The grip b evo is made of a stable synthetic material which and has a length of 203 mm at maximum and a width 84mm on the upper belt loop and 70 mm at the bottom. The b grip evo is therefore relatively large. Dadruch advantage is that the weight of the camera is transmitted over a large area on the leg. The curved From wearing is very pleasant. Note you need to especially when one moves into rooms, etc., which increases by the combination b GIP evo and the camera 'own width "around 15 cm. Because you have to get used to, otherwise there is a danger that you offend with the camera somewhere! And it just lacks any protection during transport.
The snap of the quick-release plate works well, and by two small pins in the recording is also falling out of the camera at the sole loosen the quick release and do not hold the camera avoided, at least if one then not great moves. To my surprise, click the red lock security with a full clack, which leaves a sophisticated look and what I had not expected!

Neutral:
o camera can be used with the lens up or down - whether an objective change makes sense, I would like bezeifeln because the risk of pollution / dust of an entry so significantly increases
Disadvantages:
- No protection of the camera
- Significant increase of "own width" therefore only partly in premises suitable
- With many zoom lenses it comes to independent extension of the tube, so-called push Crepping (no problem with the Pentax WR lenses!).
- The assignment of the Tripod thread of the camera is no / only limited use of tripods (only certain manufacturers in which the quick-release plate fits) possible, said a trip with "light equipment" anyway rather at home remains
- Price / performance ratio is satisfactory
