webbing version for its low price and pretty good reviews

I bought the non-elastic, webbing version for its low price and pretty good reviews. It worked just fine for me. It's a little fiddly to put on but once straightened out and the camera hung, it works. Given the price you can't beat it. Used it on several hikes and it controlled the camera (Canon EOS) nicely - no banging on my chest, no swinging down in the way when I leaned over. Easy to pull the camera into position for horizontal and vertical shots. Highly recommended.

Wish I had gotten one long before now!

This came recommended by fellow birders. I am sorry I didn't purchase it sooner! It makes it so much easier to carry my Nikon D500 with Nikon 200-500mm lens. I would have to hold the camera by hand with the neck strap because the weight was too much and made it very uncomfortable. This distributes the weight evenly and on the shoulders rather than the neck. I don't know if it's just me, but the release clips are difficult to operate - but at least I know that they won't let loose. :)

Great Neck Saver

I have a Nikon DSLR which is very heavy to hang on my neck all day when traveling. The OP/TECH USA Bino/Cam Harness was the perfect solution. All of the camera weight is now on my shoulders NOT my neck. I wish I had found this 40 years ago. I purchased an extra 1" male clasp which was quickly sent to me from OP/TECH and it worked out perfectly. Great company to do business with.

A great way to carry your camera.

This harness is really nice. It allows you to comfortably carry your camera, yet it does not interfere with using the camera. It's great for hiking, as it keeps the camera from bouncing around. When travelling in Europe recently, I wore the harness under a sport coat without a problem. I purchased the harness that has the non-stretch straps. I also like the quick-release clips. They are secure, and allow me to swap out the harness for an OP/TECH neck strap or wrist strap in seconds.

Never Leave Home Without This!

... and have an extra for backup. This is my 3rd one. Every camera now has one! I'm 5'4, medium build 135lbs and I shoot everything...weddings, landscapes, portraits. Of all my "convenience" gadgets, this one has been most valuable in that it protects my back and shoulders. I have Fibromyalgia, RA and have had 2 shoulder surgeries-- I know back pain and shoulder pain. I can shoot most things with this attached and if I need to get my camera on a tripod, I can quickly get out of it (it's ELASTIC) and place on a tripod or hand off to an assistant. It takes a little getting used to because it doesn't feel completely snug but I it does just fine with my D810s and 70-200mm lens. Looks a little strange walking around with it (camera lens points outward from body vs towards the ground). I get a kick out of it because my joints are worth it. I can kneel climb, etc. I wear a vest, so If I'm climbing and my lens is in jeopardy of being hit, I lift it up and zip my vest and off I go.

I love it!

This item is for u if u go on hikes or even around the city with ur camera, it help to have ur hands free (to hold hiking poles or to push ur baby's stroller!) while having ur camera "securely" accessible! It's also easy to pull the camera up to ur eye level. Tip, Try to attach it to the bottom of ur camera (in my case, I have an L-plate attached to the camera so I attached it to the plate) this will help keeping the camera pointing downwards, reducing the risk of bumping ur lens's front element and keeping it clean.

Great weight distribution & safety

Very pleased with this harness. I have always used wrist straps but I needed to take the pressure off my wrist due to some tendon problems. Its easy to adjust to the female form and it spreads the weight of the camera out so much across the back that it is much less noticeable. I use this with the extension straps. The elastic is heavy duty so it is only slightly stretchy, and if cinched properly around the shoulders the camera won't "bob". I have an optech sling also, by comparison I find myself constantly pulling on it, and it puts a lot of weight against the neck. With heavy duty locking dual connectors, my camera feels quite safe on this harness also.

Good system of straps for bincular or camera

I purchased this in conjunction with the Op/Tech Utility Strap and the tripod straps. The Utility strap and Bino/Cam Harness all use the same pinch connectors for attaching to the camera which makes the entire system of straps very convenient. The bino/cam harness was replacing another similar harness that did not have a system of compatible pinch connectors. I've always liked the concept of a bino/cam harness for the camera because it holds the camera in mid-abdomen, spreading the weight equally across both shoulders. That makes it very comfortable to carry and even makes it easy to use if a rain coat is needed. It even makes it possible to take pictures without raising the camera because it is hanging level in front of me. My only complaint is that the pinch connectors are very stiff.

Try it, you'll like it!

This thing is awesome. If you have never tried a camera/binocular harness, you have a treat in store. It totally takes all the weight off your neck, and makes your binoculars or camera feel weightless. This is crucial for me to enjoy a long hike and still have my camera or binoculars. It takes a little practice to get used to donning the harness, but it lets me wear the gear for hours at a time without feeling the weight. I sought out this OP/TECH version out because it is elastic instead of canvas webbing, and has quick-release connectors. I think the elastic webbing fits better than canvas webbing, for us of the female persuasion. And the quick-release lets me switch binoculars or camera between the harness and a regular strap. Easy peasy!

Gread design for carrying cameras and binoculars

A great design for carrying binocs or a camera. The connectors that fit on the camera/binocs can be clipped together to produce a carrying handle when not on the harness. I own several of these which I keep with cameras and bionoculars. The harness provided all-day comfort on photo safaries in South America, Africa and Indonesia. I highly recommend these over over-the-shoulder single straps. I sometimes connect my camera to one side and binoculars to the other. Though his is not an ideal arrangement, it works better for me than the harnesses designed to carry two items.
