I recently tested the Spider holster at wedding; gotta say, I'm liking it. I'm going to get another holster for the other cam and go strapless. http://www.shiningmomentphotography.com

I only have the strap on when I will be out all day with only the camera and 1 lens. Such as theme parks...etc...etc and may need my hands for something. If I bring more than that I use my small backpack, and leave the strap at home. When taking the whole kit... It goes in the big bag....and the strap still stays at home. It is very rare for me to have the strap on the camera. They cause more problems than worth the "safety" they provide.

But I do hate it hanging down, so when I take it off my shoulder to shoot, I grab the strap in a certain spot and wrap it around my hand/wrist. Doing this lets me grab the camera while having the strap wrapped around my wrist and not dangling.

reddyroc007 Senior Member 809 posts Joined Jan 2009 Location: Iqaluit, NU More info | Mar 19, 2010 21:50 | #39 when i use my shoulder strap i wear it cross the chest style. i was out with another photog a few weeks back and he would wrap it around his hand and i've been doing that quite a bit lately too. I do have moments when i find the strap cumbersome so i know how the OP feels but for my baby's safety it is required to be there. i have been thinking about getting a longer strap however. chris

How does this hand grip work wihtout a grip? Or, another thought, could it make my grip feel better in my hands or is that something that won't change unless my hand size does?![]() I have no love for grips on the prosumer bodys such as my 7D, but I love to use an E1 handgrip. I got a RRS L bracket which allows me to use one without a grip. It's also great for the tripod.
