Customer Review: Extra Security
Summary: 5 Stars
This strap worked exactly as advertised and was delivered exactly as promised. What more is there to say. If you have a Sony camera, get this extra grip protection.Customer Review: grip belt
Summary: 4 Stars
the construction on the strap itself seems quite rugged though the black plastic adapter for cameras without the vertical grip, does seem rather cheap.
While you are walking around you can't deny the firm grip you have with this strap on it. Between the camera's ergonomics and this to just give you that little extra support the grip feels tight but not uncomfortable.
You do have to get used to operating your shutter release differently because of the grip, I have to use the second part of my index finger to fire the shutter with the grip which took some adjusting. It's just the way the strap fits onto the frame, you have to reach your fingers around the strap to fire.
I like that they have a built in means to attach a neck or shoulder strap.
overall though it does it's job, it creates a firm hand hold.
Customer Review: Not comfortable or helpful

I got this as a Christmas gift and was eager to try it out on my camera. I attached it to the camera and slid my hand in but it did not feel right. The camera was secure but I could not move my fingers to reach the shutter button. If I slid my hand out a bit so I could reach the shutter button the strap was no longer tight. I tried loosening the strap but that did not help, although I could reach the controls it still felt weird and was not tight enough to provide any support while holding the camera and it did not make it feel any more secure. However my dad tried using the camera with the strap and he thought it was fine, I think his hands are meatier than mine so the strap was tighter on him yet his fingers could still reach the controls. The build quality is excellent and they seem to have thought of everything with the tripod mound and ability to use it with the battery grip, but I do not think the fit is right for everyone. My suggestion is to try it first or buy it from a store with a good return policy, Amazon included, so you can return it if it does not work for you.
