Why only 2 stars, easily.
The Sniper-Strap Pro slipping from the shoulder and thus does not provide optimum cushioning when you're on the move a lot, and I do not mean sport but rather think of weddings. Even if you pull him repeatedly on the back padding, which is very annoying in the long run. As the competition has a better solution with the fixation below the shoulder.
A selling point of the Sniper Strap Pro was incorporated steel wire to complicate the theft. Yeah, well intended, but ... the "but" is that at me the steel cable has dissolved into its component parts and in small pieces and "sting" is coming out of his tissues and after 3 months. For this must be said, the belt really came frequently used.
As I mentioned, the screw is securely and firmly, only the ball bearing has not stored but creaky.
Big disadvantage with the Sniper-Strap is that always the camera or lens must be unscrewed. As the competition with the carbine (Hook) has had a better idea. Ultimately, for those interested with a body and a lens where it always stay tuned no problem. It becomes difficult with the changes.
My Conclusion
Class material and great handling. Super comfort when it hangs over your shoulder. The damping Works exemplary, even with heavy camera models.
About a drop guard, I had never considered.
Ultimately, I have my returned by the shortcomings. Perhaps this review will help facilitate one or the other decision.
