Thanks bigdog,,I have a plate that comes wih the small tripod I bought,the kind with the flexible legs,that looks just like the plate you linked to,but I don't trust it for long term use,,too light weight for me.
That strap is what I am looking for.I guess I can buy a shoulder pad and some narrow webbing and take it to the shoe repair shop and have them sew the swivels or snaps,whichever I decide on.
The loop method appeals to me more than the two snap ends,it's something I have to decide on.
I do notice though that the camera hangs basically in the same position no matter if it is attached to the bottom or the top lugs.
So many choices I am having a difficult time deciding which way to go,I am over thinking a simple thing.
Your information was helpful as it reflects what I am leaning towards.
Thank you..
