We wanted to create some high quality accessories to accommodate your GoPro: somethings that you can bring with you to the city, travelling, and on all of your adventures. So the conception of the highly useful wristband was brought to life. It offers two ways for users to wear GoPro cameras on the wrist for instant access while traveling or engaging in activities.
While existing wristbands are not flexible enough for some action like selfie... hybrid strap can quickly unlock and use it as a safety hand strap!

Comparison with existing solutions

Unlike many wristband straps, hybrid strap can quickly unlock so that it can be used as a safety hand strap. It allows users
to place their GoPro in a variety of positions to quickly facilitate the
capture of on-the-go photos in almost any situation with ease. Users can quickly shift back and forth between
camera positions for the greatest flexibility in photography. Just like the gesture of how we use other camera!

Risks and Challenges

We have dedicated countless of hours working together with our experienced manufacturer, trying to mitigate as much risks in all aspects of the product. Durability is the most important factor in this project. We must guarantee the safety of your GoPro when using our product. After many times of trial and error, we finally pass the tensile test by using double stitch line and cross stitch line on the hand strap. Most of the technical issues has been solved and we are confident that we will be able to deliver as per our projected plan. We will keep things transparent and inform our supporters of any hurdles/delay along the way
