The strap! That's the cripple hammer.

Thank god we have Billingham to step in and save Canon with the SP series!

I have the still-in-package neck straps for all my cameras. I don’t mind the Canon ones, I just don’t like neck straps and avoid them if at all possible. In the event that I want to use one, I certainly don’t want it threaded through the lugs. Instead, I connect a Blackrapid strap with the QD connector to the body or lens foot, depending on the lens.

I do have the Canon E1 hand strap threaded through the right-side lug on my R1 (with the bottom attached to the lug on the RRS base plate).

I get that, but I am too set in my ways to change now and have been using Billingham since I discovered these pads in 1994.
It was Christopher Morris (Blackstar and now Vll) that introduced me to them and I have never looked back.

You are very right about the lug concerns, I check often and when the strap starts to fray, I swap it out, generally for a Nikon all black no branding on the strap.

For me, it's less about the strap fraying (though that does happen, it did to a Blackrapid strap of mine which they replaced for free even though it was 5 or 6 years old). More about being able to quickly and easily move the attachment point from body to lens, and also to remove it when using a tripod.

Anyone get it yet that pre ordered. I was in a shop yesterday that has them in. I’m pre ordered from adorama so I didn’t want to mess things up.

Jim,
Have you (or any others) been shooting much with you 6.3? Are you getting this thermometer while shooting stills?
I changed the settings in video to high to hopefully remove this from popping up at times, but rather odd since there is no temp issue to display.

I assume the 2 holes on the bottom and the 2 matching sized holes on the top are cooling for video, and with the battery grip, they are blocked, but no warning to display and shooting stills at the time, and not in huge volume either.
