Any recommendations for a good but not big wrist strap for M6II?

Re: Any recommendations for a good but not big wrist strap for M6II?

I occasionally shoot concert events where two bodies are substantially more efficient than having to constantly change lenses - e.g. I might have a 6D + 70-200L around my neck and a M6II + EF85 f/1.8 prime on my wrist.  Even when hanging on my wrist the weight of the M6 & smaller prime does not inhibit shooting with the larger 6D + L zoom ... and I can switch back & forth quickly.

When I'm doing the tourist thing I usually carry the M6 (on my wrist) and a couple of M lenses in a small shoulder bag.  Since the camera is always by my side except when shooting, most people don't even realize I have a camera.  The system is simple, inexpensive, and it works well - at least for me.

The only downside (and it's not a downside for me) is this wrist strap is NOT a quick detachable type.  I've tried several of the detachable straps, even tried adapting a quick release to my current wrist straps and I was never satisfied with the security of the release mechanisms that I was using.  I purposely tested several of the quick release setups and was able to break most of them with little effort.  So the OEM direct connection is all I trust at this point.
