USA GEAR DSLR Camera Strap Chest Harness with Quick Release Buckles, Black Neoprene Pattern and Accessory Pockets - Compatible with Canon, Nikon, Sony and More Point and Shoot and Mirrorless Cameras

I have used this every day at work for almost 2 years. I have not used this for it's intended purpose (to hold a heavy camera or binoculars), but it's well made. The sewing is well done, the edges are finished, the material seems durable. I am surprised it's so cheap (15 when I bought it).I had heavy keys kept on a "Key-Bak" (high quality retractable key clip). They snag when kept on the waist or a neck lanyard. I split the keys and clipped a Key-Bak onto each strap so that they hang under each arm. The pockets are short (made for batteries and memory cards), but the manufacturer did not cut corners when making them. You can carefully cut the bottom out of the upper pocket, which opens it up to hold long items like pens. I keep 2 pens in one pocket and a boxcutter in the other. (I removed the part that holds the camera.)The padded part is flexible, but holds its shape. This makes it easy to put on and take off, and it doesn't become a tangled mess of straps when you take it off and carelessly toss it somewhere. The padded part is the reason I chose this particular harness, some of the other designs look like they will slide up and end up with the back portion still rubbing on your neck. I don't ever feel like this is touching my neck. However, I didn't use it with a heavy camera like intended.The padded part is soft and flat enough that I don't have a problem leaning back into a chair. The harness sits loosely, it's not snug on your body. It stays in place because of it's shape.

I purchased this for days when I only need one camera body and to help alleviate pain in my neck and shoulders when photographing.I already have a Black Rapid dual strap and this item looked very comparable online.I tested it out with an old camera and it works perfectly. I was able to lift the body easily as it glided and it did not shift the camera strap. The 4 pockets on the front are actually very large.Perfect for camera cards, glasses, wipes, medication and keys. Added bonus was the variety of colors and styles to choose from. Perfect strap for hobbyist or professional photographers.

Alright. I just got this yesterday, and opened it five minutes ago. A few other reviews mention the sad little keyrings- they are, indeed, very small and flimsy. For reference, I have RA especially in my hands, and I could push the one end up and over the center coil, so these are NOT something I would trust to hold my $2500 investment. While that is easily remedied, I would prefer that they offer a stronger ring, or a climbing ring to show they mean business about camera safety and usability of their product. I slipped the harness on sans camera, and even the preset length felt nice on my 5’1”/122lb frame. The straps are wide enough to feel nice and supportive. I do wish I had a center strap for added security/stability of harness- I might have to make my own for that. The “leather” accents look to be artificial/vegan leather but still look nice. The neoprene aspect is nice! Makes it a bit more stretchy for movement. I’m a starving artist level photographer, so I have to save where I can. I got this for $15, versus the really nice leather harnesses for $100. I’ll update if anything changes my opinion- wish I could give like 4.5 stars, but they’re selling themselves cheap with the key ring attempt.Update: July 19, 2021This harness works best, for me, in situations where I wear my camera for longer periods. It just doesn’t have enough slide length to bring my camera up to my face without having to shrug up the harness as well. I just picked up some S carabiners (hoping the 5lb weight limit on each is sufficient) to attach to the body, so I can rig a better and faster way to dis/connect. I still find myself reaching for my single strap for easier use, but I am confident that I’ll be using the harness for weddings.

Makes carrying a camera bag comfortable and secure. I wear it under my backpack and hardly notice it. Easily adjusted to fit. Much better than a strap around my neck. A very good deal. Highly recommended.

Got this to help support the Sony 200-600.I got some Peak Design quick releases and the setup is amazing.As long as you're not walking too much! The lens hangs really low.This is fine when you're stationary. But while walking the lens will collide with your thighs each step.One way to improve this would be to figure out how to make a chest strap that could secure the lens higher on your body like a papoose position.This is my only complaint. For now I just cradle the lens across the top of my chest when I walk. When I find a spot that I'd like to take a rest or sit and shoot photos then letting the lens hang from the straps is more comfortable and natural feeling than a sling to me.Even though it's not suitable for long nature walks I still rate this 10/10 simply because of how comfortable it is to have that BAL supported by both shoulders.

It took some adjusting to get it comfortable and have the camera hang where I need it. I really love the fact that it takes so much strain off of my neck. I have arthritis and this reduces the neck pain of carrying a camera all day when on tour, vacation or just out for a day. Materials seem quality. Fits into my camera slots for holding camera - do not try to use the tiny rings unless you have one of those lightweight point and shoots, they are not made for a proper camera - especially with long lens attached.

What are comfortable strap compared to traditional camera straps by far? This is better for balance and quick access. Certainly the price is great.
