Is this grip easier to use with a wrist strap such as the GS-4?

I just love this grip. I now have it on my 2 em5 bodies. It makes the camera fit snuggly in the palm of your hand. On one body I use the Oly neck strap and the other I have set up with the Joby DSLR wrist strap. The wrist strap makes street photography less obvious but secures the camera to my wrist. You can't go wrong no matter which way you prefer to carry your camera.

Hi Andrew, the jb grip itself provides a very stable grip on the OMD. There is no need for the GS-4 for additional GRIP, but you can use it for additional security.

Dear Andrew,The JB Camera Designs grip which is designed to enhance the grip as well as stability of the camera, should not pose a hindrance or issue if a wrist strap is used with it.The only decision you will have to make is to either use the neck strap or the wrist strap with the grip.If you elect to use the wrist strap, ensure that the strap is long enough to facilitate the operational ergonomics whilst posing no snagging issues.Happy shooting. - Lee (Grip user) Selangor, Malaysia.

I have never used the hand strap but I would think the wrist one is better and this is why. First off the wrist strap was really comfortable and did not pinch my arm or cause irritations due to the heat (I used it in the Carribean). Secondly the wrist strap allowed me to still use my hand without moving the strap. In situations where I needed to just use my hand for a second I could let the camera hang down without discomfort to the wrist or having to move a strap from the hand. Lastly I prefer a wrist strap over the hand strap because it provided more stability if I were bumped. A hand strap could easily slip off your hand if bumped but the wrist strap stayed on.

I like soft strap better. It feels more secure and reads more acurately. My plastic keeps skipping and is not as acurate. Soft is much more comfortable as well.

Not sure how different they are but I absolutely love the mueller one much better than the regular mueller wrist support I previously used much more comfortable it is more bulky so I would not use it outside of sleeping.

I have never used the hand strap, but I love the ease of the wrist strap. I use it just to prevent accidental droppings. I use one on both my Nikon D3000 and the D200 a fairly large camera. I do not let them dangle from my wrist. I use it just as a safe guard.

Yes, it's very easy to put in place. About two-thirds of the wrist band is semi-rigid and contoured to fit on the wrist. You slip it on from the side and it fits snugly while you wrap the remaining strap around and attach the Velcro. Because of the contour fit, the unit doesn't slide or rotate on your wrist while attaching it.

Very easy as it has a ridge on the back to give you grip. It also comes with a strap but I prefer not to use.

I have this plug in my Gen 4 Glock 23. After reading this question I tried to put the medium and large back strap on but It would not fit because the plug was in the way. The bottom of the larger grips have to have some of that space that the plug takes up. Couldn't get them to go on. Fits just fine with the standard gtip though.

The pistol grip is very tight and a little tiring to use if your changing positions a lot. It's something you have to get use to. But you will have to worry about it slipping on you.

Yes, those grips making shooting much more comfortable. The trigger guard is covered so it doesn't recoil into your hand.Highly recommended.

It definatly fattens the grip up about a 1/4 inch. Took some getting used to but i do like the feel much more to grip than stock.

definitely. I felt much more comfortable using this instead of the around the neck. also eased my mind of just plain dropping my camera... I usually had it in my hand because the neck straps were so uncomfortable for me.

I've had no problems with the grip. It's a manmade suede material on the palms.

Absolutely. But that grip is built more for controllability and not much comfort no matter what Pachmayr says. You will still get slammed at the webbing between the thumb and forefinger. All women and a majority of men say that's the only drawback from the 642. I bought some Sugru and heightened the back strap. (Yes, that's the correct word), Between the two, grips and Sugru, my 642 is fantastic.

I have never used a hand strap but I do like this wrist strap very much. I use it with my Canon 60D, it is comfortable.

I bought the one you asked about as well as the other one. This one was supposed to give added support for the wrist. I didn't find that to be the case, and in fact, it seemed to get in the way and feel uncomfortable. Plus, the screw at the bottom of the camera keeps getting loose. I love the other one that just wraps around the hand. It feels very secure and the screw stays tight.

I have it for the samsung gs4 but on my case there are no rubbery stoppers or grippers to stop the device from slipping. The case for me is smooth matte plastic that does slip in my hands sometimes and on tables. That is one of the reasons why I dint use this case very much anymore. Hope I helped.
