Hi Bambang, I bought my Canon E-1 handstrap several years ago so mine may be different than the current models. As supplied by Canon there was an instruction sheet that showed how to route the webbing for use with a grip. All my handstrap has is a length of black nylon flat webbing, a large contoured, foam padded leather pad and a single buckle on the strap. There is nowhere to put the regular strap. When you get yours could you take a few scans of the handstrap both on and off the camera for us and post or email them? Thanks!
