anticipate, I had some trouble with the product itself, but first to the positive points:
This part does exactly what it should. Great comfort, super fast handling with the camera, and significantly safer Storungsfreies "storage" of the camera / lens. I want these benefits to miss micht more.
The build quality is mixed. This gives not immediately get the impression that everything is rock solid but that is probably justified at this price. Here I can only agree with many other speakers that the "hook" to hang the camera does not just looks confidently, but he is very strong and leaves little to be desired. Minus one star there is, however, for the retaining plate that is bolted to the camera.
At my 500D was this support, no matter how I have rotated approximately 1mm above the battery door on. So replaceable battery only by unscrewing the holder. BUT:
At this point the 2nd star is taken off ... After a few trips and quasi 0 load a seam has gone on shoulder strap on. You could see at the site show that the stitched fabric was simply not moved far enough behind the seam. Can happen.
So reported as defective and einwandrei was immediately replaced. The stupid thing about it: The first shipped at reception and return coincides with the quasi Produnktpreis. The waiting time of about 3 weeks to get over because UK was plagued at the time of floods.
Much more interesting:
As a substitute I have the same product in the original packaging and get back in this delivery, I suddenly had to open about 1mm air around the battery cover without unscrewing.
So either I've been through the "happy fault" an improved produckt received or there are big differences in quality.
The new strap keeps at least so far Bombenfest although I loaded every now and then more than enough to see him around if that's such a part again Monday.
My Recommendation:
Who does not want to spend 70+ euros for a top product and simply wants to test only handling, is well advised with this part. Who receives a product, as I have received in my last delivery gets who has long-term so fun.
Buy I say! Or invest more, but then really ...
