Hand straps

[Flashfreddy]

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a 7D with a canon battery grip,
I am looking for a hand strap to suit is there anyone out their
using one ? I would like to know what they think of them and what
is a good brand at a reseonable price?

Any reason why you are looking at a hand strap over something like a black rapid?

Just looked up the reviews on the black rapid strap looks lik that would be the way to go -cheers

If you intend using your camera on a tripod, there are options to put a arca swiss clamp on your strap. Black rapid do sell something but it's pretty expensive and I wouldn't consider it for that price when you can build your own for about $30.

I have battery grips on both my 400D and 7D and use hand straps on both combined with a Quick Rapid double sling (all 3 available on Ebay for under $35 the lot here and here) I have been using this combo for about 3 years now and find it great for both birds/wildlife and sports/motor sport.
Cheers
