Quoting Toine <[email protected]>:
maybe this strap:

Looks very nice although the thing I like about the Boss Strap is that
it keeps the tripod mount clear.

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.
