@Microbois, thanks for your further explanation, I may still purchase the tether kit then, just to be sure, but a best way is to check the screw from time to time..
How troublesome is whole strap to put on and take off? While out it will be on my shoulder, when taking the subway it will be in my sling. Also if I wanted someone else to take my photo. Or are their accessories I should consider to make it slightly easier to take off than unscrewing it from the mount?
I also have a G12 that I would love to carry together, but can one of the SNAPR bags be attached to this? And would it be recommended to do so or not? As this is a solo trip I think asking people to take my photo will be easier with the G12 than taking off my DSLR, operation also much easier for some people. I am considering both options.
I'm not over thinking it, I am just asking. Blackraipd sells the wire strap so I figured I would ask about. So that means people must be buying it and there must be a need for it. The Pacsafe sling I have also has an anti-slash feature.
Putting the Black Rapid Sport strap on and off is quick. You don't need to unscrew the camera each time, it's a carabiner clip, so you just open it and store the camera away. As far as the G12, keep it in your sling bag, you don't want to look like a Chritmas tree and show off all your stuff. I think you overthinking it, and yes those wire strap exists, but I think it's more for women who are more vulnerable to thief because of their size compared to men. Don't forget that fear sells lots of products too... If you travel in very dangerous areas (Paris is not), then it's not a wire strap that will make the difference between your camera being stolen or not. Thieves go after easy targets and they don't want to get caught. Just make sure you are not an easy target, be aware of your surroundings, and it won't happen. Simple.
