Im not quite sure if i understood you correctly, but, what ive done is put D-Ring's on my camera bags' shoulder straps, with a carabiner on each. I then have a 3 inch section of webbing tailing off from the tripod socket, with a metal eyelet in the end of it. Obviously i then clip the camera onto the carabiner, and it hangs at my waist by the tripod socket via the 3 inch strap.
Takes the weight off my neck, and if i need to shoot the camera just slides up the bags shoulder strap with the D-Ring.
