Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Camera Harness System for 2 Cameras, Grey

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!!!

The system works great. Be aware the second camera mount rides too high for a man that's big and tall. You will have no issue removing the camera from the system but returning the camera to the mount is rather difficult. On a smaller person the horizontal strap rides lower more towards the upper waist. For a larger man like myself the horizontal strap is closer to my upper rib cage and I need to use the secondary mount on a seperate belt instead. Only reason I mention this is there are times when a photographer needs to switch cameras fast to get that action shot. Fumbling around to try and holster a camera on the second mount so you can then deploy your primary camera mounted on the chest plate is going to mean the difference between getting the shot or not. I am real impressed in the comfort of carrying my primary camera on the chest plate mount.

Love this camera harness. Comfortable, not too heavy or too hot to wear.

Just got this in the mail today....had been really been anxious for it, but I'm a bit disappointed, it looks like sturdier material in the picture. Good vest, but over priced. But it does look professional. I had a similar vest from another brand, and they both are similarly designed. I was about to go out and shoot night scenics, and lost the last vest I had. Saw this one and ordered it. I need a vest like this because it allows me to carry 2 camera bodies with lenses, and do more shooting without switching lenses back and forth..and give me the versatility I need when shooting. It also helps me keep my gear organized. It's comfortable enough, but unfortunately, the camera lock system for this vest did not work for me. After about an hour of trying, I went to the hardware store trying to find a longer screw, and wasted time and a few dollars, and that didn't work either...lol so I ended up having to use the camera locking system from my old vest. I had to force them into the new female end of the holder, but they work. I just need to order another of the screws for my old lock system, and a new D-ring belt, and I'll ready to shoot!

I drug my feet for a year or more on purchasing a Cotton Carrier. I had other things I wanted to spend money on for my business, and couldn't seem to get myself to pull the trigger on this setup. I shoot portraits, weddings and other events that require I be on my feet for extended periods of time (I sometimes carry my gear horseback as well); and I most often carry two cameras so I'm not switching lenses constantly (personal preference). The sling system I was using was very hard on my neck/back and I never felt my gear was all that protected, swinging at my hips as it was. It took catching a strap on a church pew and a $600 bill for a new front element replacement on my favorite portrait lens for me to decide the price was worth it. This harness has been the best investment for my back and gear; it's so ergonomic and comfortable to wear, and I don't feel like my camera/lenses are swinging around, but tucked safely at my chest and side. I also love the little hidden pocket that sits against my chest; I hide all of my memory cards there throughout a wedding or event; peace of mind. I think if I were to have any complaints, it would be that it isn't really made for larger chested women. I'm borderline; if my chest were any larger, I'm not sure I could comfortably wear this harness. It also gets a bit hot, but that really doesn't bother me. I'd rather be a touch warm, than be hurting as bad as I had been. I've gotten many compliments at how comfortable and professional the Cotton Carrier looks. So my advice? Don't hesitate to do something nice for yourself; skip the el-cheap-o straps and harnesses and go for a Cotton Carrier! You won't regret it!

Supported my Canon RP camera with a Sigma 150-600mm lens on the front and Canon R6 Mark III camera with a Canon RF 24-105mm lens on the side without causing any neck or back pains after walking up and down steep hills for over a mile. Easy to remove and reinsert cameras on to the vest. The vest seems to be well made.

I have sony A7R5+50150, and A7CR+2870, they are kinda heavy and I shot events a lot. I tried other kinds of carry methods before, not that comfortable, and I ended up putting one camera on the table while holding one with me, and then switch... but this is not mobile enough, I might miss some important moments. I also go Anime Cons a lot, carrying two cameras with me is always a risk, because i can only have one in my hand while another one setting in my cart. Now with this one, I can have both cameras with me the same time, and even if I carry 50-150 F2 lens, put it on my chest makes carrying it so much smoothier and better, not get tired that easily. Great product, recommended by a friend, and now I would recommend to others who havent decide yet, the earlier you buy the earlier you enjoy your photography life. Peace out.

I am predominantly a wildlife/nature photographer, but occasionally shoot some sporting events. Carrying 12 lbs of primary camera hanging around my neck can get miserable, especially if I have to do a lot of walking or hiking with my telephoto lens. Forget it if I need to have two cameras with me. The chest camera mount holds my camera body with 200 - 500mm lens very securely and comfortably. I can quickly release the lens strap and camera and not miss a shot. I do find that I would rather mount the second camera mount on my belt of my pants rather than the strap of this harness. The strap sits a little too high to be comfortable. I also bought the waist system for this reason. I have seen where women who might be a little larger in the chest ask about comfort with this. I am also a little larger and find that the cut of this is comfortable in this situation and should not be a hinderance for you. I am not a small woman, but also not considered obese (size 12 - 14) and had to adjust the shoulder straps smaller and had to cut the waist straps down after I got them where I needed them. They are long enough to fit two of me in there. Buy this! It's worth the price. It will save your neck, back, and wrists from carrying heavy gear for any amount of time.

excellent product..great design

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。

Desde que empecé a usarlo se ha convertido en herramienta imprescindible en mi dia a dia como fotógrafo hasta tal punto de que mis camaras no llevan correas, ya que siempre lo utilizo. Es muy cómodo y lo puedo llevar puesto encima incluso llevando prendas de abrigo. La calidad de materiales junto con la comodidad que significa el poder llevar las camaras teniendo libres cuello lo han hecho. Sin duda la mejor compra que pude hacer, una vez que lo pruebas no querrás otra cosa.

Avec un gros boitier et/ou objectif, les courroies ou straps classiques sont rapidement un supplice au niveau du cou, surtout lorsqu'il fait chaud ou que l'on bouge beaucoup (balade en ville, randonnée...), et les attaches rapides type Peak design Captures sont déséquilibrées d'un côté sur une bretelle de sac ou à la ceinture ou limitées par le poids important (Canon 5D4 + 24-70 font presque 2kg). Ou bien on laisse le reflex dans le sac à dos photo et on ne le ressort finalement plus, ou pas assez rapidement. Testé intensivement en montagne, en forêt, en jungle ou en ville, en plein soleil ou sous la pluie sous le k-way, ce harnais m'a réconcilié avec mes plus gros objectifs ! Il réussit le miracle de maintenir de façon stable et sécurisée de gros appareils photo, à portée très rapide de main lorsque les prises de vue se présentent, en répartissant le poids de façon assez confortable et symétrique, et tout en conservant les 2 mains libres. Il se fait oublier sous un sac à dos même lourd au niveau du dos ou des bretelles, il s'installe et s'enlève rapidement, peut se modifier à la volée sans outillage en longueur, en écartement de bretelles au niveau des trapèzes... Les quelques inconvénients mineurs sont que la position thoracique centrale haute passe souvent au niveau des sangles de poitrines des sacs à dos mais on peut faire passer celle-ci sous l'attache de l'appareil photo, que le dos du harnais peut tenir un peu chaud et que la fixation sous l'appareil photo utilise la vis trépied. La deuxième attache pour ceinture est intéressante pour un plus petit boitier ou des jumelles mais l'on retrouve un peu les inconvénients des attaches rapide type Capture car le poids asymétrique fait basculer la ceinture et la position au niveau de la hanche est beaucoup moins stable en mouvement. En dehors de ça, il m'est devenu indispensable et remplace désormais à demeure la courroie rapide de mon Canon 5D en extérieur. Je recommande.
