My solution was to attach the FastenR-3 (the Blackrapid lug that threads into a tripod socket) into a Kirk 1" clamp (QRC-1, $40 from B&H), semi-permanently with a little Loctite Blue 242 on the threads. It's smaller than the Wimberley clamp (presumably C-12) that Rick mentions, but quite secure. That makes it very easy for me to move the strap from camera to lens or remove it for tripod use.

Lots of details (probably more than you want!) here in this post.

Yes, John you are correct and wow, lots to look at and consider! I guess more of "this and that" goes into having a correct set-up than I had thought would!
