Hakuba Camera Grip LH, Grip/Hand Strap

It's ok.I have a Nikon D3300 with a battery grip. The strap fits good. However it is a little clumsy when taking sideways shots. The battery grip helps. It gives a extra shutter button when shooting vertical. I would have given it 5 stars but it has. no quick release

It was easy on and to adjust, a snap to attach

Very good, Works well with a battery pack on canon mark 2.Hard to move some controls with trigger finger but that is easy to over come.

I've been using the strap for a few weeks now and I love it! Seriously, why would you spend more money when something cheaper works just as good? I think the connecting parts are sturdy, and I have seen no problems!

I bought this grip strap a few years ago for my D100 and it worked great, the freedom it gave over the neckstrap is amazing. However I recently purchased a new D5100 as an upgrade from the D100 and the strap design conflicts with the camera body. I had to file down the little tab on the strap to keep it from interfering with the LCD display.

I tried this grip because I was tired of messing with the neck strap and wanted something that wouldn't catch on things when I got my camera out. It attached fairly easily, but the base plate is supposed to align with the camera by way of a small tab that keeps it from rotating. The base plate was a little flimsy, but overall the grip installed OK. I have large hands and found that the angle of the strap/pad was not quite right, so I cut off the alignment tab and now have the base plate rotated about 30 degrees which changes the angle to about the right place. I have been liking the grip in my first outings with it, and am happy to have the neck strap gone. I think I'll end up keeping the grip on most of the time. It has a tripod mounting hole on the bottom of the base plate, and with the plate rotated, I can access the battery compartment reasonably well.

it works as expected. materials and assembly are good. the only bad thing is that it kind of block the battery trap so you need to slightly move the bottom plastic. not a big deal but the design could have taken that into account in my opinion

This is the best hand strap I have purchased. I use it while shooting theater shows and events for camera support. I have had others and this one is more comfortable, heavy duty and supportive of your camera than I've had in the past. I'm not a lover of camera straps around the neck. Especially since I carry a Lowepro camera sling. It is much quicker to get your camera into shooting position out of the sling with this hand strap than with a hanging camera strap. For those times I also want to use a neck strap I use OP/TECH adapt-ins and OP/TECH Utility Strap with Swivel hooks. It is a quick clip system. So I feel I have the best of both worlds. But I mostly use the hand strap. The only negative about this strap is it seems to loosen as you use it. Its not a big deal I guess you just tighten the strap every so often. All in all I'm very happy with it.

Helps elbow when it gets sore from holding camera too long.

A well-made product. I bought one for a Canon XSi nearly five years; the grip is still in good shape as is the webbing and I've carried it over much of Europe. I just bought a second one for a Canon 7D. You will need to experiment a little to achieve optimal fit because everyone's hands are different. For example, I adjust the grip to be tight only when my hand is on the camera in shooting position; my straightened thumb and the outter edge of my palm provide the locking rigidity while the weight is carried on my knuckles -- my other fingers are basically relaxed. As I lower the camera, my thumb naturally bends and camera rides loosely, but securely, cupped on my fingers, with the weight still riding on my knuckles.

No more camera straps in the way

The only thing I don't care for is how this "secures" to the camera. Following instructions, I'm still able to pull the strap to where the hand opening becomes wider, losing grip. There seems to be plenty of strap to keep it from coming completely loose, but not having the strap completely secure is not a secure feeling. The bottom plate is a pretty flexible plastic, which concerns me a bit as well. Over all, it's still on the camera, so that says something. Would recommend with above cautions.

Takes care of the neck strap issue. I have an "S" hook on my belt to hang my camera on when not in use, works great.

Lightens the load of DSLR and long, heavy lens.

I really like this grip. Plain and simple, it does what it's supposed to. I will say that it does loosen up easily, so I just fed the strap back through the plastic thingy one more time. Worked like a charm!

I've tried everything. Regular straps. Padded straps. Rapid straps. Finally decided to try a hand strap. It has revolutionized my photography. So much easier to hold the camera and support it. I no longer have a right hand claw at the end of a 8 hour wedding. I'm still giving it 5 stars even though I have to loosen it a little (but not take off) when I go to change the battery. Because it's not much of an inconvenience. I also sometimes have a problem with my vertical shots but I think that's mainly user error :) Overall I highly recommend it. Great value. I now have one for every camera.

great comfortable design. works with just about any DSLR. it is comfortable and great for long walking trips. the only complaint i have is that when attached to a tripod, it tends to loosen up and offers less support. What i Love about this product is that it offers a solution for you personal neck strap as well, the best of both worlds.

Shoot street, bottom pivot strap, hense, wish it was an alloy not plastic as I don't want the camera to "pop" off. I would pay 2X if it was metal. Tends to warp after a while, like a year. Covers battery, no big deal. An issue with an extended grip or D3. Better then others I've had.

From other reviews I was concerned it would block the flip-out screen on the T3i, but it doesn't. No battery grip required. A good value.

When I am shooting I like to hold my camera, not have it hanging on my neck or shoulder. This hand grip is perfect for event photography or anytime you are just plain busy shooting lots of images.

If you are busy shooting and not carrying a camera around, this is a comfortable and functional bit of kit.

I feel confident in the hold it gives me on my camera when carring it or shooting pictures

The grip is marked LH, but is fully usable for the right hand. I now wonder what I did without it before since it gives me full confidence to hold the SLR single-handed with heavy lens fitted. Everybody should have one.

Most reviews said that the hand grips don't work with a battery pack attached. I use this with my Nikon D7000 WITH the battery pack and it fits great with room for adjustments. Definitely a great product for an even better price! I plan on buying a second one as soon as I get another D7000.

Plastic bottom latch is not fit into Sony A55 body. The latch should be cut. Once it was screwed to the body, the plate became curved and did not cling together. The grip is secure and comfort. You should remove it when battery or memory card need change.

This product is comfortable and very stable. I always had stress on my neck because of the strap. This hand grip allows you to keep your camera with you at all times and fits like a glove. Awesome!!!

This grip on my Nikon D90 was the best investment I ever made. I have a toploader which I attaches to the belt of my hiking pack. Whenever taking a picture, I just reach in, put my hand through he grip, and wrap my fingers around my camera and not fidget with the neckstrap. Makes for quick shooting without the worry of dropping.

I use this for a different reason than most. I can't grip so I tried this to hold the camera to my hand & use a remote shutter in my mouth to fire. It works! It's not as tight as I would want it, for that, but it's probably plenty of tight for normal use.

I'm using this on my Canon 30D. I have it attached so that the neck strap can also be on (my father drilled me on never letting the camera fall when i was little), but this sometimes causes the padded area of the wrist strap to shift (less comfortable). With a medium sized lens, it's pretty comfortable. With a 70-200mm it's supportive, but puts a lot of the weight on your wrist. I guess that's the idea. I'd like to try the old Nikon version someone mentioned that goes around your actual wrist. Sometimes it's a bit of a stretch to reach the command dial on the back the 30D. The battery door is blocked, but it's not too big of a task to shift the base plate to the side. My only complaint is that it adds to the dimensions of my camera. If I'm trying to travel light and compact, this makes my camera just that much more difficult to pack in. It's not a cheapo-strap, but i don't know if it's a life-saver, either.
