 a must have option November 12, 2007
this canon e-1 hand strap is a must have, for any photogapher, light or heavy, the strap helps in making your camera easy to hold and makes your hands relax more. I bought 2 of these for my 1D's for my trip to florida, i have no regrets.
it doesn't have a manual on how to put the strap on thought.
Great Accessory October 31, 2007
I love the hand strap, but can't figure out how to make room to keep a neck strap on the camera at the same time. It's great for a tiring hand at the end of an 8 hour wedding, though!
Neck pain no more September 27, 2007
As the owner of a new Canon 40D - and BGE2 battery grip - I quickly found the metal bodied camera and two battery grip were much too heavy to attach a neck strap to the camera - (without dire body consequences).
My lens of choice (until I recover from the cost of the 40D) is the 28-135mm IS f3.5 with a 72mm glass front element. THIS IS A HEAVY LENS, and the combination with the camera body would be a neck breaker using a neck strap.
As a left handed photographer - the right handed hand strap is a perfect tool for my camera control. My strap is positioned and loose enough for access to the "on/off" switch for portrait shutter and camera controls, and allows very precise control of this heavy camera/lens combination.
My fingers are long enough to reach necessary controls to include both the wheel and buttons above the shutter release on the 40D. I assume the 20 and 30D are similarly laid out.
Yes - it requires a BG (Battery Grip) anchor point - and yes it took me a few minutes to figure the attachment arrangement (without resorting to instructions)... It was the ONLY POSSIBLE way it could work...
I like it. It works. It's comfortable... and I wouldn't even think of using a neck strap on this heavy rig... worth the cost to have Canon imprinted on the pad... your choice...
Comfortable and easy to install August 21, 2007
The hand strap did not come with any instructions for attaching the strap to a camera, and it's not quite intuitive. The instructions are found easily online though. The hand strap is easy to slip on and off, and is quite comfortable too.
 not all that useful August 3, 2007

I have an XTi (400D) with the BG-E3 grip. I bought the handstrap because I wanted to securely hand-carry the camera. (I find the neck strap rather uncomfortable.)
The hand strap works fine, but because of the relative geometry of my hand, the camera, and the strap, my fingers end up nowhere near the controls when my hand is securely under the strap. That is, with the strap securely over the back of my hand, my fingers are near the lens, not the camera controls. This is not very workable.
A minor issue is that this thing is pretty tricky to tie/untie, and the instructions are in the BG-E3 pamphlet -- the strap does not come with one.
Another less minor issue is that the neckstrap and handstrap are connected when tied properly, so it's a hassle to remove one or the other without dealing with both.
