Let me ride! I love this toy, my son is 3 and he zooms around in it all day. I even ride it, this toy is strong enough to hold a small adult so I got two. If you are getting this toy and have more than one child at home make sure to buy a set, the kids will be fighting for it. It was a hit at my son's birthday party everyone wanted to ride this cute car.

Rolling Coaster We absolutely love this ride-on toy. My son got it for his 3rd birthday and has used it everyday since. It's big enough for adults to have fun on it too. Even my 85 year old grandfather went down the driveway on it!! It's easy to move and well made. We like it too because it's different from other ride on toys.

Our New Favorite This car is VERY cool. It really does move just by slowly turning the steering wheel back and forth. We have a five year old and three year old, and it's the favorite toy of both of them. Moves quickly enough to thrill them, but not so fast that it's dangerous. Great, unique product and seems to be very good quality.

Terrific This little car is terrific. We have an orphanage here in Haiti and I bought one of these a few months ago. The kids line up to ride it. They have really abused it and yet it is in perfect shape. I recently ordered another one for for Christmas. With two of them perhaps the line to ride them won't be so long.

Questions & Answers
Hello jfarias001, you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
My son put the cars together for me. He left a metal tube on the table and I thought it was garbage...and threw it out. I need to get another tube because it was actually the wrench to tighten the steering column. How can I get another one?
Hello Sally M., you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.

Hello jeanniem16, no, the wheels are not rubber but a very hard, durable, ABS plastic. Thank you for shopping with us. Rochelle B
no plastic
We purchased two of these and the front wheels broke off both. Where can I order replacement parts?
Hello seattlehimay, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
not sure but the same thing happned to us with this toy.
I am still struggling on assemblying this thing (just can't get that steering column bar inserted into the body of the car; I am fearful of damaging the body if I use too much force). I also need to verify that the TWO SMALLER WHEELS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. Both of the cars I purchased only allow for the rear wheels and the larger front wheels to touch the floor. The smaller ones seem to serve no purpose. (I don't know why this is such an issue for me; I have a degree in systems design. I guess I have a tendency to over analyze everything).
Hello overstockmom2, if the bar is through to where he can attach the steering wheel with little to no metal showing on the bottom, and the steering wheel grips once the bolt is tightened, then the car should work. The small wheels many times do not touch. Have a great day!
I am concerned too that the small wheels do not touch the ground. I had someone else look at it after I put it together just to make sure I put it together correctly. Seems so, but I am concerned it will tip over.
The smaller wheels only hit the ground when the car is driven. I bought this car and returned it. I already had the real plasma car and thought this was the same. It is an inferior product.
My husband got the steering wheel aligned with the wheels and then used a block of wood and a hammer to drive the steering column in.
mine is in storage from last year & never used. Send it back if not too late. I found one of the expensive originals at a garage sale & it is lots of fun. These just don't work.
When do you think these will be in stock again?
Hello jenlynnt, We have a fairly good supply now, but you will have to act fast as this is a Doorbuster Deal. This has been a popular item in the past. Happy Shopping!
this scooters are great. My grandkids love them. We have laminate floor in the basement and the kids ride them all over. Has not marked the floor.
Don't purchase. They don't work as well as they should. My grandkids tried, and they just fall short. We used on tile floor so they should have been able to enjoy...but the cars don't go as they should.
I have bought 3 of these. My grand kids love them. I have used this a repeat gift. When one broke after long hard use I bought another one. They loved it.
No,it was very easy and quick!
My husband was able to put together very quickly! Should be no issue at all for you
No, unless you receive 2 of the same wheels instead of a right and a left.
Very easy to put together. 10 min tops!!!
Can you get a flag to attach to the back for safety???
No, there's nothing to attach it to. Both my grandchildren 6-10 love this. Even the grownups have tried it. It's extremely safe and a lot of fun, even on flat surfaces.
This is a good ride-on for in the house. I got it for a four year old, who I wouldn't allow to be in that kind of danger, anyway I don't think I'd let my grandson be crossing driveways or streets in this, so, idk why you'd want to have a flag. This toy isn't big enough for kids who'd be in the street.
Is there anyway to order spare (replacement) parts for the Rolling Coaster?
I did not see any order forms on it, but I bet that the plasmacar parts would fit it.
I spoke with the Plasma Car people and they stated that their parts will not work on the Rolling Coaster. I'm not sure that is totally correct but the manual for the Plasma Car does show a slightly different design for the rear wheel supports. That part is what I need. If anyone knows how to get spare parts for the Rolling Coaster please advise. The Rolling Coaster is made/distributed by Wasatch but I can't find a site for them.
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
what age is this appropriate for?
2 up
my 2 year old grandson can use it and he races his Daddy who is almost 40. It is recommended for under 200 lbs. They love them.
Does the brand say Plasma Car on the box or it it by another company?
Plasma Car is not on the shipping box and there is only assembly instructions. This is manufactured in China.
This is not a Plasma Car, but is a similar product. The manufacturer is Wasatch, and the Rolling Coaster Car has been on the market since 2006. It is a well established brand and product.
how long is this price guareented or just for black friday?
All prices are subject to change at any time.
is this an original Plasmart plasma car?
It does not appear to be from the original maker.
This is not a Plasma Car. I ended up returning it because it did not work as well as my Plasma Car. This car seemed to tip over when we turned it and the Plasma Car doesn't do that. The Plasma Car seems to ride smoother and faster. I did not have a problem returning the item with Overstock.
Is this a plasma car or something very similar? ie different brand?
Yes this is a Plasma car.
would the car scratch wooden floors?
That is a very real possibility.
The grandkids use our car on the wooden floors and it doesn't scratch it. Although if it got a pebble on one of the wheels or something, it might? Our floors are pretty solid - they are the old style and real wood.

