Camera strap

fredjclaus

I'm not just looking here for the item, but also information. Does anyone sell a camera strap that clips on instead of being threaded onto the camera?

I shoot both with and without a flash bracket. I'd like the strap to go on the camera when it's not on the bracket.

You know sam, I've been searching the net all day and this strap keeps coming up. I've been looking St some DIY options as well since these are about 60.00 plus shipping. It's a nice set up, I'm going to work on it.

I made mine!....cut the ends off 2 camera straps and fasten to the camera. yes it threads thru an attach the other one to the threaded one. the use a threaded connecting links looped thru the camera strap ends and I use a Think Tank strap with metal clips on the end...this make the camera stap adjustable an long...also can use a luggage strap/briefcase strap etc.

I no longer use a neck strap and I have replaced the strap holder on my Nikon's with quarter size split rings....like on a key chain...as to the strap I now use...an Optech Dual Camera harness and I connect it to the camera using the smallest carabiners I could find at Mernard's Building Materials.....then I sewed the loop end of the strap.
the optech dual cam strap sells of like 29 at BH or Adorama....

Everything can be disconnected in seconds to attach to my Stroboframe RB series flash bracket......the bracket was modified also .....I do not use the camera connect screw to camera but instead a manfrotto quick connect base.......my whole system is pretty much based on the RC2 quick connect / disconnect plates and bases......never had any problems after more than 15 yrs of using them.

Good luck......

I've used Optech straps for years but for times when I carry two bodies I recommend the BlackRapid gear. Top quality stuff...

I use the Op/tech Reporter strap. It uses fastech snaps, in fact it has two sets. This allows me to clip the strap and camera to my backpack straps, taking load off my neck and adding a bit extra security on hikes.
