Yes, that’s correct. So I can mount the camera on the tripod with the strap
attached. Since the trap is a sling it’s quite long, so I sometimes boop the
strap over my head when using the tripod. It provides insurance againt spills.

Not sure I understand. Does your Arco type plate have an additional
tripod socket on the plate itself so you can leave the plate in place &
screw the Black Rapid's connector into the plate?

Yes, itis annoying that they don't give you the actual correct answers
in therms of what is going on... maddening..
I wonder if doing a screen shot of the photo itself , save the file,
and then doing an image search on google would result

... and another thing - when you get to the end of the game and receive
the results it should have some kind of captions to tell you something
about the photo besides how wrong you were about the year it was taken.
Some of them are pretty obvious. I got one of the guy running with the

The Black Rapid attaches to a tripod socket as well. I bought an Arco type
tripod plate that includes a tripod socket adjacent. It remains on the camera
full time.

I wonder how they score them? Looks like it's 1000 if you get it right
on the year & 900+ if you get within one year, ... but I wonder how much
they deduct per year.
But it IS a rabbit hole!

Looks like the target market is photographers who use sling straps that
attach to the tripod socket on the bottom of a camera. One problem with
those is you have to disconnect the strap to put the camera on a tripod.

interesting about what you see I saw nothing from the USA.. it is rather
intriguing I may go back to it now and then.. However, it can't help
that between 1960 and 1980 I had no TV.. but funny that you posted
this quiz at the same
Yet most of the pictures I get to see seem to be more centred upon the USA, or
things relating to it like the Vietnam war.
