Op/Tech Camera Wrist Strap


My Panasonic G1's neck-strap is rarely used as intended. Usually I wrap it around my wrist, but it is bulky and clumsy, and occasionally obscures the lens.

This wrist strap is comfortable to use, and substantial enough to support medium-size cameras. It is also easily detachable.

£15.67 inc. p&p from Amazon.
