Canon E1 - Hand strap

Doesnt come with instructions on how to lace it correctly.
But after twittling with it, i got it on and it works perfect.
Love how its soft, and creates assurance that i dont have to use the neck strap because it is stiff enough as is to hold the cameras weight as my hand is in between the strap and camera.

It wasn't cheap for a bit of fabric and leather, but it is comfy. I never take it off my 40D. I am very happy I got this. The leather feels very soft and smooth on the back of your hand. Worth it if you shoot for long durations.

This product is very helpful while shooting my camera off hand for extended periods. The strap properly adjusted allows easy insertion of my right hand while providing a loose glove fit during shooting. The result is ability to have a relaxed grip on the camera without the chance of dropping the camera. I have one of these installed on each of 3 different Canon cameras. It does require installing an extended battery grip with has the required attachment point or a Pro Camera such as the EOS1 film or digital cameras which are already intended to accept this accessory.

I picked this up locally after seeing it online. I was very excited to use it as I mainly used my supplied Canon strap to just wrap around my wrist. It works great, but can't make it as tight as I planned. If you make it tight fitting, you can't use your fingers to adjust any settings, only press the shutter. This is okay though, as the camera can still 'hang' from your hand when you're not using it.

It came with no instructions though, and it was quite confusing for me to figure out how to hook it up until I found some instruction pictures posted by a thoughtful blogger.

I didn't know I should have a battery grip for using this. So if you guys want to use it and do not have a battery grip, don't buy this, otherwise, you should either return this product to the seller or need to buy a battery grip, which seems to me wagging the dog.
