Wandrd Launches Camera Strap With Magnetic Quick-Connect System

Wandrd Launches Camera Strap With Magnetic Quick-Connect System

Wandrd, a company known for camera bags, launched its Magnetic Camera Strap system on Thursday.

Peak Design’s quick-connect anchors helped make removable camera straps an industry standard.

Wandrd’s donut-shaped Torus Links attach to camera eyelets and are rated to carry up to 198 pounds.

Magnets guide each link into a locking mechanism, which the reviewer found made connecting the strap faster.

Unlike a simple magnetic pull-off, the strap uses a dual-pinch release that is designed to hold the link securely.

The cord has warning colors: yellow showing through means it should be replaced, while red means stop using it.

During a product shoot, the reviewer reattached the strap almost instantly with one hand.
