I also wrap the shoulder/neck strap around my wrist when doing some types of walk around photography. At one time I created wrist straps for my M6's by connecting a leather strap to the tripod socket and looping the wrist strap up through a ring on the lug. This gave me sense of two point security. Worked well. I should hunt up the pieces and try it on the M8.
