brickftl Posted August 28, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 28, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've read some horror stories about lug nuts coming loose, and now I'm scared to have my Q2 hanging around my neck (even though I have a solid camera strap for which I use very strong thick strap rings). I went biking this weekend with the Q2 slung over my shoulder, and the whole time I was scared that suddenly the lug would come off the camera and that I wouldn't be able to grab the strap in time before it fell to the ground. Am I worrying for nothing or is this a real issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strmbrg Posted August 28, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Well, if you regurlarly check the lugs for any play you would be safe I suppose. The lug will probably get a little loose long before it falls off. I have quit the rings. The rings may stress the lugs when they bend back and forth due to strap-twisting. Furthermore they do not allow a full swivel movement of the strap/lug-connection. I use this simple solution instead. It turns and follows instead of making an opposing force. Regular checking tells me that the simple stop-knot (the simplest possible) does not move or loosen. The rope does of course not wear the lug as metal against metal do. Welcome, dear visitor!

Strmbrg Posted August 28, 2019 Share #3 Posted August 28, 2019 PS I just noted that the solution is also used by others.https://www.photo.net/discuss/threads/best-carrying-situtation-for-m-series-cameras.359358/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted August 28, 2019 Share #4 Posted August 28, 2019 The strap lug issue was - as far as I know - limited to some M models, since rectified. I've not heard of this affecting the Q or Q2? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
