I have the belt Extra risen before my Vietnam holiday in order to no longer serve as Canon advertising motif must. Initially, the belt was able to convince me, since the securing plate made a siginificant and even includes a tripod thread. However began with me on the second day (!) Of using the problems. The carabiner lies open despite zugedrehtem security thread! A day later he was then already so worn out that he let himself open in both directions and you had to be extremely careful that the camera does not solve the belt. In the evening, the movable part of the carabiner is then stopped and pitched my camera onto the hard asphalt when standing up. Since then, the image stabilizer lens of my stops working. Since this was the only belt that I had with me, I musse him perforce locally repaired by replacing the carbine. Yet I give 2 stars, because the product is up to the failed constructed carbine very successful. Who performs expensive and thus most of heavy equipment with them, should resort to another product, or obtain a more robust carbine before use.
