Editorial Review: Product Description: The Opteka padded camera grip wraps around the hand, and is designed to stabilize a camera or camcorder when shooting, and to alleviate fatigue during extended sessions of photography or videography. Compatible with all Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Pentax, and Samsung DSLR cameras that feature a standard 1/4"-20 tripod socket . Average Rating:
 Rating:  - It works, but...Overall, the strap works fine. The strap feels secure and is fairly comfortable while just holding the camera, however on my Nikon D40 I occasionally have to reposition my hand to have a comfortable angle on the shutter button. Rating:  - No idea how this can be called "professional"If you are a professional who makes a living by taking photos, I don't think you need this strap. Reasons: I don't think its quality can match any professional standard. Its mounting plate is so flimsy that I think it's ready to break at any time. It does have a tripod socket, but if you try to mount a pro camera on a tripod via this socket, you must be crazy: it makes your carbon fiber tripod no more sturdy than a casual plastic tripod, and your camera with your pro lens is ready to fall off ...

There we no instructions on how to install this handstrap (seemed easy enough to me until I actually started to install it). I recommend referencing the additional pictures when installing. They show the correct front/back of the strap (for comfort purposes, the "Opteka" label should face towards the back). When I pulled mine out of the package, it was backwards, so I had to pull the strap out from the comfort pad and reinstall ...

After installing the hand strap, I was still able to install the standard neck strap (although it was a tight fit having both threaded through the same eyelet on the camera). So now I have the option of using either. Overall, a very good product. Rating: - A cheap alternative that may/may not work for youI don't have a breadth of experience with hand straps, but with this one I think you get what you pay for (cheap build, less $$). Overall the strap seems durable enough, consisting mostly of plastic and ballistic nylon, though I wouldn't mind the base being made of a stronger resin so that it wouldn't flex. Canon 40D users should note that the bottom piece doesn't fit quite right on the base of the camera (sans battery grip). The little lip on the screw-on bottom piece could be about a ... Read More |
