I photograph for some time with a Canon EOS 6D, the simple neck strap does it as no longer. Unless you have neck muscles like a bull. I for one get with longer travel only neck pain when the camera and lens kit tugging at the neck.
Many professionals speak in your blogs and videos over and over again from the Sun-Sniper. So must be something to it, right?
Actually, my Sun-Sniper is too expensive. But when he was in the Amazon Deal times I had him just order. Too great was my curiosity as to what this "Wundergurt" because anything can.
The very next day came to the Amazon parcels. Quick as ever. The belt comes in a big plastic display box and is therefore bound to the inside a carton. Here so many cable ties were used, that could certainly assume "This pack has ever opened in front of me". All original and new. Only annoying to unpack.
The belt itself is a simple nylon strap with a steel cable was incorporated to prevent the cut by razor / razor knife.
The problems with verrutschendem belt or becomes loose screw on the tripod thread I can not understand so far. The belt is easily adjusted in length and with me the shoulder pad firmly seated. The weight of the camera disappears, unlike the supplied Canon neck strap almost completely.
I use the Sun-Sniper mainly in travel photography. I am so much on foot, often for hours and for that he is really awesome. Leg challenging hikes with climbing documents but he has reached its limits. The camera swings naturally always something back and forth. Whoever takes along his camera to climb or is very sporty road should fix the belt in addition. Additional straps there are enough.
Must it therefore really be a Sun-Sniper?
I do not think so. But I naturally lack a comparison to other belts. But I order now not to test 5 belts. I'm basically satisfied. The price, however, is quite proud.
All the more annoying that manufacturers do not simply offer a "lifeline". Because reports about solving tripod socket screws are already troubling. Depending on the lens hanging there before 3000 and more quickly on the belt. Because everything should hold. A small safety line from the normal Nackengurthalterung for Sun-Sniper would enter an already security and would probably affect the cost barely. But but the security.
Overall, a good product but not a non-plus-ultra.
More information I can replacement delivery to my next trip and detailed test. As the Sun-Sniper may prove the 3-week endurance test ...
