Is there another add-on I can get that will allow me to use the strap, without a grip? check out these guys, they are actually Arca Swiss compatible quick release plates with a handstrap lug. However they provide a new 1/4" hole for non AS tripod heads, or whatever. Canon 6D, 1DmkII, IR modified 5DII with lots of Canon L, TSE and Zeiss ZE lenses

Pinto Always in our hearts and minds. R.I.P.  More info | Jan 03, 2007 21:17 | #11 I use a 3rd party hand strap without a grip and definitely wouldn't want to be without it. I was so glad to see that camdapter finally made a plate to fit RC2 Manfrotto quick release adapters. It's my next purchase.
