Yes. But after reading that entire thread, I am reluctant to attach it
to the tripod socket of my D800. Last Sunday, I attached the BR to the
strap lug of the 800, because I forgot to attach the holding screw. My
guess is that since I attached the BR to the loop of the camera strap,
over time the strap will become worn. I am looking for other devices
after reading that thread.



FWIW, I've been using one mostly on my bare D200, but occasionally on
my bare D300 with no such issues. I'm not in love with it as much as
you are as I believe it allows the camera to bounce too much too
easily. This type of loading will cause an amplification of the forces
compared to static loading.But so far the tradeoff in terms of
ease/speed of getting the camera into position to shoot has outweighed
this negative for me with the 18-200mm attached.
