Did you skip the rest of what I said?

If you put that on a black rapid or whatever strap connector that typically uses the tripod socket, then attach an arca Swiss plate or L bracket to your camera, it's much easier to switch between strap and tripod.

I did not skip but didn't understand. Now it's clearer. I wouldn't have thought to use a plate on a strap, not a bad idea. I prefer Op/tech's system myself, but this one seems very good too.
