Attaching camera holster to rucksack

I have a CCS holster that I want to attach to the D rings on my ruscksack straps. This way I don't have to delve into a backpack when I want to use the camera.

Has anyone got a suggestion for where I could get some straps that would do this?

You could search for 20mm webbing ( or 25mm etc ) on ebay and design your own. There are clips and sliders and different colours of webbing. Just use sharp scissors to cut and cauterise the webbing ends with a lighter.

(search for "20 mm Black Acetal Buckles" looks like that and a little webbing would do the job).

There are small S-biners about, a kind of double ended carabiner, however, I would check how secure these are before trusting a camera to them, the gate seems easily opened.
Lurking is shirking.!

Why not try screw-lock carabiners?

Come in different sizes, shapes/designs and prices.

Hello Dave
I may have missunderstood what you are trying to do but altho' I do not have a CCS holster, I have for some years used a Lowepro Topload which I hang round my neck and secure the holster from swinging around by passing the waist strap of my rucksac through the loop at the back of the holster. Works well as the camera is easily available helped by the Topload opening away from you.
Also you can put the camera strap round your neck with the camera stored in the holster part for virtually instant use.
Have to be careful taking off the rucksac tho'!
