There’s no doubt that we can end up carrying a lot of expensive stuff around with us if we’re not careful. Forget about things like thousand dollar phones and ultra expensive footwear, if you start adding in enthusiast gear for something like photography, the numbers can get crazy.

Which is why it’s worth paying attention to the small things which can help safeguard our kit from damage and disaster. And no, we’re not talking about insurance policies here. This Leather Camera Hand Grip is a neat little tool which provides an extra bit of security when carrying around your precious DSLR.

It bolts to the bottom of the body via the tripod mount, and to the side through the strap bracket, and gives you a nice snug brace to stop the camera falling out of your hand at important and potentially embarrassing moments. It does add 50g to the weight in your hand, but in return should also provide additional stability for those cool candid shots out on the street. The strap is priced at a very reasonable $12.00.
