I`ve seen the Sun-Sniper in use plenty of times. Bert Stephani, Mike Larson and Pieter Van Impe all use it, but I have never been able to trust that small screw and carbine hook to hold my camera. Until now that is. I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago after shooting a wedding. I used two cameras and always had the dilemma where to put the second camera when not in use. The first thing I did when I returned home was to order a Sun-Sniper strap
After using it last night at a Tapdance event I still wonder why I did not get this earlier. It is amazing, you have the camera ready all the time. Switching between cameras has never been easier. I just love the Sun-Sniper so far, and yes I Trust it that small little screw and carbine hook
My Sun-Sniper in use (with a small modification, the black tube on the carbine hook is there so the steel does not scratch the camera or lens)
Filmed with my Canon 5D mk2 during the New Years celebration here in Norway. ISO is set to 3200 and I used my 70-200mm 2.8L IS lens. I`m pretty happy with the 5D as an HD camera but the power lines ruined most of the film :/
After getting up 4 in the morning to catch the flight it was nice to get settled in to the hotel and rest for a bit. Saturday Kristian and me went around the city and had a few beers and enjoyed some great food. As the devoted photographers that we are the cameras got some exercise also:
The next morning we got up around 7 and started our journey out to Bert Stephani`s house. Two trains and a cab ride later we arrived @ The Barn ready for our first International Workshop