How to Change a Bicycle Tire
If you own a bicycle, at some point you will probably have to change the tires.

When it comes to safety, tires are one of the most important bicycle parts and accessories to consider.

By comparing the different models available, you can find the perfect stroller to meet your needs while providing your children with a safe and comfortable place to ride along.

Usability Tip: Help Your Users Act
One of the best ways to learn what works and what doesn't work when it comes to UI and usability is to look at as many samples as possible, testing out pages and evaluating how certain elements are being treated.
While on vacation overseas, I tried to check NYC local news and visited New York Daily News on my iPhone 5S. I immediately encountered a popup inviting me to save NY Daily News to my home screen, which I thought would be a great idea.
I went ahead and tapped the red icon on the left only to realize it was not a button. I then went ahead and read the full copy (which I admit, like most users, I didn't do before) and found I had to tap on the arrow. I tried tapping on the down arrow of the actual popup bubble and nothing happened. I carefully tapped the down arrow of the red graphic on the left but nothing happened. I scrolled down looking for an arrow but the popup scrolled down with me. I finally X'd out (but not before taking my screen shot). When I tried to test this out again, I wasn't able to receive the popup or the option to save to my home screen again.
This confusion scenario reinforces the following usability considerations:
- Users don't read. Reduce instructional copy to a minimum. A simple "Add to home screen" button would have been sufficient in this case.
- Action items should appear clickable. The lack of a button in this case caused me to believe that the left icon would serve as an action item. Action items should be recognized immediately and users should not have to read instructional copy on where to click in order to do something.
- Allow easy access to previously offered options. Canceling a popup is normal user behavior as advertisements often display as popups. However, in this case, taping the X icon not only closed the popup but it removed the future opportunity of adding the New York Daily News to my home screen. Allow users to easily find functionalities offered throughout the user experience later in the browsing process.
Share your examples of calls to action that really work as well as popups gone awry on Twitter, Facebook, or Google+ using the hashtag #helpusersact. Include a brief explanation of why your example engages or fails to. We'll add our favorite submissions to the gallery below. (Image of "click here" sign courtesy Shutterstock.)

no offense but you tried clicking on the chevron second? ... really? ... so my personal opinion is this: you should be VERY aware at how to be a great smart intelligent user, the kind of user who can navigate the worst of UI situations and know a lot of about design trends and technology... from there you'll know how to ask the people you bring in for usability studies the kinds of questions you need to be asking. I do agree this is neither good design nor very usable in the sense that even the text reads "click on the arrow" ...there's 3 arrow icon buttons so could've been done A LOT better but... c'mon ...the chevron? lol
I would have reloaded the page if I didn't know any better :) The arrow leads to the reload button.
It looks like the root cause of this bad interaction was that the site designers failed to update their interface to account for iOS 7's new Safari interface. In previous versions of Safari, the tail of that interface balloon would be pointing at an arrow icon, which is the arrow to which the text in the bubble refers. Now, it points to the refresh button.
This should serve as a warning to make sure your software or site is up to date with the system it is running on. Perhaps better still would be to reconsider relying on fickle conditions like the position of browser buttons in the first place.

