How easy is it to take it off the camera? I have more than one DSLR and I'm thinking of getting this so that I can easily switch between cameras.

Simple, it screws into your tripod mount. You just unscrew from one camera and screw into your second camera, no need to even take off the strap.

As easy as unscrewing the piece from the tripod mount on one camera and screwing it into the other. The mounts have a sticky rubber backing so they will stay in place with out over-tightening (making them easy to unscrew if you want to, but stay in place when you want them to also). If that's too much trouble, you could always get a few extra mounts to put on your other cameras so all you have to do is unclip (carabiner-style) from one camera and clip into the new one.

Read up on the connector.... just buy two of the screw-in pieces and you can just clip from one to the other very quickly.

I attach it to my tripod face plate when I need it. With the loop on the strap, it's an easy release. If you use the screw that comes with the strap, that takes more time.

Very easy to switch camera bodies simply unscrew from the 1/4-20 tripod screw and that's it. 30 seconds or less. Just unscrew and move on.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

Yes! It is one of the greatest lens purchases I've ever made! I almost never take it off my camera :)

It has a sliding plate. That plate is attached to your camera, then there is a knuckle bolt you can loosen, then slide it off while pressing the lock. It isn't exactly quick nor work great, but better than nothing!!

I attached mine to the loop that sits at the top of the backpack (imagine what you would grab when you pick the backpack up from the floor). it did the a few tries to find the best points of attachment and to make sure that its doesn't move when sliding the camera in/out. At this point I haven't made any adjustments in a year. Its a great item to have if you want quick and easy access to your camera.

Great response, Dave Diode...I have a question about this. Can it be attached only to DSLR cameras or also mirror less cameras? Thanks! (I'm searching for a dSLR quality camera but found out that none can be used at classical concerts because of the loud shutter noise).

You can hook 2 cameras but I don't think there is an easy way to switch. No buttons easily accessible. I only use one camera but am sure 1 probably has priority over the other.

I don't touch it. I use only a mount lenses. So I never take it off. Never had a problem.

It is very simple. Just be patient and take your time. Be careful when you get near the camera area as it has little wires you can sever. Besides that just pry it off and put on the new one.

With the heavy DSLR I tend to protect the camera by keeping a hand on it - it's just too risky to let it hang. It's comfortable, and I haven't had any issues with breakage, etc. The connection to the tripod screw is good and the metal is heavy. Honestly, I put my camera into my backpack until I think I'll need it. A heavy DSLR just looks expensive.

I have one BlackVue camera and two cars each with it's own bracket. I find that it's not real easy to take the camera out. You have to push in on the release button and pull the camera out. This sometimes take a little doing.

My lens locks in, the little silver button on the slide clicks forward when the lens is locked, and you must push that button back to be able to twist the lens to remove it. This is if you are talking about the lens locking to the adaptor. Instead, if you are talking about the adaptor locking to the camera, if you turn it the wrong way, you can turn it around and around in the mount without it locking in. That is just a question of turning the right direction. I've had the mount for a year, use it heavily, and it works perfectly for me. I use it with two Nikon lens.

Not quite sure what you mean exactly. But this piece screws to the bottom of the camera and then slots into the top of the tripod. So effectively you can remove your camera from the tripod in seconds if you flick the tripod catch. Hope that helps?

I'm wondering the same thing! I guess I'll find out once i get the case but if you or anyone knows...I thought the lens adaper was supposed to be left on so if the case doesn't work with it that will seem to make it worthless...I just can't see taking it off and on eevery time you want to put the camera back in the case!

Its actually very easy. I also had the camera and this fits perfect. No issues with it.

I am with U 2.. need an easy way to protect my lens from the abuse my kid put it through ---HELP!!! Camera is a CANON S5IS

You just attach the plate that comes with the strap. Just tighten it (hand tight) On my Canon T3i - I have to loosen the plate and turn it to one side to be able to change the camera battery, no big deal.You can still mount the camera to a tripod with the plate attached to the camera. You can detach the strap itself from the plate very easy and re-secure it. I like the system very much. Really takes the weight of the camera off my neck when I was using the standard strap that comes with the camera.
