I was looking for a low profile quick release strap that could be quickly changed over to a wrist strap. Any pre-built setup was either really bulky, expensive or both.
Super easy to make your own version for little money.
If anyone wants to duplicate:
Chicago screws which comes with the punch.
10mm leather strap 5 yards
Op/Tech 1.5mm QD connectors
The Chicago screws will make *many* straps and the leather will be good for at least several straps. I know those are showing as out of stock. I bought them awhile ago, but you can reference them to find similar products. I wouldn't use those Op/Tech connectors for a heavy system but for a lighter camera they seem very strong.
If you would prefer to leather stitch instead this kit works. When I was first making straps I stitched but later on switched over to the Chicago screws. They are dramatically quicker to use and look better than the stitching I was doing. I put a drop of LocTite purple in them before screwing them closed.
