Customer Reviews

freedom to shoot at almost any angle. 4.5 rating!
"if shooting vertical shots annoy you with the stock neck strap but dont want to compromise the grip and safety of your alpha, then this is the one for you."

[4.5] because the tough plastic mounted underneath which secures the hand grip is a bit bulky for me..but i can live with that. The positives: Let me start off by saying the leather part used in here "smells" expensive because only genuine leather is used unlike the cheaper imitation. If you still want to use a neck strap with this, it is still possible with the extra metal holder on top. YES, battery compartment is still accessible, and YES there is still a hole if you want to mount this on a tripod, and another YES you can attach this even if you have those Vertical Grip (length strap is adjustable, and hides excess strap inside with Velcro)

amazon.com great place to shop and great service, but you might want to try outside "just to see if its of good value to you" but if this review or all other reviews aftr me convinces you, then by all means, Add it to your Cart.

Great Leather Hand Strap Does what it is suppose to.
Its a great OE handstrap well made out of high quality leather.
Highly Recomend but if you don't want or need the OE version I have seen all leather hand strap from other manufactures for alot less money. I chose this one because I always buy OE if I can, I can alos be assured that Sony will stand by their products.

Worth every penny!!!
I've been using this for about 6 months... when I first installed it (super easy installation) I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but I quickly got used to sliding my hand through it and I LOVE it now!!! I never use my neck strap anymore simply because with this product, it stays snugly and securly on my hand. It also makes the camera and my hand much steadier when I use my heavy Carl Zeiss lens. I definitely recommend this product!!!