When you buy a vacuum cleaner you get wands that can be attached to the hose. These wands and the accessories attached to them enable you to poke into areas where the vacuum cannot go. There are times when the suction of the vacuum can cause the wand to become stuck on the hose. Here we look at the ways to remove a wand that is stuck on the vacuum cleaner hose.
The wand is stuck on my vacuum cleaner- How to take it out.
•Hold the end of the telescoping wand where it is attached to the hose. Press the release button with one hand.
•Now twist the end of the wand clockwise and then counter-clockwise. All this time the release button should be depressed.
•Pull the wand off the hose while twisting it. Release the button only when the wand is free of the hose.
•Another way is to lubricate the wand. Hold the hose in such a way that the wand is facing down.
•Spray a good burst of lubricating spray around the seam where the hose meets the wand.
•Hold the hose in the same position for a couple of minutes before twisting the end of the wand clockwise with one hand while turning the end of the hose anti-clockwise with the other hand. Continue twisting until the wand comes free of the hose.
Wands including telescopic wands are available in GoVacuum.com. This is one stop vacuum cleaner portal for all your cleaning solutions. Govacuum.com deals with both commercial and domestic vacuum cleaners and their accessories.

Mammoth has a brand new face.
If not a new face, then at least a brand new brand.
It's blue and white and evokes the letter M, water, and mountains. Before long, it will be ubiquitous around town, on brochures and other mailings.
It will be on streetside banners, wayfinding markers, city vehicles and behind the Town Council dais.
No one would be surprised if it also weren't tattooed on John Urdi's forehead.
Urdi, Mammoth's tourism director, showed up at the Town Council meeting on Wednesday and pushed through a proposal to re-brand the town.
A quiet but critical requirement to change the boundaries of the county's five supervisor districts after the last Census gets under way this spring, as a citizen commission wrestles with the best way to divide the county into districts of equal population size.
That means some districts will lose and some will gain people, since the law requires all supervisor districts to be almost equal in population.
The law allows for no more than a 10 percent difference between districts, meaning districts can only have 10 percent less or 10 percent more people than all other districts.
Nothing quite like spending Mothers Day picking up dog poop, then heading for brunch, but that's the plan along Sherwin Creek Road, says citizen activist Suzanne Nottingham, who will be at Mammoth's "Unofficial Dog Park" at 11 a.m. ...
Longtime Mammoth resident and writer Georgia Lowe is up for the Independent Book Publishers Benjamin Franklin Award. Her book, "The Bonus," an examination of the Depression-era Bonus March, is a finalist in the category of historical fiction. Not only that, she gets to go to New York City for the May 23 ceremony. ...
A press release from Mammoth Lakes Police Chief Dan Watson reports that there was a 27 percent reduction in crime in Mammoth Lakes in 2010 when compared to 2009.
Further, Watson says, a review of traffic collision data shows that there was an 18 percent increase in injury collisions and hit and run collisions in 2010 over 2009.
On thursday, May 5, there will be a Meet and Greet with Ed Armenta, new Inyo National Forest Supervisor, from 4-6 p.m. at the Mammoth Welcome Center on SR 203.

About this font family
Ashemore developed as a result of my visits to Barcelona, Spain and to Germany, followed soon after by a visit to Asheville, North Carolina. Blending the styles of art and architecture from these three areas may seem initially to result in an unusual formula, but the distinct and flamboyant style of Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts style combined with the more strict rules of a sans serif transfer well into a beautiful and very usable blend of these individually eccentric forms. The resulting font retains the Art Nouveau and Craftsman style flavors, which shine through the typeface despite its geometric base. More…

Jargon, A Java client API for the DataGrid
A new grid API, that you already know.
The data grid is a new and exciting development in computing, utilizing transparent replication, archiving, caching heterogenous storage, aggregated data movement, shadow objects and a lot of other things most people don't know, or want to know, much about. That's why JARGON has been designed from the ground up to make programming for the grid as straightforward as possible.

