Gerard / Pascal,
I found that for me the GMP grip feels much more secure if you cut up and
stick a strip of self adhesive high density foam down the side of the grip
facing the lens. It gives you something to hang onto without fear of slipping.
The foam I used is the type sold in sports shops for wrapping around the
handles of tennis racquets, baseball bats etc. Apart from the bright colour
I find it works fine.
