EPIC Side-handle strap

[jacob.schwarz]

What kind of hand strap would you guys recommend for the side-handle for the EPIC?

 

[Patrick Lavaud]

+1, was wondering the same.

 

[Michael Notar]

as a still photographer, i like the canon side strap.

 

[Luca Orlandi]

I use the Canon E2, great quality and secure grip. (I removed the bottom screw). Price in Europe €30.00 or less.

http://www.carryspeed.com/ their strap and plate system looks very interesting.

 

[Bob Gundu]

I took mine off. It wasn't very comfortable and awkward.

$5 chinese Canon knock off works great... (ebay)

S-Handle strap slots are pretty narrow, so that is a challenge regardless of choice I imagine.

Waiting for RED to make a Kevlar $100 strap that I would trust an Epic with one hand with. The SLR straps are too light weight

I don't even mess around...the Black Rapid straps are fantastic. really enjoying the RS-7

Any issues with attaching? Need anything else. I just have the canon mount package, nothing else so far.

As for side-handle straps, I ?think? that this one worked and saw several who did buy it (I guess for use with side handle), but I just have this link, not the thread where it was discussed, so I could be wrong:

But ... that's an expensive camera to trust what looks like a plastic buckle.

I may have to get steel handcuffs ... so I'll be sure not to lose it or let it fall from my hands!

I use the Canon one. But it's fairly loose as I don't like it to interfere with taking the shot.

Even the cheapest straps are nylon webbed. You'd tear off a finger before those blew out I would imagine.... the plastic pad/buckle is just that, a pad. nothing to do with supporting the strap.

waiting for the official red or the wooden camera strap mentioned above.

nope, the 1/4 20 screw goes direct to your bottom plate, attaches with a metal buckle. Only drawback I've run into is the Epic won't sit upright with the 1/4 20 threaded into the plate (obviously) so I just unscrew when I wanna sit it down.

This. And then I'd buy ones for my SLRs too.
