The SnapSnap is a new camera strap that makes carrying around one's camera less of a pain in the neck.

[DSLR cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clips-camera) are great for taking beautiful pictures, but their biggest drawback is weight. Though they may only weigh a few hundred grams, that can feel like a ton after hours of hanging around a traveler's neck while they photograph a new locale. The SnapSnap transfers the weight of one's camera onto their [backpack straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onepro-flex-backpack), eliminating the tension on their necks in the process.

The most convenient aspect of the SnapSnap strap is its [magnetic clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silence-corner-mambapod). Simply by lifting the strap near one's backpack connectors, the magnets will automatically clip on and hold the camera. Then, when the opportunity for a picture arises, those magnets will snap apart with a light tug.
