Canon E1 Hand Strap [Posted on 2008-11-19]
Doesnt come with instructions on how to lace it correctly.
But after twittling with it, i got it on and it works perfect.
Love how its soft, and creates assurance that i dont have to use the neck strap because it is stiff enough as is to hold the cameras weight as my hand is in between the strap and camera.

I use this with my Canon 20D with battery grip. I love this strap. You can carry you camera around all afternoon and it takes most of the weight off of your hand.

It does the job [Posted on 2008-12-02]
It's not a cheap hand strap since it carries the CANON logo. I bought two of these & used them on my 5D & 40D. Adjusting the length on initial installation is a bit hectic, though it stays once the adjustment is done.

If I'm allowed to have a wishlist for Canon's handstrap, I hope they mark Canon mark as red or something. I'm a proud Canon user, & I want it to be stand out when I carry my camera. It does have embossed Canon logo, though it looks dull & dark that no one recognize it's made by Canon if you're more than 3 feet away.

There's a couple of after-market products, though I would strongly recommend to use what is official Canon product.

Great strap, works well. Highly recommended.  [Posted on 2008-12-11]
I received the Canon E1 Hand Strap a few days ago, and I'm very pleased. It is very comfortable, as some have noted, and really assists with holding your camera safely and with less fatigue. I am using mine on a Canon Rebel XSi with the mandatory battery grip.

Attaching the strap is tedious, follow the instructions a kind reviewer loaded (image above) or that are included with your battery grip. Don't tighten the strap too much, you will not be able to adjust controls other than the shutter with your index finger. Your camera will still be stable as it cantilevers from the strap across the back of your hand.

You can attach the neck strap simultaneously, as I did. By doing this you not only have use of the two straps, the neck strap also covers the small black attachment that connects it to the hand strap (so as to minimize any scratches on your camera). If you don't need both, just the hand strap, I would skip the install of this piece. When you look at the install diagram you will see which piece this is.

All in all, I recommend this purchase and rate it 5 stars.

GET A GRIP !!! [Posted on 2008-12-20]
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.
