 Can't Live Without It! June 30, 2008
I'm on my second Canon DSLR(a Rebel XT and now a 40D). Both Have had wrist grips, on my Rebel I used a knock of Kata Model. On my new 40 I opted to go with the E1. Once it was on I immediately noticed the difference in comfort, the canon version has a little more cushioning which really makes a difference after a full day of shooting.
This wrist strap is maybe the most important accessory second or equal to the battery grip. Once your dealing with a heavy camera and a lot of glass it's impossible to put a long lens on and still use the neckstrap, its too much weight on that part of your body.
The only downsides I found were this version unlike the cheaper one didn't come with a tripod mount, so if your not using the grip there is no where to put the strap if I recall!
I would highly highly recommend this and for anyone looking to get into the hobby more seriously it is a must have.
Canon EOS Hand Grip May 21, 2008

I like this hand strap on my EOS30D. Can't keep the neck strap on the camera, but I didn't like the neck strap anyway- always got in the way. I can carry the camera around with the hand strap for an hour or so. And if my hand gets tired, I just put the camera back in the gadget bag and carry that on my shoulder. The aux battery pack is required to use this hand strap.
 Strap REQUIRES battery grip May 15, 2008

Although not an inherent problem with the strap itself, the description does not indicate that a battery grip is REQUIRED to install.
great strap May 8, 2008
This strap is super soft and very comfortable to use. I would be nice if you could adjust and remove the strap a little easier.
 Not that great on the Rebels February 25, 2008

Yeah, yeah, you need a battery pack to attach this. Know what you're buying. Its not a negative aspect to this product. As far as the quality goes, this isn't as great as I thought (coming from Canon and not a third-party vendor). It isn't cheap (as in 'price') as far as most hand-straps go, but its barely padded, not that comfortable, and it started to wrinkle where it has to twist when I try to adjust the top dial on my camera (Rebel Xti) after only a few days of use (and I have small hands). So it could be that I am a freak with a short index finger (high testosterone levels or something), or that I like the strap to be very snug (the purpose of this is to ensure my rig doesn't slip out of my hand when it relaxes on the grip). But I think its just kind of a junky strap that doesn't let you reach that top wheel on the Rebels. Its probably more comfortable on the higher-end cameras where the wheel is on the back.
I will say that its somewhat complex to attach (from what I see they all are). There are NO instructions with the E1, and I'm sure more seasoned photographers can tie this on without looking, but I sure can't. Its easy enough if you're a sailor or boyscout or x-sailor/boyscout, or some creepy hybrid combination I haven't even thought of yet, but I had to Google-up the method. Not a HUGE deal, but theres no good reason to omit a simple instruction sheet. Its kinda stupid I think, not to. Even free crap at the fair comes with shoddy instructions. I'm just glad I was near a computer and not in the jungle, when I had to install this thing.
