Hi,Jonas--what handstrap is that you have on the G1 please?? (...)
That's a Camdapter handstrap attached to a camdapter bottom plate for the Manfrotto QR system. I have a Manfrotto MGRC2 head on my legs (lol, sorry) so it is a RC2 plate then. The head and the plate took OK care about my 5D and does really good with the little G1.
The handstrap makes it very easy to reach for the camera in the bag and get it out quickly. When carrying the camera in hand it is, as you know, a relief for the muscles in the hand and the fingers.
regards, /Jonas
