This finely crafted leather hand strap connects to your camera's strap lug, thena base plate screws into the tripod socket on the bottom of the camera to hold it securely in place. Slip your hand into the strap, then pull the tightening tab to comfortably secure the strap. This item is perfect for the walk-about photographer who wants to keep a DSLR camera in his/her hand, but doesn't want the hand fatigue of constantly gripping the camera. The soft leather comfortably holds the back of your hand against the camera, and keeps your fingers near the shutter button while you keep your camera at the ready.
