Camera Strap Quick Release kit - Secure Carry for Telephoto Lenses

In this review we look at the Camera Strap Quick Release kit from Fly Equation and why it matters for photographers who carry heavy lenses. The bottom line: this kit is for shooters who want a safer strap mounting solution that resists accidental drops and keeps long lenses balanced while walking. The key reason to buy is the combination of a two-screw anti-fall plate and a magnetic levitation lock that together reduce slippage and accidental release, making it a practical upgrade for anyone using telephoto or heavier camera setups.

Key Features

• Anti-Fall Function: A two-screw locking plate secures in layers to achieve a drop-proof effect, so the camera stays fixed even if one connection is stressed.
• Anti-Deflection and Anti-Loose: The plate is designed to resist twisting and loosening during use, which increases confidence when moving with the camera mounted.
• Arca 38mm Compatibility: The quick release plate fits the arca 38mm standard, providing compatibility with tripod heads and accessories that support that standard.
• Ergonomic Base Design: The wider airfoil-shaped base improves balance for normal cameras and is especially suited to telephoto lenses to reduce front-heaviness on a strap.
• Maglev Lock Design: A magnetic levitation lock in the base firmly holds the EQ38 plate, improving retention without constant manual tightening.
• Anti-Accidental Touch Lock: Toggle left and right to lock and unlock, offering extra protection from accidental drops when carrying on a strap.

Who It's For

The kit is aimed at photographers who routinely carry telephoto lenses on a strap or use a quick release between strap and tripod. Wildlife, sports, and event shooters who need to point the lens downward for safer transport will appreciate the downward carry option and the extra retention features.

This kit is less relevant for users who prefer in-camera tripod plates only or those using Arca-compatible plates not matching the EQ38 profile; buyers should check that their camera has the single screw hole aligned with this plate design.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Two-screw layered locking reduces risk of accidental drops for heavier setups.
• Wider, ergonomic base helps maintain balance with telephoto lenses on a strap.
• Maglev lock and anti-accidental toggle add redundant security when carrying.

Cons

• Designed specifically for EQ38 / arca 38mm plates, so it only supports that plate profile.
