Arca-Swiss clamp for shoulder strap?

[gramps]

Having purchased an Arca-Swiss plate for my Nikon 200-500 f5.6 I now find that I have nowhere on the foot to screw my shoulder strap onto.
Anyone know of an Arca-Swiss clamp that would fit onto the plate and be able to attach to my shoulder strap ... it's a Q-Strap with carbiner and L-plate and screw?

I used a cheap clamp from amazon with my black rapid. Screw the plate to the clamp and attach the clamp to the lens

One like my Kirk LP-46 would fit your purpose I think!

@ChrisHeathcote Do you have a name/link please Chris?

Can't you change the threaded screw for one that your strap will clip onto?
That's how I used the strap with my 150-600

No where to fix on the plate.

I use this one on my Black Rapid strap: https://www.wexphotovideo.com/kirk-qrc-1-quick-release-clamp-1-inch-1011194/

This replaces the one on the plate that attaches it to the lens foot.

That looks promising, thanks.

I realise this is a little too late, but I tend to switch my lens feet to this type of thing, which means I have arca mount built into the foot and can attach a strap as and when I need. Biggest advantage is that I don't need to remember to pack an arca plate!

I attached and use a Wimberly C-12 clamp, .I did look at the time I think a Kirk design clamp that was lever release but decided for 'security' reasons for a screw design........but one with nice gripable knob as many have simple machine grooving.

Edit - should have said that this is on my Black Rapid strap

This was the one, if you can wait until I get back off holiday next weekend I’ll stick it in the post.

Edit: meant to say I also attached a Optech uniloop between the strap and the camera as a safety tether in case it dropped off (although it never did)

Just by way of added insight in case it helps.

The BR attachment screw has a compressible rubber washer to help it make a secure connection, if you read the BR instructions it mentions how to ensure a reliable link. With the C-12 clamp it has grub screws which align with the washer so i have been able make the connection with a "belt & braces" method.
