Cayenne Posted October 20, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all, I'm looking to get the Really Right Stuff L-Plate and Grip set up for my new M10M, to go with my RRS mounts on tripod, monopod, etc. Really Right Stuff L-Plate Set and Grip for Leica M10 This L-bracket, however has only 1 Quick Disconnect, which would seem to warrant a single point attachment camera strap to work with this. I'd never thought of a single mount strap and wondering if anyone here might have some recommendations for a single point attachment camera strap? Thank you in advance, cayenne Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeicaS2 Posted October 21, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2020 I use a single point attachment with a Harry Benz J-loop. I also have the RRS L plate and grip for my M10M. i like that once I have the camera on a tripod, if I feel the strap is in the way, it can just be unsnapped rapidly. i have grown to completely prefer an over the shoulder strap vs around the neck., and I also prefer how the camera hangs from a single eyelet. The photo doesn’t show the L-plate, but does show the Harry Benz “La Cravate” wrist strap that can be ordered with the J-loop, if you like wrist straps. Jack . Welcome, dear visitor!

Oh, I asked Leica Store Miami if they had ever had a single eyelet give away, as some here had worried. They have never heard of a problem. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

mmradman Posted October 21, 2020 Share #3 Posted October 21, 2020 The RRS plate with QD is supposed to be used with Magpul strap, it's attachment to camera plate is shown on the RRS web page but not the entire strap. Magpul was originally developed to carry weapons (machineguns) and is extremely sturdy, I sometime carry Z7 with 70-200mm (about 2kg or 4 pounds) attached via single point to the tripod foot, it can also be attached to two points utilizing lens and camera plates with QD socket. It may not be to taste to people who prefer fashion straps. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1545776-REG/kirk_mag_ms4strap_magpul_ms4_strap.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have for my bigger camera, a HoldFast solo set up which is very nice and in addition to the single connect (that you can use a QD with) it has a backup one. HoldFast Money Maker Solo It is just that that rig it too big really for the M10M....and I was wanting something smaller to suit the body and more 'on the run' need.

I dunno why I didn't think a rifle sling, of course those come in single QD configurations..... I got to looking around, and this leather version might be interesting: Mean Gene 2-to-1 Single Point Leather Sling That might do the trick. Actually, I think I have a spare rifle sling, nylon of this type somewhere around the house, I'll go look for it and see if that might work. Thanks for the help!! cayenne Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
