Nikon Hand Strap II w/ plate AH-4 Hand Grip NEW

Just as a neck strap keeps a camera attached to your neck, the Nikon AH-4 Leather Hand Grip keeps a camera attached to your hand. 
A neck strap has a tendency to get in the way when it is not actively being used - and can even be the cause of a dropped camera if the strap catches on something unexpectedly. If you are going to be primarily holding the camera in your hand, it may make more sense to use a hand strap. The hand strap helps control and support the camera - and helps prevent it from falling to the ground. 
The quality of the Nikon AH-4 Leather Hand Grip is very nice. It is priced accordingly - somewhat high.
