I just came back from 10 days at Disney World where wearing my Nikon D40 around my neck was very hot and uncomfortable. The Disney photo staff all were wearing camera harnesses so I asked them about the harnesses and found out how comfortable they are. I came home and immediately ordered one and am I thrilled that I did!
If you have heavy equipment and your on a long shoot this will save your neck and protect your equipment from swinging away from you as you bend over etc. I shoot often with my Canon 70-200mm L IS f/2.8 lens and it is not a light weight! This is the best strap setup I have ever owned and I have had many!
This harness moves the weight of the camera from the neck to the shoulders. It really does what the manufacturer claims it does.
I bought this to use with a Nikon D300 with battery pack and a 70-200 f/2.8 lens (weighing over 7 lbs). While I love my Op-Tech pro strap for most shooting situations, I found that extended use during sports events left me with a sore neck. I have (and could use) a monopod, but I like the flexibility of handheld shooting better.
I recently biked across the Golden Gate bridge into Sausalito and on to Tiburon while my wife and I were on vacation in San Francisco. I knew I would be taking a lot of pictures along the way. I also knew that my camera would be swinging back and forth and hanging down if I did not get something to hold it in place. I bought the Bino/Cam Harness hoping it would help and it worked perfectly.
I tend to climb rock cliffs and prune trees while wearing my binoculars. They swing and get banged up and out of alignment.
I love this thing. It combines all the comfort of a camera bag with all the convenience of a neck strap. (Almost all the convenience -- I find it a little awkward for vertical shots, but unsnapping one of the buckles solves it).
Only tried it on for fit, but I can feel the difference in my neck! I carry an Olympus E-500. The camera/lens doesn't weigh much, but with the neck strap it gets uncomfortable. This harness strap will make a big difference, I'm sure!
This a such a good idea that each of my heavy "around-the-neck" collection of items (cameras, binoculars) has gotten one. It is amazing how heavy SLR's are now easier to carry, and that's saying nothing about the advantage of having both hands free to change lenses and handle the camera safely.
Bought this harness for use with a Nikon D300 which is a much heavier camera than my last and do not regret it. I have a neck injury which makes it hard to hang or tie anything around now, so this harness is a Godsend.