Debugging Help
To get extra debugging information launch your JVM with the jargon.debug variable set from 0-6, e.g.
java -Djargon.debug=1
Or add the following line of code before instantiating any Jargon java objects.
System.setProperty("jargon.debug", "1");
The extent of debugging information increases with higher values.
0: No debuging information.
1: A number of methods in GeneralFile can actually result in IOExceptions due to failures communicating to the server. These exceptions are caught and handled within that GeneralFile method. However sometimes it can be useful to see what exceptions did occur. The stack trace of those exceptions are printed to System.err. As well as the name of each low level method call to the server.
2: Adds information about connection and authentication. Helps to insure you are connecting to the expected server as the correct user.
- Higher debugging levels get especially technical...
3: Adds information about the query return value.
4: Adds even more information about the query result and the actual query that was sent to the server.
- Debugging levels beyond here are probably only useful to a developer expanding the Jargon API.
5: Adds the actual bytes sent to the sever by a query and the bytes returned from the server after a query.
6: Adds every byte sent on the socket connection to the server and every byte returned by the server. You'll probably want to read the section on the SRB protocol.

It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. I couldn't believe they sold out before I had the chance to get my own! Everytime I see the shirt, it makes me laugh. I'm a girl and I work with a bunch of guys. They will completely get a kick out of this.
okay, okay, I'm in for one anyway, to show you I'm serious. But I won't be able to wear black often. Almost any other color shirt, even if it's low contrast like 'cream' and I'll be in for some more.
anyone else not gotten their shirt yet?

I still don't have mine, tracking # last activity was 2/05. A guy in my office ordered one and received his on 2/05. I think mine is lost.
Wore mine out yesterday. Got a lot more giggles and laughs than I expected! I Guess more people know about Ackbar than I thought.
I only just got mine today. It had a few days delay thanks to the snowstorm in the NE. Plus smartpost is worthless.
Epic design. Might be the best one I've ever seen here. That being said I agree about the black. I wish it was another color but I'll probably buy it anyway.
Me and my friends made a t shirt very similar to this one a few years ago. Minus the chinese finger trap of course.
It's ACKBAR not Ackbert you pieces of toast!
got me mine. I'll only be able to wear it for 6 months (my fiancee doesn't really like my geek shirts....) but it'll be awesome while I can!
First a woot shirt and now this... Admiral Ackbar for Ole Miss Mascot! What's next?

Can't wait to see the sales boost Nevada sees for this shirt in the coming weeks.
I bought this shirt for my husband and he wont take it off! I take it he liked it...
Shipping Delays perhaps? I ordered mine on the 2/24 and it's now 3/08 and no tracking number or anything yet. Anybody else with a similar story?

My Woot Off shirt finally left Dallas yesterday, even though the tracking number was emailed to me 2/27/10. scheduled for delivery 3/16/10 in Boise, Idaho....guess they had to print these babies up first before shipping??

Looks like mine was shipped too! They probably did have to print more because it's just that awesome.
I wore this shirt to a brewery event a couple weeks ago and got at least 5 random people commenting about how awesome it was. /random_high_five
This is going into my massive star wars shirt collection fo sho.
Got the wrong size. Anyone interested in buying a women's medium? Will sell for cheaper than regular price.
Great design, I just got it yesterday
This is seriously the best shirt in the history of ever. I saw this recently and immediately bought it. And then laughed for about 5 minutes.
Had to get it, just had to. Just talking about it made me and my Star Wars friends laugh.
I got mine in the mail the other day (men's large) & am very happy with how the print turned out. I had my doubts about the detail, but it's very crisp and looks just like the comp. My favorite Woot shirt will probably always be "Angry Day," but this is running a close second.
I bought this for my fella a few months back for his bday and he LOVES it! This shirt is totally truckin awesome and so many people have commented on it when we go out. It's a must have!
I want this shirt so bad! But it's off the list now!
ZOmelets made great woot made somuchpun! http://somuchpun.com/page/15/
What, this got reckoned?! That is an utter travesty. How long did that stupid one with the velociraptor riding the bike stick around? Well, my hopes and prayers are that this can somehow be resurrected, and if not by Woot, maybe someone else.
Where could I find one of these shirts?

