Or a tackle shop. The swivels themselves look like what I have in my tackle box.

go on line. you can get snap swivels up to 400 pound test. those giant fish put more strain on the swivels than a camera ever would.

If you get the cheap small freshwater kiddie stuff they might be rated for 5lbs, maaaybe 10.
Get the #10 stainless saltwater jobbies- many rated for 200#+. Each.
Shrink tubing might protect your camera. I recall little keyhole leather fob thingies on me old MFs.
