Review on πŸ“· Altura Photo Camera Hand Strap - Rapid Fire Secure Camera Grip with Padded Wrist Strap for DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras - Compatible with Camera Neck Strap - Perfect Camera Straps for Photographers by Chad Guinn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall good but with some caveats

This is a soft, comfortable hand/wrist strap that attaches securely to the camera and outperforms a regular strap in terms of comfort. The two attachment points offer an additional advantage over straps that only fit through the eyelet hole. If you regularly mount your camera to a tripod or monopod, this isn't the best strap for you (as you have to unscrew the base plate to attach the camera). You can adjust the straps to hold the camera very tightly, which helps keep your hand more stable when taking photos, but it also makes it difficult to get your hand in the right position to use the joystick controls on the back of the camera to be used, as with the 7D or 5D. I have this on an EOS R and have found that when tightening the straps I have a hard time adjusting the rear controls on the camera with my thumb. If the straps are loose, that's not a problem, but then you don't get the benefit of holding the camera tighter. However, since it is no worse than a conventional bracelet in this regard, I am not too picky on this issue.

If you’re okay with it not sitting flat because of the side loop then it’s perfect
