roofus Posted July 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 8, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I recently ordered an RRS L-Set for my Leica SL2. I had one for my SL and liked it very much. I also had a Vello padded hand strap to use with the RRS L-set. It was ok but nothing special. I couldn't find the padded strap on Vello's site. Does anyone know of a padded hand strap that will allow you to carry the SL2 with confidence and security. Thanks! Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjsphd Posted August 1, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 1, 2020 Unfortunately, the Vi Vante strap looks to use a ring, not universal connectors for the SL2. I, too am looking for a padded hands tap that 1) can attach to the SL2 lug and the RRS baseplate and 2) doesn't have any metal to scratch the pathetically thin paint on my camera. Anyone love their hand grip/strap? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac Posted August 1, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 1, 2020 I've been using the PeakDesign hand grip with the RRS Baseplate and it's been working fine. Not perfect, but quite useable...

Jk1002 Posted August 5, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 5, 2020 There is one made out of neoprene for the Leica S under accessories that probably will work. It is made of neoprene, somehow I have in my head they also offer a nicer version but can not find it. It is somehow way more expensive here in the US than in Europe, Personally I use a Nikon out of Leather that came with base plate which I removed Cheers JK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac Posted August 5, 2020 Share #7 Posted August 5, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I saw that too JK. All the pictures of it show the S (or the SL2) with the extended battery pack ("handgrip") on the bottom of the camera, so I'm wondering if it would be too big for just the battery only... Hmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jk1002 Posted August 6, 2020 Share #8 Posted August 6, 2020 My guess is its fine unless you have really small hands. I am wearing mine fairly loose otherwise it is a struggle to reach the buttons. You can also see that in the picture with peak design one, It looks fairly loose. https://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-SL/Accessories/Multifunctional-Handgrip-HG-SCL4 Only concern I have is the huge price difference between US and Germany. I do remember from Nikon D80 days that generally if you carry a camera with a strap like this it is more comfortable to have the grip.

DTam Posted February 8, 2021 Share #9 Posted February 8, 2021 herringbone heritage hand strap seems ok for SL2 with RRS base plate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald M Posted February 8, 2021 Share #10 Posted February 8, 2021 I replaced the Herringbone hand strap by this: https://www.eddycam.com/de/shop/sling/SLiNG-2-L-Handschlaufe-DSLR.html It is larger over the wrist and feels more comfortable. It is more expensive though: €159 (incl. VAT). It fits excellent with the RRS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SL2 with VE24-90 is heavy and front loaded, will it be better with a wrist tie to support this heavy setup? Or it is too bulky for the purpose?

Hmmm I have that Leica S strap and I found that I cannot adjust it small enough for reasonable security on the SL2 body with RRS baseplate ( and no battery grip) for my medium hands.

DrM Posted February 10, 2021 Share #13 Posted February 10, 2021 I’ve searched for a good hand strap, but none of them worked for me. Now I use a simple black tie down strap which fits like a charm and costs a couple of bucks. Best Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a sling I use the Magpul MS4 as I also have the RRS base plate. So I have no need trying another sling. Donald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
