Customer Review: Takes some getting used to, but it works
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to use a grip on my Olympus E-520 because I have wrist problems and holding a camera with a heavier lens for a long time can be tiring -- and I don't want to run the risk of dropping it.
It took some fiddling around to attach the grip to the camera. The instructions state that the camera shoulder strap should be removed (you will only need to remove the right strap), the grip threaded through the strap fixture and then the camera strap attached to the camera again. This simply didn't work, either because the Olympus' fixture is a bit narrow or because I am using an Op/Tech shoulder strap. So I decided to thread the camera strap first, and then the grip. This worked fine. All that remained was to tighten the screw onto the camera mount. No problem there.
Finding the right adjustment took some experimenting. Too tight and your right hand will probably gangrene -- it lies so flush to the camera body that you lose all mobility to the thumb, making it useless to press buttons and so on. Too loose and the setup just feels insecure. To me, the perfect position is when I can move all my fingers but the strap still steadies the camera safely, close to my hand; it feels natural and there is no muscle strain; and the camera nestles on my hand when I am carrying it.
Now, shooting for a long time is not as tiring, I'm not afraid of dropping the camera (even when my hand sweats) and I can still use my right hand for control -- or even photograph one-handed if I want. The Hakuba grip works for me, and having both the grip and the strap attached to my camera makes me feel twice as safe.
