily detach the lamp to navigate the campsite safely at night.
Why is the Lock-On Side Table essential for meal times?
Balancing food on your lap is a thing of the past. The Oztent Lock-On Side Table provides a sturdy, flat surface right at your fingertips. It holds plates, snacks, or playing cards securely. Engineered for strength, the side table remains rigid under load so you can dine with confidence.
How does the Lock-On Device Holder protect your electronics?
Keeping your mobile phone or tablet safe from dirt and moisture is crucial when camping. The Oztent Lock-On Device Holder securely grips your electronics, keeping them elevated and accessible. You can easily read digital maps, watch a downloaded movie, or keep your device safe while it charges.
What are the benefits of the Lock-On Bowls?
Available in both small and large sizes, the Oztent Lock-On Bowls provide a convenient storage drop-zone. You can use the small bowl to keep your keys, torches, and loose change organised. The large bowl is ideal for serving camp snacks or holding bulkier items that you want to keep off the ground.
How do the Can Holder and Wine Glass Holder secure beverages?
Staying hydrated is easy when your drink is always within arm’s reach. The Oztent Lock-On Can Holder secures your standard tins and bottles, preventing accidental spills when someone bumps your chair. For those who prefer a touch of luxury in the bush, the Oztent Lock-On Wine Glass Holder perfectly cradles stemmed glasses, keeping your favourite vintage safe on uneven terrain.
