Hand strap for Q3

I have improved the handling of my Q3 with a JJS grip. I want a hand strap for additional support but am struggling to find anything suitable. The micro clutch from Peak Design will not work in conjunction with the JJS grip because it is attached by means of its own integral baseplate. I have tried a JJS wrist support but with that it is impossible to operate the notoriously awkward thumb wheel. Any suggestions ?

P.P.

Thanks T25UFO but what I’m after is not a wrist strap but a hand support that attaches by two anchor points giving wrap around support to the hand eg the Peak Design Clutch (too big for the Q3).

How about the Peak Design Micro Clutch I-plate ?

I know you have said you do not want a wrist strap but I have this:

As I said in my first post, you can’t put the clutch plate onto the JJS grip, which has its own plate.

I have a couple of wrist straps and that might have to be the solution if I can’t get a suitable more supportive hand strap.

Sorry everyone I meant JJC not JJS.

If it is a JJC grip, you can easily attach a peak design cuff to the bar at the bottom on the right, and in my experience this is a very comfortable means of support and carrying.
