A new and improved release holding mechanism for utilization in conjunction with a wrist strap or the like, the present embodiment configured for utilization in conjunction with a caliper-jaws type release. As configured, the present system contemplates unique pivotal connection between the release extension member and the wrist strap, wherein the user can frictionally pivotally position the release relative to the wrist strap within a wide angular range, and the release will remain in the chosen position until re-positioned. The preferred embodiment of the present system contemplates a release system having first and second ends, a release caliper forming the first end and an angled, threaded connection member forming the second end, a wrist strap having inner and outer sides, with a first connection aperture formed therein, a connector tab situated in pivotal connection to the outer side supporting a grommet having a second connection aperture formed therein situated such that the first and second connection apertures are aligned to allow for the passage of the threaded connection member therethrough. Lastly, a first nut is situated in communication with the threaded connection member, in communication with the inner side of the wrist strap, and a second nut is situated also in communication with the threaded connection member, in communication with the grommet, the first and second nuts having juxtaposed in frictional communication therebetween the wrist strap.
