Does anyone know which of the Optech loop connectors will fit the G12 strap 'lugs'?

Thanks,
Al

The pro loop does, but they are tight... Personally, I like the Adapt-its and then either loops or more preferably, their swivel hooks. I have one strap that I move between several cameras this way and the strap is easy on and easy off, which I like because I often like to shoot without a strap.

Thanks for your reply. Are the Adapt-its made of strong material - that is, any danger of them breaking?

Thanks again,
Al

I believe they are made from polyurethane. In any case, I trust them enough to hang both of my SLRs from them: 5D and 5D Mark III. I'll probably just change them out every few years. I use the utility loop in between the swivel hook and adapt-it. There isn't much hanging off of the camera when the strap isn't connected. I used the hot water method for getting them into the slots of the camera rings.

Thanks for the link Dennis.
I bought Gordy's sling to use with small P&S cameras. Checked out your link, and see he now has a low profile connector. I bought 2 of his connectors, but would love to have his lower profile one.

I'll contact Gordy who has always been so helpful for me.
