‘shoot’ is a new line of hand-made camera straps by restrap, a british brand working from leeds. the line boasts that it takes less than one second to attach a camera to the ‘shoot’ strap, all through the power of magnets. the ‘shoot’s’ magnetic connection system SNAPS, is capable of bearing up to 100kg, and allows any camera to be carried with unfailing security. the SNAPS are a pair: one side attaches to the camera, the other to the strap, resulting in a seamless connection. cameras are fastened, removed, swapped and fine tuned with unbeatable ease. 

currently there are two versions of the strap. the ‘shoot'(£35) secures the camera around the photographer’s neck or as a sling, and the ‘shoot mini'(£20) attaches to the wrist.

in addition to the powerful magnets, the straps themselves are designed to withstand anything. made from recycled, automotive-grade seatbelt webbing in 50 mm for shoot, and 25 mm for shoot mini, they are secured with custom laser-cut tri-glide buckles. genuine, hard-wearing suede puts a stylish finish on the product; which are available in either red or black.

restrap set out to create a design that would offer unparalleled strength without compromising the flexibility photographers want. the shoot range gives them the security they need, whilst letting them play around with the camera quickly and easily. for more information or to support the project, check them out on kickstarter.
