I've used a couple which connect to the top lug of the camera and to the tripod mount but didn't like them...I found them uncomfortable.
As a hand strap (its a wrist strap really) I now use a Peak Design "Cuff", which I find great. I also have the "leash" (neck strap) and alternate between the two as required.

I should have said I use the "leash" as a sling strap, rather than a neck strap.

I'm a fan of the Peak Design system too

I hate neck straps they flap around and get in the way. so never use them. I fit thin leash type wrist straps as supplied for compact cameras, available from China on Ebay.
Of course, I never dangle a DSLR from one of these: far too heavy, it's simply a safety set-up in case the camera slips.

I never got on with the hand straps, so I made a wrist strap out of para cord
also use the peak design (slide) love that especially as it can be fitted and removed in seconds, can see the little dongle thingy on the same link as the wrist strap

Takes around a second to tame the strap and turn it into this.
Can't get much more DIY that that

The design used on the Z-1/Z-1p grip has never been surpassed. I used my Z-1p at the weekend with no problems, apart from the fact I wished the D-BG4/5 grips had the same facility.

Seconded.... best grip and hold of any camera I've had.The design used on the Z-1/Z-1p grip has never been surpassed. I used my Z-1p at the weekend with no problems, apart from the fact I wished the D-BG4/5 grips had the same facility.
I've never understood why the Z1-p wasn't more popular.
