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.

Six good reasons to choose the SNIPER STRAP

: QUICK ACTION because the camera is hanging upside down, in the perfect position

: COMFORTABLE because weight is distributed diagonally

: EASY ON YOUR BACK thanks to the integrated shock absorber

: STURDY because it is made of high quality ballistic nylon

: GLIDES SMOOTHLY along the innovative RAIL-WAY strap

: SAFE because you wear it on your back

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 carabiner 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.

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 carabiner slides effortlessly along the tracks, reducing frictional resistance even more. A detail that enhances quick and easy handling.

The essential benefits of the SNIPER-STRAP compared to other camera straps:

The SHOCK-ABSORBER and the even, diagonal weight distribution make the strap particularly comfortable to wear. You will appreciate this especially when hiking or in a stadium, when wearing the strap for hours at a time.
The SUN-SNIPER-RAIL-WAY strap is woven of very high quality polyester. The outer edges are reinforced to create two "tracks."
The shoulder pad on the SUN-SNIPER-STRAP is made essentially of the best ballistic nylon, meaning that it is extremely durable. Bulletproof vests used by the police and the military are made of the same material.
Safety is an important feature of the SUN-SNIPER-STRAP: Each strap is carefully inspected before it leaves the warehouse in Germany to verify that all of the connections along the SUN-SNIPER-STRAP are secure.
If the strap is to be used with a smaller, more compact camera, the shoulder pad can be removed to save space. Then the RAIL-WAY strap fits a compact camera perfectly.
Only the professional camera handling and the resulting high work speed can top these positive features of the SUN-SNIPER-STRAP.

A brilliant idea was ingeniously improved

Just like he did with his reflectors that revolutionized the world of photography with the slogan, "YES, i BOUNCE", WORLD PRESS PHOTO AWARD WINNER WOLFGANG-PETER GELLER has enhanced yet another innovative product, the SUN-SNIPER-STRAP, a strap designed to meet the demands facing photographers daily.
Geller was inspired by the "US Cavalry Carbine 1885 Sling", produced by the Rock Island Arsenal.

Over 120 years later, Geller adapted this ingenious idea and contributed his wide ranging international experience gained as a press photographer to create the SNIPER CAMERA STRAP SYSTEM. He added features like the SHOCK ABSORBER, which photographers using very long lenses quickly come to greatly appreciate. In short - you will learn to love your SUN-SNIPER-STRAP in no time at all.

Dr. med. Stephan Redeker
Orthopedic and sports medicine specialist

Dear Mr. Geller,
you demonstrated the SUNSNIPER STRAP for cameras to me. The SNIPER CAMERA STRAP fits very ergonomically to the body. The diagonal path of the strap enables the camera to be carried on the photographer‘s side, unlike other straps that suspend the camera in front of the wearer‘s chest or abdomen. This is much better for the back, because strain to the kyphosis is eliminated. The – elastic – shock absorber section of the strap acts as an excellent buffer. For all of these reasons the SUN-SNIPER is highly recommended from an orthopedic and sports medicine point of view for carrying heavy cameras.
