opteka wrist strap

Excellent product. It holds my camera securely and frees me from the strap around my neck. Good materials and fit. A winner!
Not great, but it works

When I bought this strap, I learned two things: 1. A hand-strap really is a must for my DSLR, and 2. This handstrap will need to be replaced.
Although it works and is reasonably well made, it isn't rigid enough to keep my hand from moving around. If I had it to do over again, I would spend more money for a strap that keeps my hand on the camera nice and stiff.
You get what you paid for

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...
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.
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.
