However, I'd never wear the "belt" that they provide, I'd much rather just hang it on my own belt.. but I'm not sure of how well that would hold up! I may just hold out for version 2.. Tim

you can just use your normal pro loop attachments with them if you want (I did) but if that's too slow you can get carabiners or other clips/snaps. My issue with that is it's metal in your bag near your LCD... My issue with the R-strap is their lame connector at the bottom of the camera. The CC is better as it's much shorter, but I've gone one step further and tapped mine onto my RRS L-bracket:  I use the belt portion of the cotton carrier 99% of the time. The chest portion (I bought mine when we HAD to get both, you can now buy just the belt if you want) is useful on the boat, but draws too much attention for me in public. My Gear List

Here are my solutions: op-tech short loops (just that last clip w/o any strap is left on the body) That looks like it would work very nicely. I was also looking at these:  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. And then maybe a strap with some quick release hooks that could just snap into those loops. That seems like it would be very lightweight and out of the way when no strap is in use. Taylor

I think I will get the swivel hook straps like you have, but go with the utility loops, (pictured in my last post), instead of the adapt-its. Taylor

msowsun "approx 8mm" More info | Nov 25, 2009 03:31 | #25 I have had the rubber "Adapt-its" now for about 18 months and they are holding up well. Just as good as when they were new. They are very strong. They are flexible, but a little hard to install because the are so tough.
