Just as a neck strap keeps a camera attached to your neck, the Nikon Leather Hand Strap II keeps a camera attached to your hand * When attached to a full-size pro body such as 1Ds Mark II, there is only a small amount of excess attachment strap length - it works great * It provides excellent support with its solid 3-way strap covered by nice grade soft leather. * The lower left attachment quickly releases to allow easy in and out of the hand strap.
