Abstract: A swivel tether for attaching a camera via a cord to an object, the swivel tether including a side release buckle system having a ball joint connection that allows for 360 degree swivel functionality. This permits the camera to rotate freely without adding tension or twisting of the cord attached thereto and without causing a threaded connection between an end of the cord and the camera to become unthreaded due to rotation of the camera. The ball joint connection may be configured in the plug connection component of the side release buckle system. The side release buckle system also includes a slide lock switch operative to lock plug and socket portions of the buckle system together to prevent unintentional release of the buckle system when fastened.

Abstract: An enhanced camera transport system includes a primary strap and a selectively removable secondary strap which allows a user to comfortably carry and transport two cameras simultaneously. The straps each comprise couplers that are configured to engage with an attachment point on a camera otherwise reserved by engagement with a camera stand such as a tripod, monopod, or the like. Following general camera construction, the attachment points are found on the bottom of the cameras. In some embodiments, the couplers are slidably attached to the straps to assist with repositioning of the cameras from a transport position to a picture taking position.
