G'day all
A minor frustration with the Q is that I tend to inadvertently push
buttons and move the e-dial while I'm trying to concentrate on
composition. It's a real pain when you press the shutter release and
the self timer starts to count down....
What I need is some sort of hand grip that will get my hand away from
the various buttons.
I recently came across this:
http://www.bosstrap.com/ultralighthandband.aspx
which looks promising but it's designed for cameras that have a 'lug'
to attach a strap rather than the rectangular strap support of the Q.
Using it on the Q would cause the strap to twist. Some sort of swivel
clip might get around the problem but before investing in something
like this I thought it would be useful to try to cobble together
something similar to see how practical the idea is.
So - back to my bits and pieces drawer....
In it I came across a narrow strap off an old Pentax compact film
camera. It looked as if it had possibilities and here's what I came up
with.

Living with it for a couple of days now, I'm finding it comfortable
and makes using the camera easy one handed. It will do until I find
something better.
