Unidentified tripod adaptor? Any idea what this is? (solved)

[BlueStinger]

Hi, Hope this is the right place to post this. I bought a used dslr a week ago and found this at the bottom of the bag. I'm assuming it's part of a tripod but can't work out what exactly. I've googled multiple ways of saying tripod part but to no avail. Can anyone identify it? Cheers.

Looks like a clamp for attaching a camera or accessory to something??? 🤔

I think it's part of a handgrip. 

A short strap attaches to the loop, and the other end attaches in place of the neck strap on the DSLR. 

Your right hand goes through the strap to hold the camera and operate the shutter.

That makes sense. It can be easily attached to a tripod without having to remove the strap from the camera first. I think you've nailed it. I was searching for ages, so thanks a lot!
