A photographer buddy pointed me to this site:
http://www.clipsystems.com/catalogue.htmlIt's a clip system for electronic items that uses a clip-plus-button approach. My plan is to get two Beltless Clips and two Camera Buttons. The Camera buttons have screws in them for attaching to camera mounting points.
I'll try using a soldering iron to melt a small hole in the existing nylon belt loops, then simply bolt the loops to the buttons using a washer and nut. Not only will I have belt clips, but the pouch should be removable without unclippling--just rlease the buttons.
I will report once I have made an attempt.
