Ricoh GR wrist straps
A wrist strap is cheap insurance against dropping a small, slippery camera, and the GR is both. It is also the accessory where the community's taste is most fun: the ranking runs from a well-engineered quick-release strap to a game controller tether.
Half the community just uses the strap that came in the box, usually with the classic fix - a small rubber O-ring or a knot so the loop actually cinches on the wrist. So nothing here is mandatory. Every strap on this page fits every GR body.

Cuff
by Peak Design
The default pick - quick-release anchors clip it on and off in a second.

In-box strap + O-ring
by Ricoh
Free in the box - a 30-cent O-ring makes the loop actually cinch tight. Lost yours? The leather GS-2 is Ricoh's genuine replacement - Amazon dropped it, so the button goes to B&H.

Paracord strap
by Various / DIY
Light and cheap - buy one ready-made or tie your own to any length.
- #4 · Wrist strapUniversal18
Wii remote strap
by Nintendo / generic
A cult favorite - cheap, secure, and the loop fits the eyelet. Plenty of generic versions online.
Before you buy
- The in-box strap is genuinely fine. A 30-cent O-ring makes its loop cinch tight.
- Peak Design's anchors let the strap come off in a second, and they are also the complaint: some owners find them bulky on a body this small.
- Thin strings are the usual failure point on compact-camera straps. That is the whole pitch for paracord.
- A strap that comes off quickly matters if you switch between wrist carry and pocket carry.
Questions people ask
Is the strap that comes with the Ricoh GR good enough?
Yes. It is not a premium strap and plenty of people say so, but it is free, flat, and disappears in a pocket. Its one flaw is that the loop does not cinch, which a small rubber O-ring fixes. If yours is lost, Ricoh's leather GS-2 is the genuine replacement.
Does the Peak Design Cuff work on the Ricoh GR?
Yes, and it is the community's most-recommended strap as well as its most argued-about. Fans love that the anchors let it come off in a second when they would rather pocket the camera; critics find those same anchors bulky on a GR. Newer threads increasingly point at the 2025 Mobile Cuff variant.
Why do people put a Wii strap on a Ricoh GR?
Because it works. The locking slider cinches down properly, which is exactly what the in-box strap's loop refuses to do, the loop fits the GR's eyelet, and they cost almost nothing. As one owner put it, if it can stop a Wii remote hitting a television, it can stop a GR.
