Do any of you NOT use your neck strap??

I'm planning on getting the canon hand strap thanks to you guys
I have an xs w/ 15-85mm and I find it front heavy and it strains my hand from holding it.

I want to get the RS-7 however I don't know if there is a solution to use it with a QR plate.
this is the plate i'm going to be using:

Hand straps for me all the time, being around kids of all ages on bleachers, etc, I want to know exactly where the camera is and that it won't go flying because Bobby saw the love of his life come through the back door, and he takes off at full speed past my gear and slingshots it into the concrete block wall.

Even before handstaps, I gave up on neck straps. I have seen to many camera tragedies unfold the way you describe. Camera is in hand or in bag. Not doing a trapeze act from my neck or setting on a table with the strap hanging over the edge waiting for something to snag it. My favorite is the camera hand off when the strap snags the givers hand just long enough to pull the camera from the receivers hand and both watch the camera fall to the pavement. Priceless!

man just saw this on youtube!

saw the black rapid r-strap in an a camera store expo a few back, immediately bought one, so much better compared to neck strap...

i'm looking for a wrist strap to complement my r-strap... any ideas/suggestions?

do you use a QR plate on? I am trying to find a way to have both the ability to use a r strap and a QR plate because I do not want to go with a luma loop.

If you look closely at the end of the video, even the flower girl knew the severity of the situation.

yeah i know! hands on her head and all. when he first fell in the water to the guy from the left immediately tries to grab the camera from his wet hand before helping him up lol.

@itsmejson

unfortunately, my QR plate does not work with the R2 of the r-strap :O(

i did find a manfrotto QR plate in my local camera store that would fit the R2, but i could remember the model

check this post out for an alternative

it looks very similar to this:

you can insert the r2 in the QR plate lock

yeah I have already seen that. that setup looks too sketchy to me lol.

anyone know if getting this d ring screw or BR's FastenR-2 would work to screw onto a QR plate?

Strapless. The factory strap is uncomfortable and just gets in the way. I'd like to try the Luma Loop or R-Strap someday though.

I don't use any strap on my camera. It is normally on a tripod, but when its not I just carry it. Straps are to annoying for me, and have only seemed to be more of a bother than any help imo.

the connectR2 will fit in the D-ring

but once the r2 is connected to that QR plate will I be able to attach it to a tripod without having to remove it.
