Shoot's [magnetic camera strap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-lux-grip) provides easy access for active photographers who like having the safety of a secured camera with the freedom to use it as a solely handheld device. Developed by UK company 'Restrap,' the camera strap also allows users to [swap out different cameras quickly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stage-powergrip) and easily. The metal buckles allow for adjustment to desired comfort and length, while the suede trim protects the hardware.

The camera strap is also environmentally friendly as it is made from a [recycled seat belt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-x-recco-stretch-belt) that would otherwise have gone to a landfill. Photographers need not worry about the magnets in the strap negatively effecting their camera's memory cards as they were designed to eliminate that potential problem. There is also no chance that the cameras will slip out of the magnetic lock, as they can withstand up to 100 kilograms of force combined.
