Digital camera reviews of Canon 2344A001 E1 Hand Strap for Eos Rebel Series

Digital camera Review: Extra Confidence...
Summary: 5 Stars

I ordered this hand strap to provide the extra margin of error needed when handling the camera by the battery grip without the security of the neck strap. There are times when I don't use the neck strap (except for toting the camera on my shoulder, it's too heavy and large to have around my neck).

The only complaint I have about this product is that it came in a plastic bag with a cardboard tab labeled "Canon". There were no instructions included and it was not assembled in the way it installs on the camera.

Fortunately two people have posted to this product page instructions for attaching the strap, including the part I most wanted - how to use both the neck and hand straps together. Thanks to those folks for providing what the manufacturer failed to provide.

I think the strap itself might benefit from being wider across the back of the hand - the load-bearing strap is very narrow and the pad helps but it would benefit from a wider section passing through the leather piece.

Digital camera Review: GET A GRIP !!!
Summary: 4 Stars

I had purchaced this Hand Strap to give my neck a break. It works great, once its adjusted. But what I have found is a need for my neck strap back. So I am trying to find a way to add some sort of quick release to be able to quickly change back and forth between the two. But if your tired of hanging your Digital SLR with a larger lense around your neck this for you. It also is better when you tripod your camera. Neck strap is not in the way.
Okay, its been a year since using this strap and I have to admit.... I love it. I would much rather carry it than have my heavy camera hanging around my neck. If your using more than one camera, then you better keep the neck strap.

Digital camera Review: Get a grip
Summary: 4 Stars

Great idea, but it would help if it came with some instructions for installing it. Especially if you still want to use the neck strap.

Digital camera Review: Good Product, not so good instructions
Summary: 5 Stars

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a D series camera. (10D-20D-30D etc.)Just the fact that you don't have to carry a big-bulky-unit around your neck is a plus.
The instructions can be a little complicated as others have stated. Come on canon, you guys can definitely illustrate it a little better. Also once you finally get the strap on, adjusting it basically takes undoing the whole thing and starting over.
Overall though a good accessory.

Digital camera Review: Good build quality
Summary: 5 Stars

I do not know if I like using this product. I purchased an off brand battery grip that does not have the neckstrap anchor to attach this handstrap to. Therefore, I cannot use this until I spend the extra money to buy the Canon Battery Grip. Appears to be built well and I have seen many pros use this for the extra security and stability.
