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.
