Great for taking your camera along on a tour.
Comments about Adorama Adorama B-Grip, Easy Access Belt Mounted Holder for Cameras and Camcorders:
This product is great! I've used it for 9 full days of shooting and it worked very well. The camera is stable and doesn't swing around as it would with a strap. The B-Grip also provides a stable support if I take the whole rig off and set it down.
I was able to shoot, move large equipment and then shoot again just by swinging the grip/camera around out of the way.
My only qualms are that I wish it has build a little heavier duty for the price and I haven't figured out a good safety hand strap yet. It's very useful and the first one that I've seen of it's kind.
It does look a little dorky... but hey we're photographers what do you expect.

This is the best idea ever! I hate camera straps so the B-Grip was just the ticket for me! Easy access to my camera at a moments notice! VERY functional and built well! I can finally "wear" my DSLR!

Comments about Adorama Adorama B-Grip, Easy Access Belt Mounted Holder for Cameras and Camcorders:
This is a great product for accessing your camera quickly. I used this everyday for two weeks in Europe and it was indespensible for sightseeing. Also was an attention getter - good at times but if not, no problem, just wear a big shirt and it hides the camera sufficiently. Also can swing the camera around your waist to any point if necessary if you are wearing an external belt.
A few nits about it. First it takes a little while to remember that you have this new extension on your hip - watch the door jambs and chairs. Second, it is shipped with the rain cover and safety catch - no belt - and I don't see it for sale. Not very obvious in the listing. You can use any sturdy belt but the bGrip slides on so if you want to add it to a lumbar pack assembly as I did, you must remove pack clips to mount it then, of course, reverse the process to free it. Annoying. Third, my zoom would not stay retracted and remained fully extended when walking. Finally, the manufacturer's video has a scene where the base plate is mounted directly to a tripod. I am not sure if this is a generic tripod mount or what but it's another annoyance to undo the bGrip plate and attach the tripod quick release plate. I am trying to find a tripod mount that will fit this base plate.
Despite these small issues, I defintely recommend this and will probably buy another and leave one on the lumbar pack belt.

I used the B-Grip on a 18 day Europe river cruise tour. My camera was right at my side and didn't swing around when walking. Worked great. The only minor hassle was the plate would loosen requiring periodic tightening.

I'm a full time wedding photographer. I was looking for a belt holster type mount for my second camera since my shoulders are starting to hurt from the Canon L lenses after a couple of hours of shooting. This is exactly what I needed. Works perfect, quick release and not bouncing.

Comments about Adorama Adorama B-Grip, Easy Access Belt Mounted Holder for Cameras and Camcorders:
While shooting my son's mountain bike races, I imagined a belt mount or something like it and VOILA! I saw the B-Grip on ADORAMA and it fit the bill totally. I used it a couple of weeks ago and boy was it great! I have to ride a bike from location to location so a standard neck strap just won't work. This kept my Nikon D90 secure and close at hand.

Once in a while, you buy little inexpensive accessories that change your (photo) life in better. This grip is incredible light, very well made and it distribute the camera weight evenly. If you need a fast access to your camera or to a second body and you want to give some relief to your neck this is a smart solution.
