Been thinking about this after reading the thread about the D750 grips,oem and otherwise.
With straps like the black rapid ones that attach to the tripod mount of either camera or lens, is it wise and secure actually doing this?
My thoughts are that the tripod mount is just that, a place to mount the camera on a tripod, it is not really designed to have a camera and lens swinging around on it. Would it not be a better bet to actually use the strap mounts on the body itself?
For longer lens, I always use the strap rings on the lens so that the lens mount is not being over strained, for shorter lenses I use the body strap pints.
Not saying either method is right or wrong and i`m sure loads of people use that tripod mount system and have never had a failure of the system, it just seems weird to me.
