I would get 2" cam bands with SS buckles; much better

You don't need a QR for the crotch strap

Have a look here http://www.leisurepro.com/Catalog.aspx?op=dtSearch&Term=cam bands
 
@ sangP
im sorry , this is the only time i researched because this is the only time i plan to purchase everything

i bought the back plate ( 4 months ago) first because i saw a sale on scuba toys

now that i saw a sale again for transplate harness i plan to order 1 also, im asian so i order online and ask somebody to send it over here because the price here is pretty steep compared to US

my initial plan for the wing was oxycheq extreme but after awhile i think dive rite wings are good enough already plus its cheaper im planning to have travel exp but still looking for bargains

i hope i answered your questions sir SangP , i inquired here because i was hoping somebody could help me, thank you to sir Tortuga68 and fisheater ( thanks for your response guys, it helped me decide quickly)

if you need any other information sangP just ask and i will answer it

waz555,

Please drop the sir, it's really not necessary.

For your future reference it may be cheaper and easier to just buy the entire bcd from one supplier and you can get great advice from them too.

I really enjoyed talking to Edd at Cave Adventurers!, We will NOT be undersold!!! and Randy at Piranha Dive Manufacturing

Generally shops will give you a good discount for a complete purchase rather than bits n pieces.

Since, you already got the plate this is what I would recommend. You won't need the padding on the transplate harness as a lot of guys remove it, that and it cost $109.

Padded harness:
Hollis Elite Harness Last Years Model reviews and discounts, Hollis

I rather get this:
Dive Rite Basic Harness
or

There are many different versions here:
Scuba harnesses

I would also get the 2" crouch strap as it feels a lot more secure and more comfortable.
Dive Rite Crotch Strap 2-Inch

If the wing doesn't come with an STA I got myself these guys:
Oxycheq Mini Single Tank Adaptors (M-STA)

For tank straps I prefer straps that allow for separation of buckle from strap for easier packing.
Xs Scuba Tank Bands with Stainless Steel Cam Buckles (Pair)

Lastly for wings, I would strongly recommend that you just send Edd or Randy an email and tell him what/where and you'll be diving and they'll help you with what you need btw, this is the holiday weekend in the US so be patient.

I got for myself a Oxycheq Mach V - Extreme Series 30lb but the standard wing is more than good enough really, Oxycheq Mach V - Signature Series 30lb.

He'll also help you with getting the right bolts/wings nuts etc.

Where are you from anyway?

why is the s/s cam buckle strap so expensive 88 usd compared to others that cost 24 usd only

$44 not $88, it's sold as a pair.

thank you

I won't get the low profile cam because it's for deco/stage bottles and won't fit well on a standard STA.

You also don't need the set as you already have a plate unless you want an alu plate.
