Well, I think I will carry the D90 over my left shoulder on top of the Quick Strap. I am thinking of using a velcro strap to tie the Nikon strap to the Quick Strap. This way, the Nikon strap will not slide off my shoulder.I am also thinking of carrying the D90 upside down like the D7000. To do that, I need to use the tripod mount. There is this metal plate I just placed an order for on eBay. It costs $10 including shipping. (If interested in this plate, search for "camera strap plate" on eBay.) I also need a carabiner to connect the Nikon strap to the plate so I ordered a dozen of these carabiners for $10 including shipping, also. Why a dozen? I will use one of the carabiners for this purpose and the rest, well, they will come in handy when I go traveling or hiking about. For example, when I travel, I usually keep my camera gears in a small daypack. When I have to carry my 60L backpack, the daypack is carried in the front. I use a carabiner to hang the daypack off the strap of the 60L backpack. I can also use a carabiner for carrying a water bottle in the front.
Now, notice these carabiners have a locking screw. This is important. I do not want the carabiner to detach from the metal plate by accident. The locking screw is a must in this application. However, I have to question my decision to buy these specific carabiners though. I got a dozen of them for $10 and I am hanging a thousand dollars worth of equipment off it. These aluminum carabiners should hold at least 40 pounds of weight. Hmm ....
This $11 contraption will probably work well. However, you could just purchase a double Quick Strap for two cameras like this one below for about $30.
