My rendition of a camera strap and hand grip with a few simple items and without additional modifications.
Materials:
*Original camera strap
*weave strap (from a discarded bike helmet)
*small parachute buckles (from bike helmet straps)
*small buckles (from helmet straps)
*1/4" screw (or leg adjuster)
*Picture frame hanger
Note: you can skip the use of the additional straps and buckles and attach the shoulder strap straight to the frame hanger and will work just fine.

1st. add the parachute buckles to the original shoulder strap, and secure with the pass tru buckles.
I Cut 2 pieces of the helmet strap to attach to the camera and the frame hanger.
For the Camera cut 12" piece that was secure with the pass tru buckles. I put the male parachute buckle on this piece.
For the bottom part (picture hanger) I cut a 6" +/- and secure with the buckles as well.
I put the female parachute buckle in this piece.
*There's a reason why I put the female and male buckle on each end of the straps and it's because when I don't need to use the shoulder strap I can snap the small parts (the ones attached to the camera) and use it like a hand grip. It's better shown in the pictures.
The Picture hanger is pretty sturdy and it's a round and smooth. It's also flat which is good since the camera will be hanging at my hip. It also has two holes so I can adjust if I'm using the shoulder strap or the hand grip.
One thing that you may need to do is make the holes of the hanger a bit bigger, which is easy to do with a drill and 1/4" bit.
