2 out of 5 stars not all that useful   August 3, 2007
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have an XTi (400D) with the BG-E3 grip. I bought the handstrap because I wanted to securely hand-carry the camera. (I find the neck strap rather uncomfortable.)

The hand strap works fine, but because of the relative geometry of my hand, the camera, and the strap, my fingers end up nowhere near the controls when my hand is securely under the strap. That is, with the strap securely over the back of my hand, my fingers are near the lens, not the camera controls. This is not very workable.

A minor issue is that this thing is pretty tricky to tie/untie, and the instructions are in the BG-E3 pamphlet -- the strap does not come with one.

Another less minor issue is that the neckstrap and handstrap are connected when tied properly, so it's a hassle to remove one or the other without dealing with both.





5 out of 5 stars Great add-on for extra battery pack.   August 1, 2007

I use this handstrap with my 20D when I have the extra battery pack attached and it's great.
Highly recommended.



5 out of 5 stars Very Handy Accessory   July 19, 2007
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I'm using the Canon 20D with the BG-E2 battery grip (a must in order to utilize this hand-strap) and this is a very nice accessory to have. It not only gives me a much better sense of security with my shooting, but it is very comfortable. Sometimes I use it as a padding for my palm instead of use it as a strap. It's just a GREAT product. Definitely suggest getting it if you have the BG-E2 (or any other) grip attached.


4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Strap   June 13, 2007

The strap is a good strap, it makes the camera handle a lot easier and feel more stable. It's tricky to figure out how to attach the strap to the camera. It requires the optional battery grip (which I have). I wrote Canon about attaching the strap, they told me to contact the retailer so I wrote Adorama Camera, they told me to contact Canon. I thought either should have helped me with this issue and was disappointed with both of their answers. I figured it out - I think - at least it's on there and feels secure.

This product is a must for any photographer on the move, and also those who have the battery grip. Its easy to attach and gives you a very comfortable feel/hold on your camera.
