1.0 out of 5 stars Velcro Junk, October 1, 2007

Usable by people with very small hands, adjusting is done with a Velcro
strap that is to short. On a heavy camera there is the risk of Velcro
strap suddenly letting go. Almost any other camera grip strap would be
as good or better than this. Covered with some sort of reflective material that makes you easy to spot when taking night pictures. My use was on a Nikon D-70.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a Hand Leash, not a Hand Grip - better for small SLRs, August 23, 2007

I have a Canon 1D Mark II - and I was buying the Camera Armor for that model (which works great btw) and this strap came with it free! If I had paid for it however, I would be sending it back.

The Good: It's made of great quality material and looks nice. It would probably work well with small SLRs or SLRs without battery grips. Especially if there are no other hand grip alternatives.

The Bad: The build does not feel very secure with a bigger camera like mine. If you let go of the camera it swings down but is saved at the last second if you don't let the strap slip off your hand. In this way, I would say it is less of a grip, and more of a leash. This is because it only attaches on the top of the camera. Also, the metal key ring scratches the black metal on Canon cameras.

Other notes: It is not as big as it looks. It is about 2 quarters wide. And it doesn't seem like it would fit people with bigger hands.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not safe enough, April 23, 2007

Compared to wrist straps the SafeGrip wraps around your palm. It doesn't feel safer than without it. It is also harder to use the camera controls with it around my hand.

The grip came with a ring missing. Customer support was quick to send out the replacement ring. They said there was a production batch missing the rings. If you can't attach the grip to you SLR, contact Camera Armor.

I bought a Canon WS20 Wrist Strap for Camcorders that works perfectly with my Sony Alpha DSLR.
