Customer Reviews

A perfect partner to the BG-E3 battery grip
This really is the perfect partner to the BG-E3 battery grip that I purchased with my Canon 400D.

It's nice to be able to shoot without the neck strap getting in the way of the eyepiece every time you try and shoot in the portrait position, but without the resultant fear of dropping the camera through having removed the neck strap.

Simply remove the neck strap and instead fit the E1 strap. This runs over your knuckles in the manner of many camcorder straps and means you can let go of the camera completely and so long as your hand is not pointing reasonably directly at the floor with fingers straight, you are not going to drop it.

A web search will show many people such as the previous reviewer who don't know how to fit the strap because no instructions are provided with it. Rightly or wrongly the answer is to read the instructions that came with the battery grip. It is here that you will find crystal clear pictorial instructions that saw me fit and adjust my E1 strap quickly and easily.

Recommended?
Absolutely.

I must have a different strap to the others...
All the other reviewers must have received a different strap to the one I received. I admit that you do need a battery grip (or high end EOS camera) to accommodate this.

But contrary to the others have said, you DO NOT have to completely remove the neck strap to fit this hand strap.

There is a small metal double bar webbing bridge behind the usual plastic single bar webbing bridge. The metal one is so you can alter the neck strap fitting and attach it through the second bar (as you would attach the neck strap to the camera). So you can have both straps on at the same time.

Good
A good purchase, well constructed and fantastic for a steady grip..

The downside being that you must have a Battery Grip for this to work, I think it's worth it but the extra money for the pack won't make it worth it for everyone..
