Dean, when you say these damage the paint, do you just mean this type of suction cup or suction cups in general.
I don't know why everyone is worried about hanging the camera off the rig as the camera is never left on its own anyway, if the rig did drop you should be holding the neck strap anyway.
I mean those cups, ie: the ones designed for lifting glass/floor tiles.
I always leave the camera on it's own as I quite often have the cars to myself to shoot so I'm normally sat in the drivers seat rolling along with camera dangling 10ft out!
I had my D3 6ft above my bonnet stuck on a tripod, with 3 manfrotto suction cups chasing a Porsche Cayman at 30mph. You wouldn't catch me doing that with those cups above!!!!
