Carrier CCS G3 Camera Harness System for One Camera, Grey, 1 Camera

Very ingenious and rugged! Supports my big Nikon D850 DSLR plus attached 8-inch long 70-200 telephoto lens without strain on my back, neck, or hands. Total weight supported = 5.8 lbs. So happy I came across this. Not exactly inexpensive, but worth every penny!

I had a trip to Argentina and then Antarctica on the schedule and finally decided that I had to go with two camera bodies because the diversity of potential shooting opportunities on a given day exceeded the reality of a single lens and you just can't be messing around with changing lenses in a bobbing Zodiac boat or while trekking through the various landscapes and sometimes difficult footing. My plan was to take a Canon 60D with a 300MM Zoom and a Canon 6D Mk ii with a 17-44 MM Zoom lens so we are talking some weight and size! I tried a couple other products that essentially had the cameras hanging by a strap from your shoulder area or front of your chest. The cameras simply swung around and would get caught if you were maneuvering around or between things. Pretty disappointing until a local professional photographer told me about the Cotton Carrier. Problem Solved!! For about the same price of another product sold on Amazon you get a very comfortable vest that you can easily fit to your frame (I am 6'5" and my wife is 5' 6") that offloads the weight from your neck to your torso and, most importantly, locks each of the two cameras in place (one on your chest, the other on one side or the other) while not in use. A 12" or so lanyard connects to the camera and the vest so if you should let loose of the camera, it will probably survive most inadvertent 'drops'. (I actually did this a few times while on this trip and no issues) A couple other features include 1. a tie-down strap for the camera on your chest - which would always be the one with a long lens- which keeps it from bouncing around as you get active; 2. A small pouch that carries a weather cover for one camera ( I used other solutions) and; 3. A place under the chest carrier for a lens cloth and the allen wrench you use to tighten the devices that bolt to the bottom of your camera that slide into the locking devices on the vest. We were on a small ship that was full of photographers and I was convinced after the first day, after watching all these people trying to carry multiple cameras or try to change lenses in the rain, snow and wind, that I made the right decision. I was even more sure when a handful of people asked me where I got my Cotton Carrier and said they wished they had one. Probably even most importantly, I was the guy that was NOT slinging my cameras around and getting in the way of others while getting on and off the boats but I WAS the guy that was able to, on demand, quickly change cameras to capture fast action and quickly changing opportunities with both landscape and wildlife. The Dual vest can also be used for one camera, of course, and I did that for a couple treks we did in Argentina prior to heading to Antarctica. In addition, you can buy an adapter that will allow you to not only use this vest's quick attach and locking feature but also screw the camera into a monopole or tripod. I used this vest for 25 days, touring and trekking on land, and riding a bobbing Zodiac boat and in all weather conditions. It was the perfect solution for me and I'm glad I made the investment!!!

I use a Canon 90D with 100-400 Mark II and often 1.4x. I have taken many a hike using the Peak Design Slide over one shoulder (sling-like, camera side and lens foot). It is a great strap and mostly unobtrusive way to carry this setup on a hike. Mostly my right arm has to tend the rig instead of swinging freely. After a couple miles I have to resort to sometimes carrying under each arm to give my shoulder a break. After 3 miles max I am completely done. Enter the Cotton Carrier Harness. Same rig hanging by the camera (lens foot off to the side) hangs close to my chest and shifts minimally while walking full stride with arms comfortably swinging. Very quick and easy to rotate and lift out. Probably 2-3 seconds slower to get to shooting position than the camera at my side. Getting certain shots is really more about anticipating the moment and having the camera ready before entering a situation but you never know what will happen without warning. Biggest obstacle is getting used to the lens foot not being on bottom where I like it to keep from bumping focus inadvertently when something unexpected occurs. I tether the camera with a PD Leash through one of the heavy rings on the harness (camera side and lens foot) and it does not get in the way. Not ready to trust the included tether attaching to a side camera mount-maybe with a smaller set up. The harness itself adds just the right amount of weight and bulk. I don't feel hot or constricted wearing it. Wouldn't want it to be any lighter because of all the weight I am hanging on it. It is easily adjusted to an individual. The rain cover pouch is pretty pointless for me because I am not going to use this with a rig small enough to fit in the cover. It is easily removed. The comfort, freedom and joy of wearing the harness has convinced me to try their Scout for regular walk-around travel shooting with an 18-135. That setup is also amazing with the harness but I probably would not wear it for all-day travel photography.

Très bon matériel utilisé avec un Nikon D500 et un objectif 200-500 f5,6

excellent product..great design

It seems to me to be a very good harnes. I have read reviews from people who have had the plates turn on the camera during installing/removing it from the engaging slot. As an engineer I know tha tight is not good enough, The screw needs to be tighten to a good torque, The cameras I have , Canon and Olympus, will all cope with this torque, If necessary use lock tite, but still put some grunt into doing the screw tight!!

Excelente para todo tipo de cámaras lijeras y pesadas. Excelente calidad

超望遠レンズ付きのカメラを胸に着けて、撮影するときに横にひねって簡単に外せるハーネスです。 鳥撮影のためハイキングの歩きや自転車に乗った時にも装着し持ち歩けます。 私はランナーでカメラはOM1 mark2 + 150-400レンズで軽量ですがランニングするのは厳しいです。 胸の真ん中に装着するのでバランスが良く背側にはもちろんザックを背負うこともできるので登山もしています。 当然ですが高価なレンズを壊さないように転ばないように注意しなければなりません。 日本では見かけたことがないですが外国では使っている人が多く実績があります。 カメラを２台付けられるので、風景撮影用に広角レンズ付きのOM5を着ける時もあります。 私はこれが無いと困ります、唯一無二のものです。
