5 Stars Works as advertized
I ditched my Nikon D3000 kit neck strap for this one. The neck strap was constantly getting in my way when shooting and was a bit abrasive to the neck. I always kept my camera in a shoulder sling that was compact and padded. Now I can just pull out the camera, slip my hand in the Opteka Wrist Grip Strap and shoot away. It feels comfortable and secure. I feel confident in not dropping the camera while just holding it with one hand. I also don’t have to readjust the wrist strap when I install Targus double battery grip either. I would recommend this to a friend.
5 Stars hand strap vs. neck strap… HAND STRAP
I just got this for my Canon 5d Mark II with the battery pack attached. I think i read somewhere that it wouldn’t fit with the batter pack… It does. I can’t believe that I’ve gone this long without a hand strap because it is amazing. My camera is big in nature and when you stick a heavy L series lens on it it becomes ridiculously heavy to wear around your neck. Also when I do weddings or any other event/portraiture photography the neck strap just got in my way. With the Hand strap you aren’t feeling trapped by your camera and you don’t feel the weight of that lens either. I feel secure with the hand strap on and it’s easy to carry and also easy to shoot without being hindered. The only complaint I had originally is that my hand got sweaty but i adjusted the strap a little and that solved that problem. This is an amazing product for under $10. I couldn’t recommend it more!
5 Stars Love this grip
I will never own another DSLR with out this grip. For the money you can go wrong I put this on my Nikon D200 W/Battery grip and it fits great. Only thing that is a problem is when mounting the bottom plate of my tripod to the tightening knob on the grip is that its not very sturdy but not a big deal I just unscrew the grip real quick and slap on my tripod plate then when I’m done just screw the grip back on and your back in business.
5 Stars Perfect for neck-strap haters
I hate the neck strap, I used to just wrap it around my wrist until eventually I just removed it entirely. That seemed dangerous, so I looked on Amazon and found this. I’ve been using this for several shoots now, and it’s perfect. No more neck strap dangerously swinging around to get caught on things, just this short hand-sized strap that makes the camera feel like it’ll fall out of my grip, even when I’m not gripping tightly. I was unsure about this, but it works like a charm.
4 Stars Good buy for price
I’m using this handstrap for my Canon T2i, and it works well, though the strap is a little confining for making menu/mode adjustments, so I have to compromise between being tight enough for security versus loose enough for operation. Could just be how I like to hold the camera, though– the strap works well, and I’m very happy with the product considering the cost of many other straps.
