p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wrist/Hand strap options


I don't like to use the neck strap or one of those blackrapid straps. I use wrist/hand strap. But recently it became uncomfortable (maybe my hands got larger). So I wanted to ask you for any recommendations for this kind of camera "handling" devices :-) I'm using 5Dm2, have also a grip I use sometimes. Thanks for any recommendations.

I like the Canon E1, but I don't know if that's the style you are looking for. You have to use the grip, and you have to buy them aftermarket, as Canon doesn't make them anymore. Cowboy Studios sells them cheap, and although they may be a knock-off, they are great quality.

Canon now sells the E2 for a lot more money. The advantage is that it comes with an adapter that screws into your tripod socket so you don't need the grip.

There are other aftermarket grips that actually wrap more around your wrist and hand, so the camera is held more securely:

I use something like Canon's E1 strap, but the cushon is too short and my hand is being squeezed on the bottom edge of the camera. That's why I was looking for something bigger/better. Seems like camdapter ones could be what I'm looking for (and they come with tripod mounting plate).
