Hands-Free Camera Holsters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The StrapShot Keeps the Camera Secured to Your Bag Strap

— October 3, 2013 — Lifestyle
To avoid dangling your DSLR camera from either your shoulder or your neck, the StrapShot by Cotton Carrier is a practical way to carry your camera without it swinging around.

The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company's design allows you to mount and secure a camera on the strap of your backpack or your pants belt, while keeping your hands completely free. Priced at $90, the StrapShot comes with a regular camera hub and a camera tether, providing a secondary support system. The system comes with a secure camera locking system with an instant release system, making it a perfect addition to your hiking gear when you want to quickly snap a photo of something. The strap itself looks like a cellphone pouch that you can strap on to your bag strap, but comes instead with a hooking mechanism where your camera can be latched onto.
Trend Themes
1. Hands-free Camera Carrying - The design presents opportunities for wearable technology and fashion accessories industries to create innovative products that cater to the needs of photographers.
2. Instant Release Camera Locking - The instant release feature creates opportunities for camera manufacturers and sports/outdoor industries to create products that cater to quick photo taking needs while keeping cameras secure.
3. Camera Tethering Systems - The camera tether provides opportunities for outdoor and adventure gear industries to create products that combine safety and convenience for photography enthusiasts.
Industry Implications
1. Photography Equipment - The StrapShot adds to the innovation opportunities available for camera equipment manufacturers.
2. Wearable Technology - The StrapShot introduces new opportunities for wearable technology manufacturers to incorporate camera carrying systems into their products.
3. Outdoor Gear - The instant release locking and tethering systems provide innovation opportunities for outdoor and adventure gear manufacturers targeting photography enthusiasts.
