A while ago I stated looking for ways to protect my camera investment. First I tried a BlackRapid RS-4, but it was uncomfortable (I have to wear a hydration style backpack with oxygen insteada water). I looked at a number of videos for slings, straps and other gear. I liked the idea of the SpiderPro Hand Strap and it seemed to have some advantages over the competition. I pre-ordered during the development campaign.
The hand strap came today and I am very impressed. It holds its shape, so I don't have to make any fitment adjustments after slipping my hand in. I can access all the controls of my Nikon D810 with the hand strap and wrist strap snapped on. The D810 with good glass is a heavy load to carry around. I am not going to worry about accidentally dropping it anymore.
I still will use my BlackRapid RS-2 Sport 2 during extended shooting sessions, but for a quick grab and shoot situation, the SpiderPro Hand Strap is always attached and ready for action. Here's the video that helped seal the deal for me:
