Customer Review: Excellent Quality & Function Considering Price
Summary: 4 Stars
This harness is designed to be a more comfortable alternative to a standard back-of-the-neck camera strap. With a "normal" strap, carrying your gear for a long time leaves you with three options: 1) Strain your neck, 2) Put your gear in a pack and miss the opportunity for quick shots, or 3) Sling it over your shoulder where it bangs into everything. This harness gives you a fourth option by comfortably securing your camera directly in front of you where you can reach it easily and keep it from banging around.
I shoot a Nikon D90 and this harness supports the weight well with mid-range lenses. I'd have no qualms about mounting an 18-200mm and carrying it all day on this harness. If you're going to carry "big glass" lenses you're probably not going to keep them on the camera while you're moving anyway, so buy a pack for the heavy stuff. If you're really concerned about the elastic build material, there's a version of this product made out of webbing. If you shoot with a really heavy body with a vertical grip, that may be the way to go.
Functionally, the harness is exactly what you'd expect. You just put it your arms through the arm holes (kind of like putting on backpack with no back part). I find it easiest to remove the camera from the harness when putting it on ... then clip the camera back into place once I've got the harness on the way I want it. Having said that, this is not the kind of thing you're going to want to put on and take off 20 times a day. It's easy enough to remove the camera if you want someone to take your picture, or if you need to go through a security screening. It connects to your camera with quick-release clips that are very sturdy.
The straps are adjustable so you can get your gear to hang exactly where you want it. This is great because if you have it too tight you can't raise the camera to your eye and if it's too loose it bangs on your belt buckle and makes it hard to walk. The adjustabilty is perfect and the straps that connect to the camera just glide along the shoulder straps as smooth as can be.
The only quibble I have about this harness is that shooting with the camera in a vertical orientation is difficult. It's really no problem, though. Simply unclip one side of your camera from the harness and you're all set. You've still got the other side secure and you can clip it right back on when you're done.
Considering that this product costs about the same as your lens cap, it's a great buy.