Well, it's no longer for sale and, as far as I know, won't be again anytime soon. So all I can suggest you do is periodically look through teetrade or the Random Shirt Trade Center thread to see if anyone has posted this shirt for trade/sale. Make sure you check back after every Random Shirt sale, and maybe even test your luck in a Random Shirt sale, too.
I check the site everyday, and this BY FAR is my favorite shirt ever. I'm too big to even wear wootshirts, but I order them for my wife and sisters as I wear t-shirts vicariously through them.
I want this shirt so badly! Please reckon it some more so I can buy one.
Reprint, please!
When I first skimmed over the thumbnail image for this picture, I thought what he was holding in his hands was a pregnancy test. Then I realized it was a Chinese finger trap. ... Then I realized the look on his face is EVEN MORE PERFECT if you imagine he's holding a pregnancy test instead of a Chinese finger trap!
I want this shirt so bad. I just can't bring myself to buy another shirt from Honduras. They feel inferior and don't fit as well. I wish woot! would go back to the old shirts.

Castelli Merino Socks $0.00

Chris C
Soft and warm
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
They're socks . . . I get that, but with 5-7 inches of new snow arriving tonight, the merino wool will be appreciated in the morning. I've read that they run small. I used the size chart and had no issue -- I wear a 45-46 shoe and the XXL are perfect.
Great cold weather sock. Low ankle.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Nothing better than merino wool socks for cool/cold weather days. These socks are warm, soft and comfortable. The only negative is is that the ankle is low which can leave skin exposed between the sock and a leg warmer or tights.
Ian Duff
Warm, they do shrink
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are The Bomb. I bought a pair of these, and a pair of the Castelli Thermolite, and have concluded that these are warmer. They also deal with sweat better under my Diluvio Shoe Covers, not letting my feet get cold when I do indeed sweat. The Thermolite socks are good but these are better.
I bought the L/XL for my Shimano size 43 foot, and will probably buy XXL next time, to accommodate shrinking from washing.
John Heineken
The white color is really cream.
Castelli socks are a work of art. The quality is 10/10. Made in Italy. These are medium thick.
I use wool socks almost year-round. Wool offers the best wicking material and zero odor (naturally). Wool is a superfabric!
The color of these merino wool socks is CREAM not white (or dirty yellow) -which is totally fine with me. This is the natural color of wool that is not processed with bleach chemicals.
Sizing: I wear a 45.5 shoe in Sidi (10.5-11.0 USA). I bought these socks in L/XL and they just fit. The XXL would have been better. If you wear a 45+ shoe definitely buy the XXL.
Merino wool is perfect for cycling
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Never used merino wool socks until I ordered my 1st pair of Capo's from Backcountry. Was so happy with that, so I decided to try out this Castelli version. Very happy with these also. My shoes are 43 (8.5-9). Since on my prior experience with merino wool, I noticed a bit of shrinkage after 1st washing, I ordered the L/XL to allow for shrinkage and I am happy I did.
Prior review mentioned it was not truly "white-white" and I agree. This is really an "off-white" or "dirty--white" or "light-cream". However, I did not care about the color since I just wanted it for the merino properties
How thick are these socks? Looking for a...
How thick are these socks? Looking for a less bulky merino wool sock.
These are a shy thicker than a standard thin sock that everybody rides. That said, they are just a tad thicker than a traditional everyday sock, but not crazy thick like some wool socks that leave you needing a larger shoe size. They are legit, and found that I do not use my shoe covers in colder weather, because these shield off the wind/cold. I need a new pair also, as my 4 legged friend chose to chew them up :)
the white ones aren't white
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I own the black socks and love them. You can't beat Merino wool for warm and cool weather riding. However, I just ordered the white ones and, contrary to the picture, they aren't white. More of a dirty yellow color, kind of like your grandfather's sweat-stained undershirt, so I sent 'em back. Customer service was great as usual.
Great Socks!
I love these socks. I live in Louisiana, so they provide the perfect blend of warmth and breathability for our climate.
Love em!
Love these socks. They look good and are warm. You know they are good winter socks when it's cold outside and you didn't think about your feet once during the ride. I would say they are good 37'-70' weather socks and since they are merino they breath well.

