Product Description

Product Description

The SNIPER-STRAP „STEEL“ - so safe, that it comes with its own insurance*

The SUN-SNIPER-STRAP, made by SUN-SNIPER GmbH, is the new generation of quick, pliant and ultra convenient camera straps for professional photographers. The SUN-SNIPER-STRAP has a SHOCK ABSORBER that absorbs jolts in the strap and makes carrying the camera even more comfortable. This feature spares the photographer's back and reduces the load on the suspension point of the camera - the tripod socket. This positive effect is particularly noticeable with long lenses

SNIPER-STRAP - The Most Innovative Camera Strap on the Market

  • The SHOCK ABSORBER is integrated in the strap and makes carrying the camera even more comfortable.
  • The camera hangs over your butt and can be hoisted quickly, safely and ready to shoot. It allows the photographer to intuitively find the handle and the shutter button without losing sight of the subject. He can effortlessly move the camera to his face and capture images that would previously have been lost.
  • With the innovative RAIL-WAY strap, the carabineer glides along the strap to your eye as if it were on tracks - without great frictional resistance.
  • The strap is worn diagonally over your chest and shoulder, so it is never in the way - not even when you turn the camera for portrait-style shots.
  • You can carry your telephoto lens through crowds and narrow alleys without bumping into anything.
  • The SUN-SNIPER-STRAP is fastened to the tripod socket of the camera body or lens.

Details that matter
The replaceable shoulder pad is designed to offer the ultimate wearing comfort. Its "curved" shape and wide cushion allow it to fit snugly to your body.

The SUN-SNIPER-STRAP (RAIL-WAY system) is woven of very high quality polyester with reinforced edges to form two tracks. This unique style of weaving guarantees that the strap is highly resistant to wear, even when used daily by a professional. The carabineer slides effortlessly along the tracks, reducing frictional resistance even more. A detail that enhances quick and easy handling.

Product Description

All the benefits of the regular Sun-Sniper straps above, with the added benefit of a steel core running through the strap, making it impossible for thieves to cut through your strap with a knife and steal your valuable camera! The SUN-SNIPER-STRAP has a SHOCK ABSORBER that absorbs jolts in the strap and makes carrying the camera even more comfortable. This feature spares the photographer s back and reduces the load on the suspension point of the camera - the tripod socket. This positive effect is particularly noticeable with long lenses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sun-Sniper camera strap 9 Nov 2010
I am really glad that I bought this product. The original strap that came with my Canon DSLR was fine, but the camera bounced around a lot and always felt obtrusive whether it was on my chest or at my side.
With the Sun-Sniper, however, the camera hangs at the rear of my hip and is most comfortable, so much so that I almost forget it is there. And when I need it, it is to hand, slides up the strap and comes to the eye instantly without snagging or bringing the strap with it. Because it is so out of the way when carried I paid the extra to buy the model with the built-in steel cable for security.
Three minor criticisms. First, the shoulder pad is bulky though comfortable. Second,in order to adjust the length of the strap you have to take it off your shoulder, unfasten a couple of velcro covers, adjust the length, then fold back the strap. I have to do this if I wear a thick jacket. But the strap certainly does not slip! And finally the price is a bit steep.
But, despite these criticisms, I would not be without the Sun-Sniper. The price was worth paying for comfort, convenience and security.

By SPJ
Easily fitted to the tri-pod screw thread and has been in constant use ever since. Much easier to carry the camera and use without fiddling about anymore. Excellent product

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice camera Strap shame about the price 3 Dec 2010
By Foxfire
Amazon Verified Purchase
This camera straps does everything as stated on the box. It is easy to use and gives quick and secure access to your camera. Your camera is always ready to go and a really asset to any Amateur or Professional photographer. It works a dream! In fact I was very pleasantly surprise how quickly I could bring the camera round into the right position, with just a single smooth action, so I could capture that moment.

The quality of workmanship is very good indeed and gone are the days of the strap awkwardly wrapped round your risk, causing neck ache or the camera and lens slipping of your shoulders.

The only downer is that the screw which fits onto the camera body does not facility it to be used with a quick release plate for your tri or monopod.
Yes and of course the price, it is totally overpriced, but if you want the comfort, security and quick access to your camera to catch that moment, well you have to pay up I suppose
