After many years of standard issue camera straps and lugs I still find them a pain!I still use them but I have sown on a much softer shoulder strap cover which was a huge improvement...............But, those horrible triangular lugs........they seem to catch, trip, flip over and get caught in their positions......many a bird shot missed due to having to untangle the damned lugs.....................I just don't get why they are triangular!Taking off the strap is a time consuming pain also......all the threading through.I'm not against the strap per se, I just would like to find a good solution to replace the triangular lugs with something which is easy and secure, yet unclips simply, so any suggestions would be welcome.............no fancy shooting belts/straps etc..........just lugs that you take off the camera in a jiffy!Thanks in advance....

They are part of a strap system with stretchy neoprene padding and quite comfortable.I currently have 5 of these straps in service which are used regularly. I use them on heavy medium format cameras and have done so for many years with no issues. If you're an animal rights activist you might be offended that they have leather partsIf you're the paranoid type regarding plastic components, these things will probably give you an ulcerNot for any good verifiable reason, but just because they are plastic, which many people simply can't abide for personal reasons.I had occasion to remove the plastic connectors from one of these things in the course of modifying it for another use.  I had to cut them off with a large wire cutter and they were very tough.I am aware of exactly one unverified internet report of a failure, but I'm willing to change my opinions if someone were able to link to some photos of failed pieces.   I would be interested in reviewing them. If you search this forum you can probably find the report.If you can tolerate a strap that attaches at the tripod socket or some such thing (I can't) then you might investigate the Blackrapid style strap. They cause the camera to hang in a different manner but whether you can tolerate that or not is an entirely personal opinion.It is however easy to find reports of the metal Blackrapid type connectors failing. I rather like metal products myself, but metal is not always the best choice. Caused somewhat of a buzz on the internet a few years ago. Google Blackrapid failure and you'll get a number of reports, with pictures, many on this site.

Most have design flaws, others are just prone to being connecting incorrectly or disconnecting inadvertently.QD connectors are used to hold guns on slings, and I've never seen, or heard, of one failing.

I found those with large plastic clips joining the straps together to get in the way when holding without the straps fitted.https://www.peakdesign.com/product/straps/

I usehttps://optechusa.com/lots of options to meet your needs and also have neoprene straps which make carrying a breeze if like me you use your neck.I just use a classic strap.

As I said, I am happy enough with the straps themselves (after modding with a soft material)I just want some clips like mini carabineers for example with threaded sleeve to lock it closed.....for swift removal.I've more straps than a brassiere store!https://www.flickr.com/photos/124690178@N08/

(right lug has a paracord "oh crap!" wrist strap).  So far it's worked like a charm.The marketing bumph has the anchors rated for 200lbs and the design has wear indicators (mine haven't worn through...yet).  While I'm in no hurry to test this out it seems to do just fine with my 200-500+D750.

I attached an Arca Swiss plate to the foot which has a means to mount the anchors.Still the foot takes too much room in my bag for my liking while I usually don't take a tripod or monopod so I bought this replacement foot:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Metal-Lens-Collar-Holder-Tripod-Mount-Ring-for-Nikon-AF-S-200-500mm-F5-6E-ED-VR/252453737801?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649You can remove the foot from the collar by loosening two allen screws. I'm now in the process of boring a hole in the collar to attach the Peak Design anchors, must make sure it has no sharp edges.

Since I got a Tenba Shootout 32l bag, I got plenty of space for the lens/foot/hood, so space wasn't a big issue for me at least since the Kirk foot is longer, but more low-profile. As a suggestion--you might be able to get a D-ring with a 1/4" or 3/8" screw that should be rated to carry more than your D750+200-500.  If you don't use the screw holes to mount your lens foot to a mono/tripod, you might be able to mount that to the top of your foot as the anchor attachment points and it won't interfere with your QR foot.  Just a thought, though.
