I use the Blackrapid w/a safety tether which I made using paracord and a small clip. My setup is a bit different and centered around the arca swiss format).
I have RRS plates on all my cameras (new owner of the X-T2) and still use my DSLR. I've attached the BlackRapid to a RRS Screw-knob clamp, which I can use on whichever camera I'm using at the time, and can easily move to my tripod w/no effort or having to fiddle with hardware. It's really the best in terms of ease and quick transitions if I'm carrying both bodies.
If I switch to a large lens (which mine have arca swiss plates), it's as easy as loosening the screw plate, and uncliping the tether.
