20 Hand Strap

It'd be too wobbly I fear. Best to just simply remove the bottom attachment and then mount to tripod.

Jim, I understand that they are two completely different products. I don't let my 10D just dangle from my wrist, but I do feel a little bit safer knowing its straped to my wrist sometimes. When I don't need it, it unclips in a second. The hand/wrist support might be nice, but like you said, I'd like to try one first.

I guess if the wrist support gets too hot, you dont have to use it. Just close the wrist support, and let it dangle beside your wrist.
Jack, does the attachment block the battery compartment on the 10D?

Oh good! I was picturing you walking around with the camera dangling like a P&S tourist. It was not pretty. Thanks for wiping that vision from my mind...

Dris, yes, it does block the battery door a bit. Has to be loosened a bit so it can be turned out of the way; doesn't have to be totally removed though.
Also, this strap doesn't secure to your hand or wrist. I have it adjusted so it sort of keeps the camera snug in my hand, but I can still use my fingers to reach the buttons on th camera. I've used it on my G3, and now on my 20D with no problems, but you do have to pay attention to it.

WOW

Hakuba Hand Grip Camera Strap KGP-01

That is some grip wonder if it will work also with the battery grip on the 20D? Any ideas.

This appeals to me as I once had two guys threaten me at knife point shortly after getting my EOS 1000F (think it was called a Rebel in the US) back in the mid 80's. Lucky for me they were also being followed by undercover police and were arrested.

However, its an incident that unnerved me and I've never forgotten and never likely too...now I think twice about going anywhere on my own.
