Ditto what Marriard said. Except I get the coiled lanyard that has a brass snap on the end rather than the plastic one as shown, I've had those plastic ones break.

Yup, I vote with Dee...get the metal/brass clips. After a while the plastic ones I have had either bust or the little clippy bit gets a bit bent and doesn't want to close properly.
An alternative is a bit DIY...one brass clip on BCD (with the webbing looped through your D-ring), one brass clip on a spliced rope with loop spliced on other end. Loop to BCD clip, other clip on camera arm/tray. Rope is light, cheap and won't break. Releasing unit is very easy one-handed if you ever need to ditch. Extra clip and rope is great for tricky entries & single person exits. This is pretty much how I have my video cameras set up (except the loop goes over an empty weightbelt) for my crew to film and it works extremely well...and no one can break it!
