SLR hand strap

[Funkstar]

hand straps were brought up in an old thread, and I've had one for a while now (http://forums.hexus.net/photography-...ml#post1622098)

Word of wraning, they are terrible and vastly over priced.

I've put up with it for lon enough and was getting more and more annoyed with it, so went to eBay to see if I could get something better. Ended up with one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hand-Grip-Stra...3A1%7C294%3A50

The nilon webbing for the strap is much thicker, so it doesn't slide through the fixings like the Hama. Also the tripod mount remains in the same place, rather than off to the side.

And for a couple of quid you realy can't go wrong!
