"By mounting the camera strap via the tripod socket, this device instantly eliminates strap tangle and makes shooting more comfortable," Ivan Wong, Custom SLR chief operating officer, said.
Made of aerospace grade aluminum and available in an anodized black finish, the $24.95 C Loop Mini is available directly from Custom SLR.

Custom SLR Launches the C-Loop Mini, a Tangle-Free Camera Strap Mount for Point-and-Shoot, Mirrorless and Micro Four Thirds Cameras
Building upon the overwhelming success of its first Kickstarter funded product, the C Loop, Custom SLR has designed the C Loop Mini specifically for compact cameras.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Custom SLR, a camera accessories company in Silicon Valley, has announced the immediate availability of its latest product, the C Loop Mini, a camera strap mount for point and shoot, mirrorless and micro four thirds cameras.
Building upon the success of its first product, the C Loop, which was launched through crowdfunding site Kickstarter, Custom SLR designed the C Loop Mini to have all the same functionality, with the added benefits of being lightweight and small enough to work perfectly with compact cameras.
"The original C Loop has become a core accessory for many dSLR photographers who use straps," said Ivan Wong, chief operating officer of Custom SLR. "With the growing trend toward mirrorless cameras, we wanted to give photographers who use compact cameras the same great shooting experience. The C Loop Mini is our solution. By mounting the camera strap via the tripod socket, this device instantly eliminates strap tangle and makes shooting more comfortable."
With its 360 degree swivel, the C Loop Mini rotates to provide smooth panning and prevent tangled camera straps. Photographers will notice the improved performance of having their camera hang comfortably and securely at their side for easy access whenever a picture perfect moment strikes.
The C Loop Mini is compatible with OEM and aftermarket camera straps for Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus and more. It is also compatible with Custom SLR's entire line of camera straps, including the Glide One, Air Strap and Hand Strap. For tool free installation, the device can be tightened by hand and also features a slot where it can be tightened with a coin for added security.
Made of aerospace grade aluminum and available in a sleek, anodized black finish, the C Loop Mini is durable and blends well with any camera. Its small and compact profile makes it perfect for travel as well.
In 2010, Custom SLR launched its first project on Kickstarter, the C Loop, which exceeded its funding goal by 321 percent. Since then, the company has gone on to successfully crowdfund four more photography products, including the Air Strap, M Plate and ProDot. With the release of the C Loop Mini, Custom SLR is giving a nod to its humble beginnings and delivering a product that compact camera users have long awaited.
