How to Attach a Quick Release Camera Strap

Published in Camera Accessories 2 mins read

Attaching a quick release camera strap, based on the system described in the reference, involves a few simple steps to secure the strap connector to your camera's lug or ring.

To attach this specific quick release camera strap system, you will typically connect the strap's quick release mechanism to the camera's attachment points.

Attaching the Quick Release System

Based on the provided reference, the process for securing one side of the quick release involves the following actions:

  1. Slide through the ring: Take the quick release connector and pass its loop or cord through the ring or lug on your camera body.
  2. Click through the loop: Bring the connector back and click it through the loop that was just passed through the camera's ring. This forms a secure connection.
  3. Turn the safety latch: Engage any safety latch or locking mechanism on the quick release connector to prevent accidental detachment.

You would then repeat these steps for the other side of the camera strap to attach it to the corresponding ring or lug on the other side of your camera body. The reference specifically mentions repeating the step to "Slide through the ring" for the second side.

Detaching the Quick Release System

The convenience of a quick release system lies in its ability to be easily removed. According to the reference, to detach the strap, you simply:

  • Slide it out: Release the latch (if applicable) and slide the connector out of the loop/ring it was secured to.

This allows for rapid removal of the strap when needed, such as when mounting the camera on a tripod or changing straps.
