Wandrd’s Magnetic Camera Straps Are My New Favorite Accessory

Wandrd has launched a camera strap system that uses magnets to guide its connectors into place, making straps quicker to attach and detach. The system aims to improve on the widely copied quick-connect design from Peak Design, and the reviewer found it especially useful when adjusting a camera during a shoot.

Its Torus Links attach to camera eyelets and are rated to hold up to 198 pounds, with coloured wear indicators to signal when a link needs replacing. The strap can be configured as a single-point sling, and Wandrd says its custom nylon webbing is designed for comfort. Prices range from $39 for a wrist strap to $69 for the full-size strap; a $29 kit lets photographers adapt a strap they already own.
