I'm beginning to see why there are so many hand / neck / shoulder straps out there ... so hard to choose from. Is there anything out there that allows one to:
a) carry a plain 7D + 70-200 IS or 7d + other lenses by tripod mount that
b) can quickly be mounted to monopod via quick release plate
c) that can also accommodate a hand strap on the right.
d) does not hang from neck
e) has some kind of swivel mount so it does not tangle (minor issue).
I sort of like the Luma Loop v1 (no pod mount). It currently hangs from the upper right strap hole. QR plate is mounted. Problem is a cannot put on the big zoom lens without it dipping way down. It fulfills b, d.
Black Rapid R strap allows a, d, (e is less of an issue compared to Luma loop).
I saw the C-loop. It fulfills a, c, e but not b.
I'm almost tempted to machine / modify my own QR plate and attach a Luma loop v2 lanyard on it. Use as is for hand held shooting. Release the lanyard and attach to monopod/tripod for shots (I found out that keeping loop on + using monopod was a bit awkward). This also allows for use of hand strap ...
Wait a min ... I need a second QR plate and lanyard to have a place to attach the bottom of the hand strap ... argh. 
Can anyone help? Or does anyone just remove the mount and reattach the QR plate every single time it is needed?
