Gordy's Wrist Strap In Use

I've installed one of Gordy's Camera Straps on my Nikon 1 V1. This is Gordy's regular sized string strap, with his wrist pad (a separate product). The strap and the pad are in black; the string and wrap are (predictably, Joan would say) red.

While Gordy recommends against buying the wrist pad with the string strap, I managed to get the thing assembled. 'Twas, I admit, painful; he's right to discourage it. I'd considered removing the camera's strap mount and installing Gordy's lug mounted strap; that might be a better solution. And many would likely be satisfied with a pad-less strap. Nonetheless, this looks like a usable setup.

Here's a photo of me using the camera. For comparison, I've also posted a photo of my big camera, and its rather-more-elaborate wrist strap.
