Numerous folks have pointed out on UHH that camera tripod sockets are not meant or recommended for carrying the hanging, swinging weight of a camera. Unscrewing itself, pulling out the threaded insert, are two terrible possibilities. Use a strap that attaches to the strap lugs on the body.
Often discussed. Depends on camera/lens. Personally, I nor any of my photographer friends have ever had this problem. Like all equipment, one should regularly check all gear.