The Mexican American Study Project II (MASP II), 1998-2000 (ICPSR 28481)
Principal Investigator(s): Ortiz, Vilma, University of California-Los Angeles; Telles, Edward E., Princeton University
In an original study conducted in 1965, Leo Grebler, Joan Moore, and Ralph Guzman surveyed Mexican Americans in San Antonio, Texas, and Los Angeles, California. The first survey provided a rich cross-sectional view of this population's demographics and attitudes, Ortiz and Telles' 35 year follow-up now allows for a longitudinal view of the behavior and ethnic identification of first- through fourth-generation Mexican Americans in these areas. The new survey was used to test hypotheses related to Mexican Americans' social mobility, their ethnic identity and behavior, their experiences with discrimination, and the relationship between socioeconomic status and ethnic identity. Data includes birth dates, citizenship information, education, income, housing, language, medical, religious affiliations, immediate and extended family demographic information, and self perception in regards to ethnicity. There are four versions of the survey, "Child Respondents" in English and Spanish and "Informant Respondents" in English and Spanish. Additionally each survey includes an interviewer questionnaire, which asks interviewers to document their observations of the respondent's home (interior and exterior), cooperation, behavior, language proficiency, and gender.

In early Spring when the energy of the plant is still concentrated in the dandelion root, they are harvested and simmered into a dark thick syrup. The bitter compounds, eudesmanolides, are credited with its sought after qualities. No additives or preservatives. Amber glass jar.
Eden Yansen (Dandelion Root Concentrate) is produced in Japan from Japanese dandelion root. The roots are harvested before the plant blossoms, when the energy of the plant is concentrated in the root. The roots are washed, chopped into small pieces and simmered over a low flame for several hours. The cooking water is then strained to remove impurities. The roots are simmered again in the strained water and stirred periodically until it becomes a thick paste. The concentrate is then sealed in dark glass bottles to preserve freshness. Eden Yansen contains no artificial coloring agents, preservatives or additives.
Eudesmanolides, a group of compounds that give dandelion root its bitter side, are believed to stimulate the appetite and promote healthy digestion.
A perennial herb that is a member of the daisy family, dandelion grows wild especially in temperate areas of North America, Europe and Asia. For thousands of years, in both the East and West, dandelion Taraxacum officinale or Leontodon utumnales has been valued as a food and beverage, and for its health promoting properties. Chinese and Japanese herbalists have used dandelion leaves, stems and roots for thousands of years. Written records from the 10th century mention the wide use of dandelion by Arabian physicians. There are also written records of dandelion being used by Ayurvedic practitioners in India and many Native American tribes.
Eden Yansen (Dandelion Root Concentrate) is quick, simple and easy to use. Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of Yansen in an 8 ounce cup of hot water or tea, stir and drink while hot. It may also be taken directly.

Greenville water is OK, even with storms
Feather Publishing
Greenville residents used to boil water notices during major storm events may not have noticed, but they did not receive one this time.
The new state-of-the-art membrane filtration system is handling the storms well, according to chief operator Jesse Lawson, and not balking like the previous system.
There were heavy water losses in November though, he reported at the Wednesday, Dec. 8 meeting of the Indian Valley Community Services District.
The losses were partially due to testing the new system, which required the waste of about two million gallons.
"There were hydrants open all over the place," Lawson said.
He is still working some bugs out of system operations, but everything is working fine.

Made in USA
Grip Strap™
Availability: In stock
- Fits most SLR cameras
- Enables a hand grip option without interfering with the ability to have a neck/shoulder strap
- Attaches to the camera with OP/TECH USA's Uni-Loop QD system and to the base plate with 3/8" webbing
- Removable base plate has rubberized pad to protect and effectively grip camera
- Secures comfortably around the back of the hand as well as around the wrist
- Made in the USA
The Grip Strap™ offers a secure system for carrying an SLR camera in the hand. It's ideal for photographers on the run who want their cameras always "at the ready". The metal base plate has a rubber pad to protect the camera's finish and uses a case screw to firmly attach to the tripod mount area of the camera. The Grip Strap™ is secured to the base plate and one of the camera attachment areas. If a third attachment area exists on the camera, the base plate connection can be removed from the strap. This leaves a 3/8" webbing connection for the third connection area. This also keeps the tripod mount area available for use.
The unique loop attachment system enables the strap to quickly snap in place using our Uni-Loop quick disconnects (included with strap). These connectors can also be used on other strap configurations. The Grip Strap™ has a soft, durable neoprene pad that is adjustable. It fits snugly across the back of the hand and attaches comfortably around the wrist with snaps. This dual system provides a comfortable and secure strap.
