Nikon AN-DC3 Strap for Digital SLR - Black

Product Information

Really Right Stuff’s latest camera L brackets have two QD sockets on them for this purpose, but you might also use one QD socket on the camera plate and one on the plate attached to your lens foot. The Leash is small enough to stuff into a tiny pocket, and they you can simply forget it’s there until that moment when you think “darn, I wish I had a shoulder strap” “oh wait! With straps fully tightened, the Spiderpro does give your fingers more range of motion across buttons on top of the camera.

It is not a neck strap, it is designed to be used over one shoulder with the lens pointing inward across the small of your back.I can clearly, without hesitation, say that this is one of the finest leather camera straps I have ever seen or owned. I must admit, the longer I have this strap in my gear closet, the more often I find myself grabbing it when it’s time to load up and head out shooting. Here you can see the Sport X strap’s QD system and the base of an RRS L bracket that has a matching QD socket. The biggest help is when you use any of these links when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live.

In fact I’m planning on swapping the sail clips off the Holdfast for some Magpul QD swivels, which will involve some basic leatherwork. Unlike some larger wrist straps, this one could be easily carried in your bag “just in case” and you’d never know it was there until you needed it. These straps are also popular within the birding community as they make an excellent third-party option to carry binoculars for extended periods of time.

They are a company that clearly knows success isn’t all about the product, you have to get everything else right and then you create your fanboys 😉 You’ve got a good selection of kit, Scott! Borrowed from the firearms industry, the QD system is an excellent way to attach and detach a camera strap, but it does require that you either already own a camera plate that has a QD socket, or you purchase a QD adapter like the RRS B2-FABN Micro clamp. The Glide One sling strap from Custom SLR has been a popular option for many years, and I’d say that it’s the most comfortable strap that I tested.

They are available in many colours, but one of the good reasons to ditch your default branded strap in the first place is to be a little more stealthy, so my recommendation would be to pick black, or at least a relatively subdued colour.

Here I’m using the Peak Design Clutch hand strap to hold my camera in a helicopter where a shoulder strap is impractical for safety reasons.
