Anyone know of a source for camera strap quick connects?

George07748

Good morning! I was wondering if anyone knows of a good source for solid camera strap quick connects. I use a hand strap most of the time, but would like to switch to my Nikon or SmugMug strap from time to time without having to Lace them up.

I can find straps with quick connects at a few places online, but I don't really need more straps.

I have a D700 with the 28-300, so I'd like to find some good robust ones.

Thanks,

-George

Op/Tech has several possible solutions. You might consider looking at the "Utility Loop" & "Adapt-Its" adapters first.

I know this looks like a marketing promo but I have no affiliation with them. I just like their stuff and their reasonable prices.

I went to a
wally world and got some over sized split rings, like used for key chains, and added them to my camera strap triangle on my camera....
not as fast as a quick connect but a lot sturdier............

got a dozen for about $2..........

Most of your fabric-sewing-craft-type stores carry quick disconnects (also called quick release clips) in several sizes in the store. I picked up some half-inch black ones at the local JoAnne Fabric sometime ago. Amazon lists many different types; search for "quick release buckle". The smaller ones are hard to find online, but they are out there ... ebay lists them.

I use these: http://www.strapworks.com/Un_Hookem_tm_Quick_Release_Strap_Adapter_p/uh12nt.htm

They work fine and you get a set of two for the price.

Try using two small carabiners. They work great.

Tandy Leather might have spring clips or small dog leash clips ....also Tractor Supply might carry some...they used too............
another thought .....buy some old cloth camera straps and remove the clips off them......they usually can be found in
privately owned camera stores for a buck or 2...................
