Can I quickly mount this on a tripod?

[Richard Stern]

I have my Nikon D500 attached to a Peak Design Slide strap, with one of the little anchors attached to the left hand strap ring on the camera and the other attached to the bottom of the body by the anchor mount (see attached image). I carry my D500 and 300F4 PF his way, and it's very comfy and light for hand-held photos. But is there a way of quickly removing the bottom anchor mount and attaching a video or gimbal head on a tripod without unscrewing the anchor mount - which means using an Allen key and it takes time ? It would be nice to have some kind of QR adapter or something I could use to quickly unclip the anchor and mount it on the tripod head for those occasions I wish to use a tripod.

Thanks, RichardView attachment 12580

There a a number of arca plates that have an attachment point for a strap. I know Colorado Tripod Company makes some.

Thanks. Actually after posting this I just looked at the Peak Design web site and they have a dual plate that looks like it does what I want.

I use a RRS L bracket. Then I can just leave the Peak Design clip on there.

Peak Design make an Arca compatible clamp which should suit your needs. I use one with their Clutch hand strap. https://www.peakdesign.com/collections/clips/products/standard-plate-v3

They also do a Dual plate which suits both Arca and Manfrotto RC2. https://www.peakdesign.com/collections/clips/products/dual-plate

I do pretty much the same thing Hut posted except I use a Kirk L plate. Those Peek Design loops can connect to anything with a slot. It makes it easy to use the strap with a tripod. If the strap is a concern (think windy conditions) it is easy to remove from the camera.

Kirk makes most of their camera plates, lens plates, and L-brackets with a QD socket to fit a QD swivel. I have a hand strap and a Black Rapid shoulder strap set up this way.

I'm identical to aolander above, same strap & Kirk fittings & QD release. Really, really like the BR strap and connections.
