can someone recommend one for me? I think most handstraps require a grip or plate in addition?
I want something to help steady the camera when I'm shooting video clips

If you use a Arca Swiss tripod QR, just get a plate or L-plate with a strap mount for your camera and use the Canon or Markins hand strap.

tvphotog Cream of the Crop  More info | May 20, 2010 21:02 | #8 I use the Markins all leather strap which I find fits farther behind the knuckles, closer to the wrist, and makes the connection to the camera tigher. I found it better than the Camdapter. Haven't tried the Canon. Jay

I found it better than the Camdapter. Haven't tried the Canon. More expensive than the others, but the fit was worth it to me. The leather also form-fits to your hand. I too switched to the Markins strap after reading user comments here and I find it fits more comfortably than the Canon and Hakuba ones I had been using. The difference was subtle, but noticeable. I still use a Canon one as well, but my primary camera has the Markins strap on it.

I also have a camdapter and love it! I have an arca swiss plate though. (well now I have a grip so it is attached to that) I want to try the markins, because I have heard that it is more comfortable, but I just love my camdapter so why spend the money... {Brooke}

jriley Member 162 posts Likes: 7 Joined Feb 2010 Location: Maryland More info | Regarding the Camdapter straps. Can't I just attach it to me Arca style plate and not by their plate? I have a phot clam plate and it has slots in the sides, I assume for this reason.
