sam_ellis Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I use a BlackRapid strap that attaches to the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. Can the camera strap studs be unscrewed without breaking anything? I know I can take the triangular hoops off, but that still leaves the uncomfortable metal stud sticking out. I wouldn't want to permanently remove them in case I sell the camera one day. This is for a D300, but I assume most of their cameras are about the same. I have a D200, D70, and D50 also. Thanks,Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrison_k. Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'd phone Nikon. I'd assume they're a standard thread and held in with a little lock-tite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_darnton1 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I wouldn't go cranking on them to try to find out. I had a lug come loose on an Olympus OM-1 once, and after digging down inside, found that the mechanism was very clever, and more complex than you would imagine . . . and foolproof--the lug was never going to drop off, even though it was loose. So without actually seeing how it's done, I don't think you can assume anything about how it's held in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samoksner Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I doubt it, I'm pretty sure it's bolted into the magnesium body. I don't suggest trying to pull or twist is out. Compromise: put a little piece of foam or something around it to make it less uncomfortable. Here is a picture of the lugs locked into the magnesium frame: http://img.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D300/ZBODY.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
