Cannot use with Sony A55
By PennacookVerified Purchaser from San Diego, CA on 3/7/2011
Pros:
Adjustable, Comfortable
Cons:
Not for Sony A55, Poorly Padded

Bottom Line:

Comments about Hakuba Hakuba Camera Grip LH, Grip/Hand Strap:

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.

Comments about Hakuba Hakuba Camera Grip LH, Grip/Hand Strap:

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.

 
A, somewhat, different use

Comments about Hakuba Hakuba Camera Grip LH, Grip/Hand Strap:

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.

Comments about Hakuba Hakuba Camera Grip LH, Grip/Hand Strap:

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.

Comments about Hakuba Hakuba Camera Grip LH, Grip/Hand Strap:

I bought this for added security against accidental droppage. For that it works very well. I do find it somewhat awkward to reach some of the camera controls while using it though. While shooting I find it better to leave my forefinger out of the strap to counter the problem.

Comments about Hakuba Hakuba Camera Grip LH, Grip/Hand Strap:

I've used a Nikon version which cost about $50.00 30 years ago. I'm not sure it's still being made, but when this one became available, I bought one for my Nikon back up camera, and bought one as a gift for a friend.

I love it!

comfortable but...
By boxboxVerified Reviewer from Brooklyn NY on 8/29/2008
Pros:
Adjustable, Does not Chafe, Strong Construction, Well Padded
Cons:
Not good for large hands
Best Uses:
Stabilizing, Tired of neck straps
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Hakuba Hakuba Camera Grip LH, Grip/Hand Strap:

if you've got big hands you may want to think twice (or at least try it out in person first). While this strap is very cushy and supportive, even adjusted correctly to fit large hands, you may find it to be a bit confining for "manual" intensive shooting. If you have your camera on auto 80% of the time you should be fine with it.

Comments about Hakuba Hakuba Camera Grip LH, Grip/Hand Strap:

If you hate having this annoying neck strap around, this is a good alternative. Feels nice, secure and does good by making sure that my hand and my 5d and 24-105 wont separate by accident :-)
Be careful though and try not to hit corners/children/other objects with your camera while wondering around. Overall, very nice strap and the price is right
