Dual Camera Vest

It actually works pretty great. Once the cameras are locked into the holsters, they feel very secure. I did buy separate carabiners and straps because the included ones seemed a bit flimsy. In reality, I am sure the included ones are just fine. I can tell that the plastic bases not super durable but for the price it seems like a good deal even if I have to replace it in a year. I have used the harness a few times so far and it seems to work very well, and a lot more secure than a camera hanging off of a strap on each side. I definitely feel more confident in crowded situations. It is also a lot easier on the back. I would like better instructions on the ideal way to connect straps and carabiners. You also have to make sure that you slide the cameras all the way into the holsters and hear them click into the locks. It seems easy to not have it locked in. But overall, I like this system over other holsters that I have tried. I can switch cameras quickly, it seems supportive on back and shoulders, and the price is right.

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

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").

Straps are well done and sturdy. First time out with this was in the canyon for a 5 hour photoshoot. Kept my gear secure and was a very comfortable wear for the hours I was working.

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.

It seems good product, and the camera is secure. Unfortunately I had to return it when it arrived. It is not practical for me at all. I shoot birds and wildlife. When I tried it at home it was hard to release the camera fast enough to shoot. Also it was not going to work because my Canon nut is not in the center of the camera. The camera kept on leaning side way.

I spend a lot of time outdoors take a pictures of the birds I have trouble walking this harness has made things so much easier I have to walk with two canes

While I like the concept of the harness overall, there are many small annoyances that make it frustrating to use. I recently returned from a 10-day trip where I used the harness all day every day. One not-so-small annoyance is the twisting of the mounting hub. I have found that after just a few insertion/extraction operations of the camera from the harness the hub has already twisted significantly, so that the amount you have to rotate the camera to pull it out of the holster varies almost constantly. You can't expect to be able to pull the camera out of the holster without having to look at it; you have to look down and make sure that the hub is lined up properly before you pull it out. I have cranked down very hard on the hub attaching screw (using the very tight-fitting tool supplied with the harness) and it always comes loose. I even resorted to applying Loctite to the threads, but the result was the same. I have since modified the hub by installing a small set screw (see pics). The screw protrudes from the bottom of the hub and engages with a groove in the bottom of my lens mount (a Nikon 200-500). This has solved my rotation problem. Without this modification the system was unusable for me. Now I'm pretty happy with it. If your lens or camera has similar grooves and you have the ability to do a little machining, this is a good solution. However, I think Nicama should have included some sort of anti-rotation device in the original product, hence my one-star review.

Only thing wrong was that I hesitate for far to long before purchasing this. I use it for one camera - although, of course, one has the option for two. I took it out yesterday for a trial use and I am completely DELIGHTED with it. It is a long time since I have been on a 5 hr+ shoot and remained completely comfortable without my shoulder becoming more and more painful. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am overjoyed to just look forward to my next photo session without having to worry about shoulder pains. Easy to use. Comfortable to wear. Does what it says on the box. Very reasonably priced.

Jest ok. Super trzyma aparat.

Stukken goedkoper dan een merk. Werkt top en draagt gemakkelijk.

It is a great item for carrying your cameras. I use it to carry my Sony A6000 with a 70-350mm lens on my chest and another Sony A6000 with a 12mm lens on my hip. It affords me no hands and no camera swing while I am trying to climb over and around things in the woods to get my shot. The cameras are easy to remove from the holster to get the shot and just as easy to replace them there when starting to walk again. They also lock in so there are no worries about them falling out while climbing. If there was a flaw in it, it would be that you have to take off the mechanism that holds the camera into the holster in order to mount your tripod connector. Therefore you are limited to hand held shots while using this device. It would be so nice if the screw that held that mechanism on also had a screw hole in it so that you could easily mount, and remove, your tripod connector.

Lo uso durante bastantes horas y la verdad es que una vez que te haces a él es muy cómodo. Te lo tienes que poner y quitar unas cuantas veces con las cámaras colocadas para ajustarlo bien a ti. Tuve el fallo de ajustarlo la primera vez sin ningún peso, y cuando le coloqué las cámaras se me quedaba demasiado bajo. Una vez que me lo puse casi lo más alto que daba y le coloqué el peso de las cámaras con sus objetivos fue perfecto. Es muy fácil sacar y meter las cámaras, tienen un enganche que queda bien encajado para que la cámara no se salga aunque vayas pegando saltos, y para sacarla tienes que girar un poco a la derecha. Los hombros se te tienen que acostumbrar, y seguramente te termine doliendo un poco la cabeza o las cervicales, pero también influyen las 10 horas que pasas fotografiando en una boda, es normal. Para mí ha sido una gran adquisición, ahora voy con mis dos cámaras a donde quiera y tan cómoda.
