It is not very secure after I put it on my D80. Or I can't use my right thumb for anything. The lower mount that uses the tripod mount is not secure at all, it moves no matter how I screw it. I took it off and will not use it. It doesn't even worth the effort to return it...
Rating:  - cheaply made
I don't really like this product.. the camera doesn't stay in place when i wear it, you still have to hold it with your fingers that might become tiring after a while. at least with the neck strap you can rest your hand, but this way you have to hold it the at all times. also it should be a 'writs' strap right? well i don't really get it then because it doesn't fit it right. i would get a battery grip and the canon hand strap. not too satisfied.
Rating:  - At least as useful as a neck strap
Thanks to John Kinnison's 4-star review (below), I examined the online pictures, which show the correct front/back of the strap (the "Opteka" label should face towards the wrist). When I pulled my handstrap out of the package, mine was also backwards, at least for a right handed Nikon D60. I followed Kinnison's advice: I pulled the strap out of the comfort pad and reinstalled it. Then the strap was easy to attach to the Nikon, and I like using it. I re-attached the neck strap to the handstap's upper loop. The clever fastener allows me to use my tripod without removing the handstrap.
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 your tripod head at any time. Actually, you can't even secure a quick release plate on your camera when you use this strap.
If you are not a pro but you do use an SLR camera, then for what good reasons do you need a wrist trap or this one in particular? It's not even a toy, and can you have real fun with it? Maybe; I don't known about you. All that I convinced myself of was that this strap is totally useless to me. It even interferes with my index finger.
If you use a point & shoot camera, your camera probably already comes with a hand strap. I see no reason to attach a flimsy bulky ugly "wrist" strap to your stylish toy.
Literally, this is a "wrist" strap, but I found absolutely no way to have it attach to (or reach) my wrist. It can only wrap around my four fingers. If it's loose, what's the point of using such a strap? If it's tight, what's the point of restricting your right hand fingers' movement when you have to rely on your right hand for most operations? ... Read More
