What you want to do sounds similar to my setup. I like the feel of this Sony grip, but I like to attach my strap to diagonal corners of the camera body. This way the lens points down and doesn't bump around as much. Unfortunately, as you note, there's no easy way to attach a strap to the grip. I was lucky enough to pick up one of these grips on the Buy-Sell forum so I didn't feel as bad about making a mod to it. I took a dremel tool and made a small notch to the back of the grip so I could run a strap around it. See pic. It is a very overpriced grip and cuting into it was a little scary, but given my total investment in the camera system it seemed worth it to carry things just the way I like....Show more →
Very much what I should do. The only issue I need to be careful of is that I am using the peak design strap anchor and they have a limited size loop so I will have to measure it to see how thin I need to make the support. In the interim I have picked up a Peak Design Cuff so at least I have two anchors on the body, one on each side. Normally I use a Gordy wrist strap PD Cuff isn't have bad. I really thought about the Clutch but on that one you have to use the tripod hole but that was out of the question.

Nice setup. Good example photos for those looking to do something similar. Thanks for posting.
