I find both straps absolutely too expensive! for the price would have both belts a maximum 3 star deserves !!! When I think that I got the camera backpack Lowepro AW400 for under 80 euros and this even better processed shoulder pads, not to mention the rest of the pack.
Now for the comparison of the two belts:
Price:
BR = just under 80 (but with extra loop which the belt fixed bombenfix itself under the arm (absolutely no slipping more))
SS = approximately 63 (an extra loop would extras again so much that nothing gives pricewise.
Nevertheless! The price is in both an impertinence!
Comfort:
The SS consists of two cushions, which is divided in the middle. The belt is therefore quite inconvenient to to 2-3 points on the shoulder. This is still the the belt is padded so thick that it is possible for me not a camera bag or carry a backpack so.
The BR is flat, comfortable, located right on the shoulder and therefore increases the weight on much better! The absolute winner!
Camera access:
(Should have so really only one star) Now the main shortcoming of the SS. He slip in each of the camera pull back. At first I thought that it is probably normal and that he indeed rumrutscht just a bit, but in the BR -Comparison slips this constantly rum which I find very annoying. Although some say that this would normally, and that I should not be so ne princess, but why should I accept something if the BR does not slip even without belt under your arm? When BR I remember not even I have the belt I let my camera going easy and Zack slides down the belt and is only stopped again by one of the two stoppers which are the BR case. Briefly slide the BR to belt up and the SS pushes the belt during the hover high. I'm a little plump, but there with my girlfriend, which is mega slim too!
Accessories:
The SS shines with theft and the damper. Against the steel cord in the belt I will not say anything, even though I've read a lot of bad. But I see it more as a benefit to what you have to award to the SS. I can not say much but to the damper. This, however, would do his job safely well as the belt would not slip. If I let go with a 70-200 2.8 slide my camera these When BR down and abuts against a stopper. Here BR might have also design a slightly better and softer stopper, but I think this is still a lot better than going with the release of the camera sliding down the belt and thus almost completely lost the function of the damper. BR I have to award the stopper. Although this could have been better designed to make these your job better than me, and the camera actually stays where you want. So even cycling or any other sport is no longer a problem.
What the BR does not have a lot of accessories bags, which can be to buy them separately. Will I only say is not a plus for the comparison.
Winner, unfortunately for me the BR because it has less accessories, which give but works.
Stowability:
In short, the BR is much flatter and therefore better to store.
Carabiner against ball bearings without carabiners:
Both systems take not much, except for the sliding property of the BR which I do not want to award to the carabiner system.
The belt can be a little better to be removed When BR, here namely the carbines must be screwed, but it's fixed and I just prefer to screw the carbine from, as the screw on the tripod socket. This is still which is the screw of the SS a little bulkier than that of BR and when using a camera handle just cozy. Slight advantage for the BR.
Both belt are certainly better than the Originalgurt. However, the BR my opinion only advantages over the SS. This is of course my mind.
What I really know about each can is: BUY both of you! and sends later one of them again !! I think the SS will not stay with you long!
For my part I can only say that disappointed compared and the BR SS auftrumpft.
Nevertheless, prices have an absolute impudence. Nevertheless, you want to let your on a 20 China replica no 3000 ...
The BR and the SS are both in use for years, from the forth is confidence here already very high. In the US, BR is the most sold strap. In Germany, the SS. I think sometimes that you can trust both systems.
However, one should in both the rubber seal moisten before attaching the screw! This enhances security.
Here I would also frequently check the fit of the screw.
Makes you PLEASE yourself!
