Does anyone know of a gadjet or contrivance I can buy that will allow me to quickly switch between binocular strap and a harness? The harness is easy to attach but the straps are a bit of a hasle. I like to use the straps for short birding outings, but for long birding events it hard to beat the comfort of a harness.
There are some small plastic quick-connect things(I don't know their name) that you push together with a click to connect and squeeze the sides to disconnect that might do the trick but I havent been able to find a place that sells them.
If you have a decent backpacking store nearby, they should have plastic side-release buckles. If not, Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics (owfinc.com) has a large selection of such hardware. Most are at least 3/4" wide though.
The steiner harnesses have those attachments. There great just check the web site and order them.
