Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Opteka Professional Wrist Grip Strap for Digital & Film SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Wrist Grip for Canon XSi
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this wrist strap for use with a Canon XSi DSRL. The included longer strap felt a little silly to me since it was such a small camera and it was weird having it on my shoulder or around my neck. I wanted really a wrist strap since the camera was small enough to be able to hand hold most of the time with a little bit of support from a strap.
This wrist strap does the job. It's not extremely comfortable to use, but it isn't unbearable either. Since I have purchased this, I don't even carry around the included strap at all anymore. I am not a professional just an enthusiast, but I find it's more convenient to have my camera in my hand and if I think I'm not going to be using my camera for awhile place it in my camera bag.
It is comfortable enough to be used for extended periods of time. On hot humid days though the material isn't pleasant to have against your skin for extended periods of time. Having the wrist strap on the camera doesn't require me to make any adjustments in my camera bag. I can still place my camera in it's slot and it's actually easier then when I had a neck strap since I don't have to account for a large strap.
Some cons I have noticed:
You can't set the camera down level on a table when using this. Because it screws into the tripod attachment slot on the camera bottom, the bottom portion causes the camera not to sit level on the surface. It will either end up balancing precariously or more often balancing using your lens (which I don't imagine is ideal). If a flash is mounted on the camera it only compounds this problem. If I need to quickly place my camera down, I might place it on it's side so that it doesn't fall over, otherwise I don't often put the camera down just in fear of it being knocked over.
The wrist strap does prevent you from using the included neck/shoulder strap or a most other strap setups. I know for many people you wouldn't necessarily want to use both, but I don't think it would have been too difficult to have made it so both could be used (in the event you wanted too).
I'd highly recommend this product and if mine broke for some reason I'd get it replaced.
