What is the proper way to install E1 Hand Strap?

Agree Op/Tech is arkward to get in the 10D slot but what bothers me more is that once in, its tightness prevents it giving in to gravity in certain positions. Am thinking of attaching with a key ring at each end but such may scratch the camera.

Any other solutions?

Gees, I should learn to read the instructions After friggin around with the E1 and OP/Tech Pro Loop Weight Reduction System for the better part of an hour, I saw Tom's post about attatching the wrist strap. I figured that I had invented a new wheel and posted a long drawn out explaination of how to force the E1 strap through the eyelet with the neck strap loop already throught said eyelet. Then Scott posts a link and I look at that and in a matter of 3 seconds both are attatched properly.
Thanks Scott!
Now where did I put that instruction manual for the 10D

It's funny... I never even really looked at the instructions that came with the battery grip (even though that was my recommendation to you, Tom). I didn't realize there was an extra eyelet either. I have now joined the elite, that have the OP/TECH and E1 straps working together in unity. Now that feels good in my hand. Oh yeah baby... nirvana.

Hey, Laz. That's a fine shot. I've attempted similar photos here, but have only a collection of broken mirrors to show for my efforts. Some folks are just more photogenic than others.

It's a funny thing about Canon's printed instructions; when they come in booklet form, I read them. When they're folded multi-language instructions sheets, I tend to ignore them. I suupose I think that if there was anything really important to say, they'd put it in a book.

I mean, how difficult can it be to install a strap on a camera body? I guess we know the answer now.

Apparently... difficult enough to make all of us look a bit less intelligent than we already did. D'OH! At least now we are all "in the know", and can point and laugh at the newbies who come along, wide eyed with bewilderment, as they ask how to attach the E1 strap. Either that... or be laughed at by the newbies that come along, who point and laugh at those of us who were confused by such simplicity

Last night I was ready to break out the baleing wire and duct tape. That sucker would never have come off then

The links above now goes somewhere else and have a neck strap and the E-1.

No earthly idea how to make this work. amazon.com has the 'install' photos that make zero sense.

Help please! hehe

It's clumsy the first time you do it, but after a couple times it makes sense.
