Originally posted by repaap I would have suggested something like that too. Drilling eye bolt what ever thing on tripod foot sounds quite iffy, if you'd ask form me. You do know that it could still unscrew it self? Not necessarily, but that could still happen. In that case 35 € is almost like a bargain.
I once made the experience that the K-1 nearly screwed off the Blackrapid Strap Screw. A small lens was attached and the combo rotated too much at my side. I had luck, I discovered it early enough.
From this time on I in addition secured the camera by a tether at the side of the right camera eyelet that I like the screw thread into the Blackrapid straps anchor (don't know if that's the right word for it).
This simple tether I recently replaced by the flexible Peak Design attachment system and a Peak Design cuff that works with the flexible attachment system. When using the Blackrapid strap I use the cuff the same way l used the old tether. I feel secure with this solution.
@marcusBMG: yes the Novoflex plate is not a cheap part. I like the Novoflex quality very much, so I from time to time pay for it. I started with the Novoflex macro rail (ever had one in your hands? - simply fabulous ... but expensive) and every year another part finds the way into my bag.
