5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a step up from using a neck strap for a steady shot, July 27, 2007

By	Ratboy55 (Hercules, CA) - See all my reviews

Fits like a wrist support for bowlers (which is a good thing). I used to straddle the neck strap on my camera "sniper style" to give me a steady shot (which was really efficient). After buying this grip, I got an even more steady aim. The neck strap can work in conjunction with this grip (I chose to remove the neck strap off my D80 permanently). I think another major plus of this grip is that it really aids with portrait/vertical shots. Your camera is practically attached to your right hand firmly. It's probably not for everyone, but it sure has given me better steady aim than I used to have with just the neck strap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way better than a neck strap, June 19, 2007

By	Jonathan B. Skaines (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've used this hand strap on my Canon Rebel XT the last few months and absolutely love it. It's comfortable and once I'm strapped in, I never worry about dropping my camera. Just be careful and use common sense when walking around a crowded place with your camera strapped to your hand. This came in really handy on my trips to NYC and overseas as it allowed me to hang my video camera around my neck while my Canon was ready to shoot at any time. Great product!

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid and comfortable grip, March 17, 2008

By	Aaron Shoemaker (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been using this grip on my D80 for about a month and absolutely love it. The grip itself is sturdy and comfortable, and with the wrist strap is attached there is no concern of losing control of the camera.

One of the earlier reviewers mentions that this is hard to put on and take off quickly, but this isn't a fault of the grip so much as picking the right tool for the job. If you take up and put down your camera every few minutes, then yes, get a standard grip. If you're shooting for extended periods, moving through crowds, or find yourself regularly looping your neck strap around your wrist for stability, this is the grip you want. I'm willing to spend five seconds securing the wrist strap so that I can shoot comfortably for half an hour or more. It's also entirely possible to simply use it as a hand strap and let the wrist portion hang free for quick shots.

The only downsides I have found to this grip is that it does effectively tie your hand to the camera, so scrambling over rocks and shaking hands becomes more complicated. Also, a moisture-wicking liner would be useful when shooting for extended periods in warm environments.

So, the short answer: If you need a simple, solid method for keeping your camera secure and ready to shoot, this is a fantastic option.
