Works as advertised.
Works as advertised.I had previously tried the "BLACKRAPID Double Breathe Camera Harness, Trusted Design For One Or Two SLR, DSLR, Mirrorless Cameras", which in and of itself is a nice unit, but I found that having a (relatively) heavy camera/lens and a pair of binoculars (instead of a second camera) attached produced a lot of swinging, bouncing, and bumping against me while walking and hiking.I used this setup recently on a two-week birding trip around southern Florida. In a place like that at the end of April you'll still sweat in the harness, but you'd sweat without it anyway, and the lightness of the unit and mesh body construction make the best of a hot situation.A heavy camera and lens (I'm using a Canon R7 body with a(n) RF 100-500 mm lens attached) will tend to make the harness ride slightly forward even with the straps adjusted snugly, but just a bit, and not enough to compromise its use.I did need to occasionally re-tighten the attachment screw on the base of my camera body; you should definitely check this periodically depending on how frequently you're mounting and dismounting the camera on the harness.You may lose some spontaneity in the time it takes to get the camera out of the harness slot (I'm shooting birds and they move around quickly and a lot). On the other hand, when the camera is in the slot properly it's very secure, and the safety strap is strong enough to bring peace of mind. Standing in one place and photographing birds I sometimes let the camera dangle on its safety strap rather than keep putting it back into and taking it out of the harness; I felt confident in the strap's strength and reliability.Overall it does what it says, and it's much more comfortable walking and hiking to have my hands free and the weight of the camera and lens not swinging around and bouncing against me all the time.I also attached my binoculars to the second safety strap, which meant with both the camera and the binoculars I could go totally hands free for those times when simply hiking or walking.I've had the harness for about a month now, using it both at home and on travel, so I cannot speak to its longevity, but so far it appears to be holding up just fine.

love it
i've had this for several years at this point and while im no pro, i am happy with how its held up. Im usually in the wilderness when using it or encountering obstacles of some sort, so its really nice being able to quickly affix it to my chest and be completely hands free. I also have neck issues which the standard camera straps can bother - this style of holder has literally given my the freedom to continue photography.the only thing (and there is no way i can conceive of to avoid this) is that you have to take the mount of to change the battery in my camera or switch over to a tripod- my solution has been to get a small flat multitool to change things out when needed . It fits right in the little pocket on the harness along with a small microfiber cloth

Works well for me.
The media could not be loaded. I like to hike in the desert with my camera and binoculars, and was looking for some type of rigging to share the load and organize and minimize the "strap tangle" (I also wear sunglasses with a neck strap, so between the three it got pretty cumbersome). This harness has resolved most of my issues.I find it pretty comfortable. I read in the reviews/questions a lot of "will it fit a (big) size?" -- the answer is yes- meaning it will fit around a big belly. There is an abundance of strap length- in fact, way too much for me, but it's easier to shorten a strap than lengthen one. The shoulder straps also seem plenty long. That said, I don't know about the shoulder straps for a really large person since they are adjustable/attached via Velcro. If one was really larger I think the Velcro contact area may be too small to really hold tight. I am about 5-7/135 and have all the straps as short as I could get them and it fits "just right," so it you are smaller than me this may be too big. Anyway, it fits me.It is pretty sturdy. I slide my camera into the slot and there it stays until I remove it. Yes, there's a little bit of "bounce" as I walk, but very minimal. The attachment disk stays very securely attached to the camera, so there is no issue with stripping the tripod mount receiver-- I've checked this repeatedly after multiple uses because one of the complaints in the reviews was that the attachment would come loose-- the minimal instructions are very adamant as to how to "set the screw" to prevent this, and so far (I've used it on 3 relatively rugged desert hikes in the week I've had it) it is working great, the screw has remained tight and secure; no constant re-tightening needed.I do leave the neck strap attached to the camera and around my neck because I am more comfortable doing that, but the weight is on the harness. I have a Nikon P900 with the tripod mount off center, so the camera hangs a little canted in the slot, but it's not an issue. But the metal rings that are supposed to attach to the camera to use the "security straps" don't fit on my camera so I have to keep my current neck-strap configuration anyway-for now.I made an attachment for the harness's shoulder strap to hold my binocular strap on my shoulder to keep it from sliding off. I haven't figured out how to use the additional "holster" for my binocs yet, but I'm working on it.If I had Input on the design, I'd suggest putting a useable pocket on the front. And having a little less strap length (the pocket is way too small and unless you are the diameter of a 300 year old redwood tree, the extra waist strap is overkill and the extra is supposed to gounder the pocket flap, rendering the Velcro to hold the pocket flap closed totally useless (which isn't a huge thing because the pocket is pretty much useless to begin with. But I guess it's only supposed to hold a lens cap - and with the lens cap in it, the flap doesn't close!).Overall, I'm satisfied with this harness-- and it was a price that I'm comfortable doing some alterations to it to customize it (if I pay a lot for something, don't expect to have to make any "fixes").

Secures cameras
This makes it super easy to swap between cameras really quickly. While I was using this I let go of my camera to catch something, but the security strap kept my camera from hitting the ground. I probably wouldn't do that again but I still have my camera so yay.Also it must have for any photographer using two cameras. Makes it so that you don't have to swap lenses. I will say it makes my shoulders sore but that's probably because I have to address the straps to counter the weight of the camera on the side.
