Customer Reviews

Can't Live Without It!
I'm on my second Canon DSLR(a Rebel XT and now a 40D). Both Have had wrist grips, on my Rebel I used a knock of Kata Model. On my new 40 I opted to go with the E1. Once it was on I immediately noticed the difference in comfort, the canon version has a little more cushioning which really makes a difference after a full day of shooting.
This wrist strap is maybe the most important accessory second or equal to the battery grip. Once your dealing with a heavy camera and a lot of glass it's impossible to put a long lens on and still use the neckstrap, its too much weight on that part of your body.
The only downsides I found were this version unlike the cheaper one didn't come with a tripod mount, so if your not using the grip there is no where to put the strap if I recall!
I would highly highly recommend this and for anyone looking to get into the hobby more seriously it is a must have.

Canon EOS Hand Grip
I like this hand strap on my EOS30D. Can't keep the neck strap on the camera, but I didn't like the neck strap anyway- always got in the way. I can carry the camera around with the hand strap for an hour or so. And if my hand gets tired, I just put the camera back in the gadget bag and carry that on my shoulder. The aux battery pack is required to use this hand strap.

Strap REQUIRES battery grip
Although not an inherent problem with the strap itself, the description does not indicate that a battery grip is REQUIRED to install.
