5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, May 28, 2008
By L. Williams (Clearwater, FL, USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Opteka Professional Wrist Grip Strap for Digital & Film SLR Cameras (Electronics)
This device is an absolute must-have for any photographer. It allows your hand to completely relax while your hand is at your side, yet still grip the camera with no stress. I use it on my Canon 40D with a large L series lens and it's comfortable enough to carry the camera without a shoulder strap for several hours without tiring. I would never use a professional camera without one of these wrist straps. It's very secure and prevents accidentally dropping the camera while at the same time easing the amount of force necessary to hold or steady the camera.

The strap attaches to the right shoulder strap loop on your camera, and has an attachment that screws into the tripod mount on the underside of the camera. Even with the wrist strap connected, there is an additional loop provided so that you can also attach a shoulder strap if desired, though I've never used this feature.

Unlike Canon's wrist strap, this unit can be used without the battery pack. A friend recently dropped her camera and did severe damage to it as she wasn't using one of these wrist straps. It's a very inexpensive bit of comfort and insurance that you'll come to love.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Yellow" of the "Egg"..., June 23, 2008
By Herbie (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Opteka Professional Wrist Grip Strap for Digital & Film SLR Cameras (Electronics)
As a pro with more than 30 years in the business, I have never used this type of camera strap - I always wiped it away as a "Micey Mouse Thing".
Now, after all these years I finally purchased one and I can't believe the difference...
Okay, much safer than hand carrying - but this is the secondary part - the important difference is the feel, and the sensitivity in the trigger-finger. While normally the fingers merely occupied holding the camera, you have now the weight different distributed and your fingers free for the actual important and sensitive task to push buttons, turn the wheel etc. A must-feel-experience!
I can't believe the difference! I just ordered the second one for another camera....
To go more in detail - my cameras are quite heavy and most of them have a battery grip. This makes the distance between tripod mount and upper strap attachment perfect for this hand strap. On most of my cameras I have about 4+ inches, adequate to have the strap snug around my hand - firm and comfortable at the right length. If I try the strap on a smaller camera with only about 2+ inches height, or without battery grip, the handling appears rather odd.
Therefore, if you have a larger camera, or use a battery grip, the opteka strap does amazing things for you. If your camera does not have a battery grip, you might not absolutely share my exhitement for it.
Either way, it is definitelly worth trying, considering the relative low price.
The quality appears okay and the looks is good. The leather part is actually some type of nylon or artificial leather - let's see how long this is holding up under heavy pro use.
Highly recommendable! Great price!
It takes a lot of hand shaking out of shooting and will definitelly help to get sharper pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the MUST have add-on for every digital slr owner, March 20, 2008
This review is from: Opteka Professional Wrist Grip Strap for Digital & Film SLR Cameras (Electronics)
All you have to do is adjust it to fit your hand size and bam, it becomes part of your camera. You will never take it off once you put it on. Very comfortable and secure. Holding my slr for hours used to take its toll on me but not anymore.
