Why don’t you all just use red lock tite?
Then you won’t have to worry about it🤓
Just kidding, don’t do that!

Great tip but I still don't like single attachment points.

Of course, with the dual-point attachment of a neck/shoulder strap, the failure of either side - strap or camera - will send the camera to the ground unless you're holding the strap.

I agree. But there is no way that the lens tripod foot is going to fail.

Exactly...you are still at one failure point either way.
One has a much larger lug...it's a choice.
I don't like the strap position using side lugs...prefer to have it down and away...it's a choice.

Just thought I would pass this along. By marking it with a black sharpie, it gives me a quick visual reference point as to if the mounting screw has worked itself loose a bit.
Sharpies rule !! great tip !

I'd like a strap system that used the two lugs, but if one disconnected, the camera wouldn't fall. A strap across the chest connecting the two straps would accomplish that. I generally have one hand on the strap, though.

If there is a drop because of the straps...it wounld't be because of using that big honking lug under your body...
It might be your fault...or the straps fault...but not the big lug.
It's overbuilt because of tripods...it's your strongest point.
It will be user error...of course. Those stories usually get edited a bit...
