BAD CARABINER USE SECURE CONNECTOR!

5 stars first - I like it, not as expensive as others and does the job. Hassle-free well made, very comfortable on long walks in the wilderness. Easily support the weight of high zoom (150-500mm) cameras and lenses. UPDATE - Downgraded to 1 star. After about 18 releases and possibly four uses, the carabiner opened and closed and broke on the hook while walking. Without using a secure connector I would have lost over $2,000 on the camera and lens. I emailed Rainbow Imaging and after waiting 2 days Revane said it was the end of the 3rd day and they have not contacted me. I would like to give them a chance to swap out the strap hoping I can get a good carabiner and think maybe it was a bad lot as I've seen others have the same issue. Here are photos of the hook and camera. and the lens I used, the weight didn't matter.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Hard to say
