The Quick Strap I ordered from China five weeks has finally arrived. It came with a metal plate that screws into the camera tripod mount. The metal plate is quite thick (I think 2mm thick), although a bit sharp--they should round off or sand off all the edges. The metal plate then connects to the strap via a carabiner. (The connection is not where the tripod mount is but rather, on the end of the metal plate, close to the left side of the camera.) The carabiner has a screw lock that prevents the swinging arm from moving. Here, quality is not great either. The screw lock is a bit rough to turn. Well, for $20, you get what you pay for. I don't own a Rapid Strap but I'm sure the Rapid Strap is better built than this but the Quick Strap will serve my purpose well.
After some length adjustments of the strap I have now a new way of carrying my camera around. Like I said, I don't like the Nikon strap. It gets in the way of handling the camera. This Quick Strap is better, but it needs some more design work.
Invasion of What?
What are these bugs? I've never seen them before. I saw them at my parents' place the other day. Lots of them in soil or grassy areas.
