Securing Camera to Scope

Hi all,

I hope this isn't too silly a question, but it's always bothered me that I've got over a grand's worth of camera relying on one small grub screw in the focusser to prevent it crashing to the ground. So I was wondering what mechanisms or devices people use to prevent the camera accidentally slipping out of the focusser? I tend to wrap the camera strap around the focusser wheels with the Canon, but my CCD has nothing similar.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I have the same worries so I use a screw in fitting instead. My old Vixen focusser takes a 38.4(?) mm thread and the CCD takes a T2 thread. I've got an adapter that converts one to the other
