You made me look again at my cover -- I don't see any hand strap. I use both hands when typing on it. Granted it is a little small but my hands are, too.

I think it would be difficult to use with one hand. This model is discontinued and the one I ordered didn't work at all. The model that replaces it cannot be used with one hand.

I have carried it as hand luggage in international flights (Brazil-USA, Brazil-Angola) and regional flights in Brasil. So far, no problem.

Yes and yes. I take my camera everywhere all of the time. I carry it in one hand with the strap wrapped around my wrist. The strap's connection to the eyelet on the side where I secure it loosens regularly, and I have to check it so the strap doesn't come off and send the camera bouncing off the ground. The connection on the other side works fine, so if you don't carry your camera as I do, this is a nice strap.

I just bought this and I can only use one hand I will let you know how I like it and how I use with one hand I think the problem may be in the unlock and wind but I will see if I can work around it Jay jay28@me.com

No clue, I threw the darn strap away, I know how but it's really wimpy and isn't any good. Sorry if i didnt help any, best if luck with the strap

Sorry to hear about your arm. I would not say it works one handed without some modification. The other hand is used to apply pressure which holds the cable to the rubber wheel while retracting it. It may be fairly simple to rig it up to work fine with a bungy cord or similar. I'm not handy in the least and think I could make that work. So if you have some creativity, you could do it. Hope this helps.

It's very light and easy to hold in one hand, so yes. I've done it with no problems.

It doesn't have a hand strap, but you can hold it with one hand & walk around.

The way the strap functions it can adapt to left or right hand users.....just used it taking over 1,700 photos in twelve days in Paris and was great....your camera can rest on your hip and you almost forget it's there while walking.....it is adjustable to all size people...and almost makes your camera invisible to pickpockets....

I have no problem getting the bag on my shoulder one handed. I have been using this bag for 7 months now and i LOVE LOVE it.

You can put one hand in it at a time bending your wrist. It is good for the money

Wear it backpackstyle. I sorely miss my son's Radian for how easy it was to travel with it. I'm a single mom who travels a lot with er son, and the advantages far outweigh the actual weight. Wearing he seat backpackstyle still left me with arms free for luggage and worst case, carrying my child

Yes! It is very easy to handle with one hand. I do it all the time when I'm carrying groceries in to my apartment. I will say it does make your hand a little tired when you do it for long periods of time. But that might be solved if you lock the front wheel to only go straight.

It is quite easy for me to carry with one arm. I had to have help putting it up on at tripod. I am very pleased with the unit. I ran it for three hours with the AA batteries. I bought another unit from Amazon and returned it. It cut out on me and I could not use it. The Roland is a good choice. If you don't like it, you can always send it back.

When I walk with the camera down, it is tight against me and I have not had the camera spin on me. I've had the strap for around 10 months and I wouldn't trade it for another strap. I love my RS-7.

Thank you for responding. Could you please tell me what another option would be? I am thinking about its use while traveling in Asia without personal transportation.
