BosStrap Extra BosTail - For Additional Camera Bodies or to Replace Your Other Strap's Tripod Socket Fitting

I like the over-the-shoulder sling camera straps like the  Focus F-1 Quick Rapid Shoulder Sling Belt Neck Strap for Cameras (Black)  or  BlackRapid RRS-1BB Sport (RS-Sport) (Black)  a lot. However, I do not like their attachment to my expensive Nikon camera via the tripod screw. First, it may unscrew with use and my camera could fall to the pavement. Second, there have been concerns raised about how tough the camera's tripod mount hold is since it normally doesn't bear the weight of the camera whereas the camera's side strap attaching points are. Third, if you want to use also a tripod, you have to unscrew the strap's screw attachment to the camera to free up the camera's tripod screw hole so you can use the tripod. Lastly, my camera is hanging upside down on the strap when I'm not holding it because it's attached at the bottom via the tripod mount screw. The camera is not a natural position for my right hand to grab it when I reach for it.This BosStrap Extra Bos Tail solves the problem. I attach it via the nylon mesh fabric side to my camera's right triangular metal strap holder. I attached the round metal ring on the other end to the carabiner of the shoulder sling camera strap. My camera now lays with the right side upward so it's in a natural position for me to pick it up with my right hand. The camera is now on securely and the attachment won't twist off so chance of the camera's falling off is greatly reduced. Of course the strap can break or the plaster fastener which prevents the strap from unraveling could break but that's the same risk as a regular camera strap. The strap is long enough that the smooth metal ring doesn't normally touch the camera body to scratch it. I like my new set-up. Hope this helps someone.

Great way to use Black Rapid camera strap. I saw the BlackRapid camera strap system and I liked it except for the fact that it screws into the tripod mount on your camera. I did a lot of research and found that some people had issues with frame distortion at that point because the tripod mount was never meant to be used in tension. I found this and it works perfectly for me so that I can use the intended camera strap points on my NIkon D750 with the BlackRapid system.

Worked as advertised. Good to get the over the shoulder strap I own off of the tripod screw hole of my accessory battery grips on my Nikon D300 and D750.

This saves the trouble of detaching a black rapid strap all the time when you are going back and forth with a tripod.

The BosStrap does exactly what it's advertised to do. I've used one for years without it failing even once.

Works as intended. Frees up the tripod mount on the camera.

Wife loves. This stuffmy black t shirts from years still look new

It is perfect and arrived in perfect condition. Combines with my camera strap.
