p.1 #1 · Canon E1 Hand Strap for 1D Mk2?


Just got the Canon hand strap in the mail from Adaroma and I can't figure out how to get this damn thing attached to my camera. It came with one buckle, the strap and the leather (fake?) hand thingy.

Please help me get my stuff straight!

Melanie...I have one on the way, but I gotta ask ( his question has been asked and answered...including the diagram )

...where did the diagram come from? Certainly not with the strap...! else why ask the question.

Both the 1D and the 1Ds used to come supplied with the E1 hand strap so instructions for installing them were provided in their respective manuals. The BG-ED3 battery grip manual also contains insructions for the E1.

All the grip manuals have diagrams for installing the strap. The strap will not attach to the camera (without heavy modification) without a grip.

I'll admit I'm usually good with directions, but even with the instructions in hand it took me a couple of tries.

And once it's on, it is a must have! I feel a lot more secure holding the camera and my hands don't get tired or cramped. I was delighted with it!

Now all we need to know is why Canon don't supply the E1 with the 1DsII to start with - cheapskates! :-)

Actually, I ordered it, put it on after finding the instructions in the manual (the PDF has a really annoying watermark saying it's a copy - duh! and who but an owner would read the damned thing? Talk about paranoid.). It didn't do much for me. I just use my Contax RTS III camera strap now.

hmmm... i wonder if they'll continue making those straps after they discontue the cameras... who knows, they could make a killing doing it!

I use the grip on a 10D w/ battery grip. It took me some time to figure out how to attach it. The way I did it looks nothing like the diagram but I manged to make it hold (not sure how though) Directions would have been a nice thing to have with it...

I have it like the diagram on both my 1DmkII and 10D. I really like it. Never use any other strap

You find the instructions for the handstrap in the manual for the battery-grips
