I have see these hand straps on line ranging $2.00 - $40.00. Which is a good brand to purchase. I use the one I have when shooting sports, Canon 1100D T3 with the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8. The reason I'm looking for a new one is that I read in an article here that someone had a strap fail and bingo...BIG $$$$ down the drain. Plus have been using this one now for 3 years. Why push my luck?
I would never carry a camera/lens combo that heavy with a wrist strap and just one connection point to the camera. If I were to get a wrist strap, I'd want to examine it carefully in person. Perhaps I'm overly cautious, but I generally have a hand on my camera, in addition to the strap - just extra security.
