I did some advice about a Camera Hand Strap Grip. Will one of these work with a 20D/40D with a Canon BG-E2N battery grip while it is attached to a Quickflip 350 Stroboframe? I think with this hand grip I will be able to carry/steady the camera because I have nasty lateral epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow) in my left arm. All this extra weight, camera, lens, battery grip, 580EX flash and flash bracket is hard on
my arm.

Dave I believe it will. I have one on my 40D and absolutly love it. You may have to remove the stroboframe to connect it but it should work.

Thanks for the info. I am sure I will like it but will I be able to use the flash bracket AND the battery grip at the same time? Thanks again.

if the stroboframe covers the lower hand strap attachment point on the grip and is tightly fitted to the bottom of the camera then it might not fit? otherwise you should be fine

i use a hand strap grip thatcmes with a plate which attaches uner the camera as i don't have a battery grip and my 40d does not have a lowerattachment point. so, maybe such a hand strap is the way to go in order to use it with your stroboframe?

i forget the name of my hand strap but it has a long attachment strap plus it is also leather...mine is from camadapter.

To me the hand straps are a must have accessory. I had carpal tunnel surgery a few years ago and the hand strap makes it so I don't have to hold the camera so tight all of the time.
