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 HS-N includes a camera body plate adapter that threads into the tripod mount on the camera body. The adapter includes a tripod thread of its own. This attachment method allows the HS-N to be mounted on camera bodies with and without battery/vertical/portrait grips. In addition, the body plate allows one side of a neck strap to be attached. Since the hand strap utilizes one of the neck strap attachment points, this feature allows both straps to be attached simultaneously.

When attached to a full-size pro body such as my 1Ds Mark III, there is only a small amount of excess attachment strap length - it works great. When attached to a smaller body such as a Canon 40D, there is far more excess strap. In this case, the excess strap wraps back around the hand strap and hook & loop attaches to the other side. Good solution again.
