wriststrap

Device security loop

A wriststrap is a band worn around the wrist, typically attached to a device or object to prevent dropping or loss.

Camera wriststraps keep the device secure while shooting; gaming controller wriststraps stop the controller from flying across the room.

In electronics work, a grounding wriststrap prevents static discharge from damaging components.
