Never noticed the Luma Loop. I was thinking about the Blackrapid,
Sun-Sniper or Camdapter Slingstrap. Since I don't want to remove my QR
plate the only option was the camdapter sling. This Luma Loop has an
extra long option.
Now I don't know...
I have the Sun-Sniper that has the screw-lock carabiner.

I use the Bogen/Manrfotto RC2 Rapid Connect Plate.

The Sun-Sniper's screw-lock carabiner clips easily to the metal loop on
the screw Bogen/Manrfotto uses to mount the RC2 plate to the bottom of
the camera.
I recently saw a different way of doing it. Attach a QR adapter to the
sling using the supplied tripod thread nut & mount the camera to the QR
adapter using the QR plate on the camera.
(Bogen/Manfrotto RC 2 version)

The Quick Release plate stays on the camera and the Quick Release
adapter stays on the sling. Easily dismount the camera from the sling
when you want to mount it on the tripod.
The reason I prefer the Sun-Sniper is the steel wire woven into the
strap to reduce the chance a thief will be able to cut the strap and
steal your camera. I think mounting a QR adapter on the sling might
negate that protection.
