p.1 #1 · DIY Strap QR Clips


I bought some Loop bits from Op Tech,

but now Im chasing some small, strong lockable QR clips which I'll mount on my strap end, ............
that way I can unclip the clips & leave the loops only attached to the camera,

no clip swinging on the camera ,,.....no scratches

Looking for clips only ,...someone posted somewhere a wholsaler/Wharehouse with heaps of different sized & type clips ?

Take a look at this site under the plastic hardware section. Don't know if they ship outside of the US though.

Sorry, I figured you knew how to use the internet.

The first Mini Versa Links are strong enough for 1D-series body with 70-200/2.8L IS II. The Mini Versa Links below are about 30% larger than the one shown in my photo, above. I haven't found any of the really small ones for about five years.

The small plastic "S" clips are good for lighter cams like the X100 and X-Pro 1. I haven't used the SS "S" clips.

Only now I use the utility loop end straps from Optech instead of the Adapt-its.
