Does anyone know a good quality hand strap for people with big hands? I don't have the battery grip and not planning on it for some time. Any opinion is appreciated.

It comes with a plate and such and if you're a big enough nerd like so many of us you can get the black strap with red stitching to match all of your LLLLLLLLLLLLLLL's. Do a search in this section and you should find a thread on it. Gear List | Feed Back | My Site

just received a herringbone and I don't like it and will be selling it .. also I just received a setup from carry speed which includes a wrist strap which I love .. in fact I just ordered a second wrist strap for my 50d .. "if you are tired of starting over , then don't QUIT "

Can you explain to those of us who own and love the Herringbone what causes you to 'dislike' it? R3 | R6 II | 8-15L | 15-35L 2.8 | 28-70L F2 | 85L 1.2 | 70-200L 2.8

just don't like it , doesn't feel secure and I have a hard time useing the back buttons with it .. my hands are large .. with the carry speed it's around the wrist and I feel more secure with it .. I have in the past done what is shown on u-tube of wraping the neck strap around my wrist .. "if you are tired of starting over , then don't QUIT "

It's actually much better suited to the 60D it would seem. I have avg. sized hands and it's just right. Canon 6D | 50 | 70-200 |
