Need help finding swivel clips for my strap

Does anyone know where I can find clips similar to the one I’ve ticked?
I want to put these onto my camera strap so I can quickly release the strap so I can attach a hand grip.

The only ones I’ve been able to get so far are the ones on the left whilst these are doing the job ok the bit that attaches to my camera is a little too big and as a result does not move very freely so any new ones I get I would like them to have a narrower profile such as the one on the right to enable better movement. Unfortunately I only have 1 of these it arrived yesterday with my new Phottix Cleon II remote.

As you can see these are 4cm I do not want to go any bigger than this preferably a little smaller.

The only swivel clips I’ve found so far for cameras are these…. http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/prod.asp?i=15923&1=Op/tech+Connectors+Swivel+Hook
alas these are out of stock and no indication of the actual size of the clip.

I like the fact they are black but what do people think about using this type of clip on my camera strap will there be any issues concerning the strength of this type of clip?
 
If these will fit, you should have no problems with weight. Unless your camera weighs over 20kg. And I shouldn't imagine it does.:D
