Having read about concerns about the Black Rapid strap, which I've used for 2 yrs, I purchased some small link straps from OP-Tech. These go thru the strap lug and can be then attached to the Black Rapid strap, vial clip. Works very well, and eleviates any concern about trip-pod socket.
Cost was $7 from B&H with free shipping.
That is the only way to do it. It is cheap insurance and secures the camera to the camera lugs.
