Hi Guys

I want to save some $$.. :p

I just purchased a battery grip for my Xti I was wandering weather I can get the hand strap of my old video camera and put it my Xti as a hand grip? Would this be possible? I just have to unscrew something to get out the hand strap.. Is this possible?

Cheers

Give it a shot but you know you can get an E1 strap for around 20 bucks.

I am going to bet he can't. Probably closer to $50 in NZ. I made a hand strap from a piece of old leather camera strap and some small shoulder pad from a bag or purse. The leather is nice as it does not stretch and so is nice and snug. I attached it using a couple of the doohickeys that are on straps to control length. Works like a charm small, snug and doesn't say canon on it.
