I have one. Used it once, don't like it. I guess it would work as advertised if you dont need to zoom your lens or using a prime. I purchased to use with a Tamron 150-600g2 and once set up you can not zoom your lens in or out, the little wheels catch on the lens as it retracts and loose contact with the lens when zoomed out.
For me anyway it wound up being just another piece of equipment in the WTF was i thinking box.

It's just one of those gimmicks that nets the gearheads and the unsuspecting.
I mean to say...it looks like it must do something...so some folks try it.
It's just clutter.
You don't need one.
The camera certainly doesn't need one.
Now if you want other folks walking by to notice you...this will do it.
Most photographers...will just roll their eyes.
