I bought this to try as an alternative on my 80D to the much more expensive Camdapter I have on my 5DII. I really like the leather strap, it's very nice quality construction and I will keep it for that. However the plastic baseplate does not fit my ARCA QR system on my Manfrotto tripod. I will purchase the Camdapter ARCA baseplate to use with this strap.

Stylish and comfortable

I bought this camera wrist strap to complement my Peak Design wrist strap. I use a Nikon D750. I have used the Peak Design strap for several years and it has worked flawlessly.Pros for the Lynca: The wrist strap itself looks good and appears to be made of good quality leather. The stitching is high quality. The padding provides good comfort. It feels good around my hand as I hold the camera. The quick release plate fits my Manfrotto 680B monopod, the Peak Design does not. I expect over time the leather strap will stretch a bit and have to be adjusted and this is not a problem.Con for the Lynca: The main con, and it is a major one, is the plate is made of plastic even though the box it came in says in two places the plate is metal. The plate is NOT metal-it is plastic. Had I known this I would not have bought the Lynca strap. The Peak Design plate is aluminum and this one should be too especially since the manufacturer says the plate is metal twice on the box. Once again the plate is plastic, not metal. While I trust the Lynca strap for hand held shooting I cannot trust the Lynca plate to hold my Nikon firmly and not break when mounted to my monopod. This is a major shortcoming of the Lynca strap. I will have to unscrew the Lynca quick release plate from the bottom of my camera and attach the Manfrotto aluminum plate every time on shoots requiring a monopod, then unscrew the Manfrotto plare and re-attach the Lynca plate for hand-held. The fact the Lynca plate fits the Manfrotto was the reason I bought this strap in the first place. I shoot hand-held with my 24-70 and with the monopod when using my 70-200. The second con, a minor one, is the Lynca is difficult to loosen or tighten due to its design. Once in a while as the leather stretches with use it will need adjustment, but I expect not often.The plastic plate is a major dissappointment and the reason this is not a 5-star review. If Lynca sends me the metal plate it says should have been there to begin with I will raise this review to 5-stars.

The strap is great and I really enjoy it. Its comfortable and fairly easy to adjust. I wish I had read the reviews first because I'm having the same issue seemingly everyone else has had, not only does the base plate not fit any of the 4 tripods I have, but I've also not been able to find any that it will fit. I will probably end up buying a new base plate. The seller really should look into making this with a standard base plate size.

Great looking and feeling hand strap. It fit my Canon 6D perfectly as well as my hand. Lots of room for adjustments. The mounting plate that comes with it is made of plastic. My only suggestion is that they replace the plastic mounting plate with a metal one. I just didn’t feel comfortable mounting my camera to the tripod using this plastic plate. But It’s an easy fix... Try this strap you’ll really like it. The metal plate that I replaced it with also has another loop on the other side where you can add a shoulder strap if you want to without taking off the hand strap. And yes you can mount your camera right to the tripod without removing the hand strap. Great setup.

I like the look and feel of the leather, but the strap is hard to adjust and keep tight.

I really like this leather hand grip/strap. I have the brown/black version on my Nikon F5. Threading the strap through the camera attachment ring and the quick release plate were simple enough (I've used similar hand grips on other cameras over the years). This grip is very comfortable, nice cushioning for my hand. The leather has stitching for extra strength and to restrict stretching over time. I adjusted the buckles and shortened or lengthened the strap as needed to allow my hand to fit easily into the grip and fit comfy while keeping my camera securely held. I knocked one star for the cheap plastic quick release Arca Swiss style plate, however. I replaced it with a metal one (see pics) that allowed me to feel more secure in the grip not breaking the plastic while I was on a shoot or walking about. The replacement QR plate also allowed me to attach my neck strap to it and still easily slide my camera onto the tripod's Arca Swiss mount. So, yeah, this is a good camera grip for me, but it could be great if it came with a metal QR plate instead of the plastic one.

I got this because sometimes I get tired of having a full strap around my shoulders. It helps a lot to relieve the weight when holding the camera with your hands. It might not be great for people with small cameras and small hands since you can only tighten it as much. Sadly the tripod plate was just a little smaller for mine so I can’t use it that way.

No instructions on how to tie in your strap correctly. Took a while to fit it to the camera but very comfortable and sturdy.
