I use the newest version of the bridge beads, too. I converted my guitar's bridge to be a 12-hole, but after trying that and the beads both, find the beads more slip-resistant.
I've never seen this headstock tie method and will definitely give it a try. It's the second one I've seen that says to pull out most of the slack but his method appears to provide a better way than the other I've seen to keep the slack tight while winding.
Also interesting was the video maker's positioning of the tuner. I've been trying to find a good spot for it that doesn't interfere with tuning, the stings themselves, or joust for space with a capo at the headstock. I may give this location try, too.
