Noob question, but i can't seem to find it anywhere.  Is there a diagram showing how to run the straps in the handgrip band?  I can't seem to get it to work without physically tying it.  

I just feed the end of the strap back through the slot it last came from, leaving a small loop. My plan had been to roll up a tiny piece of black adhesive tape, put it into the loop and pull it tight but the loop seems to do the job of preventing the strap slipping on its own. I have taken pictures but uploading them seems a bit hit or miss, so I hope words suffice.
EDIT: The pictures came through (twice, oddly, with a mind of their own) but after I looked at them, it occurred to me that I could have looped the end of the strap the other way, still through the same slot but behind the metal buckle thing and thus conceal the end of the strap. I tried it and it feels more secure if anything. No amount of effort on my part can get the strap to slip and it looks better IMO.

Thanks for this.  I'm going to adjust mine based on the photos

Here is my new idea. The arrow points to the loop, which is now behind and back into the 'buckle'. I can't get the strap to slip but if you're planning on swinging the 4D or remote monitor around your head by the straps, maybe insert something in the loop like I originally planned.

Coincidentally, I got a call from my retailer today to alert me that they have the accessory handles in stock, so mine should arrive for use on my monitor tomorrow.

Just for information, I received my extra grips last week and the straps are twice as thick as on the grips which came with my camera. They don't slip, which is just as well because they are too thick to fit back through the buckle. I'm guessing more recent purchasers of the 4D have got the revised grips and, if they read this thread, might be wondering what in the world was the issue!

I can confirm the new grips have thicker fabric,

Here is my solution - I can't rember what I did as it's a while ago
