Ordered the RS-7 and Fasten R-T1 today. I'm still not certain how well it will go with my Really Right Stuff camera and lens plates as they're a much lower profile than the Manfrotto quick release plates. Will see anyway - it looks like a really good solution for carrying the camera around, just a little bit more work when attaching to a tripod if I need to remove the strap.
I'll let you know anyway, not sure who else here using Really Right Stuff plates, I can't really recall anybody else.

It works - I almost went with RRS lens plates for the extra 1/4"-20 socket on them, which the Wimberley plates lack. Bob Williams uses RSS plates and BR straps.Originally Posted by btaylor
FWIW, my solution was to just screw the FastenR-3 (one will come with your RS-7 strap) into a Kirk 1" clamp with some LocTite Blue. That small clamp stays on the strap, and instead of removing the carabiner (ConnectR-2) then unscrewing the lug, I just unscrew the Kirk clamp from the camera or lens plate to use a tripod/monopod or change attachment points (camera vs. lens).
