This hand grip was the first accessory I bought to go along with my Activeon camera. The camera is small so holding onto it can be a challenge at times. A few weeks ago my family and I went to St. Thomas and took the camera underwater, and we found it difficult to hold the camera and swim at the same time. This has a strap that can be worn around the arm and it helps control the camera. The camera screws into the hand grip so it is sturdy and will not get lost.
