Comments about California Sunbounce California Sunbounce Sun-Sniper, Black on Black Camera Strap:

When I looked at the price of this strap I thought no way. But the more I considered how much I hate all of my straps I decided to give it a try. All I can say is that it was well thought out and is made to last. The camera just glides from your hip to your eye and the shoulder padding never moves. One of these is going on ever camera I own now. I can't imagine working all day without it.

Comments about California Sunbounce California Sunbounce Sun-Sniper, Black on Black Camera Strap:

I use a battery pack on my d90 and with a speed light the weight gets uncomfortable with a traditional neck strap. I had researched these shoulder straps and was glad to see one of my final choices on special at Adorama. I was also happy to see the actual shape was slightly curved and the padding was excellent. The shock absorbing feature also seems to be unique and adds to the comfort. This picture on the online store only shows the logo and not the shape or the thickness of the padding. Both are very good. I am 6' 2" tall and the strap fit perfectly without adjustment. I just got a d7000 and don't have the battery pack (yet) but with a Speed light it still gets heavy. Don't hesitate to buy this well designed strap.

Comments about California Sunbounce California Sunbounce Sun-Sniper, Black on Black Camera Strap:

I had seen the ads and it looked like exactly what I was trying to do with my regular strap. I finally invested in one and WOW! This is what I have been needing all along. All my neck and back pains are now history.

The strap is set up exacctly as you would use it. It is soft, flexible, padded and does not snag. Once hanging, your hand naturally goes to it and lifts up and back down just like the ad. If you are into quick up and shoot, or photo sniping, or quick candids, or 2 lens rotations...this is perfect. No more having a heavy DSLR hang on your next and give you back and nexk pain, especially aftr long day in the field. Transport is now easy and the weight is distributed really well. Also, it's so finely adjustable that it fits exactly where you want it.

My only down side is I wish the bearing screw came standard. I bought it seperately because i felt it was needed. The regular screw works well, but allowing a natural pivot rotation is better and less likely to get unscrewed.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this product.

Comments about California Sunbounce California Sunbounce Sun-Sniper, Black on Black Camera Strap:

This strap is so comfortable! I've been shooting with SLRs for 39 years and have never had a strap this comfortable. Your neck doesn't get stiff and the camera can be put in shooting position just as fast as a neck strap. When the camera is hanging on the strap, it is completely out of the way. I wish I had bought this sooner!

I used this for the first time at the 2010 SEMA show five days for 12+ hours a day with my Canon T2i & with 15-85 lens. It was awesome, I could not have managed that long with the standard canon neck strap.

Comments about California Sunbounce California Sunbounce Sun-Sniper, Black on Black Camera Strap:

This strap positions the camera for comfort and convenience. I carried my camera with a telephoto zoom attached from 8am to 2pm while shooting a swim meet. The weight was well distributed and the camera was easy to grab when I wanted it but was otherwise out of the way. I'm so glad I found this product.

Comments about California Sunbounce California Sunbounce Sun-Sniper, Black on Black Camera Strap:

Great product. I feel like my camera is much more secure on this than on the neck strap, plus it is much more comfortable to have my camera hanging on this. The ONLY reason I did not give 5 stars is becuase you have to completely remove the device in order to mount the camera on a tripod. But that's a minor drawback for me.

I used to get tired of the camera bouncing on my stomach. Now it just glides to my side securely tethered but ready for quick access to shoot the shots as I see them develop.

Comments about California Sunbounce California Sunbounce Sun-Sniper, Black on Black Camera Strap:

DISAPOINTMENT! The attaching screw eye is TOO SHORT to accomodate my Silk tripod quick release foot and necessitates one-or-the-other use. Bolt should be about 1/8 to 3/16 longer. Other than that, appears to do exactly what I wanted - get the weight off my neck.

Comments about California Sunbounce California Sunbounce Sun-Sniper, Black on Black Camera Strap:

My main reason for buying the Sun-Sniper was to keep the camera at my side and to stop the chaffing to my neck, caused by the factory strap that came with the camera. This strap solves both issues. I take action shots and do quite a bit of walking with the camera at my side. This strap allows my to keep the camera at my side while still having the ability to raise it to my eye very quickly without having the strap get tangled or in the way and without rubbing a hole in my neck! Very simple yet very effective. I like it ALOT, as it makes my job easier to do.

Comments about California Sunbounce California Sunbounce Sun-Sniper, Black on Black Camera Strap:

This is such a nice tool to have. I know there are others out there, I just happened to buy this one based on the weight of reviews for it. It's easily adjustable, the connection point is strong, it has a shock absorber, and the camera slides up and down the strap. With this, I can put the camera to my side and free up my arms for other things. The big thing is, I don't look like a tourist.
