Review on πŸ“· OP/TECH USA Dual Harness 3/8" Regular - Two-Camera Harness with Enhanced SEO by Jorge Tupou

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Comfortable and versatile! No neck strain, instant access to any camera without contamination

I shoot a few events and use regular neck straps. I have two APS-C bodies that I use with overlapping zooms: 18-105 and 70-300 which is 105-450. Each lens weighs more than the body, especially the big 70-300 at 2 pounds. They weigh about 5 pounds total with all the weight on my neck, get tangled, get dirty, bump into each other and sometimes miss a frame because I couldn't take apart a camera fast enough. I read the reviews. I mainly read 1 and 2 star reviews to find out what people think badly about a product. I do my due diligence and I rarely get burned. I love this product! I posted pictures of me with a tourniquet and my cameras. I bought the normal size even though I'm 1.80m tall. Perfect. I adjust everything so that the cameras move at about waist height. I see complaints about not being able to move quickly with the gear, but I've included a photo of me just grabbing the left and right straps with one hand. Because my cameras are mounted fairly high, they don't wobble or rattle when moving. I don't run, but I can walk pretty fast. I think it's great that I can quickly hang just one camera on the mount without straining my neck. I may never use a regular strap again. I don't quite understand people complaining about discomfort when sitting (probably with a back). I traveled back and forth to and from work with no complaints. On long trips I removed the cameras. I have no problem getting a camera to my eye and I can raise the camera over my head. Now I've shortened the rig so overhead reach is now limited by the straps unless I unhooked something. I do it so seldom that I don't see a problem with it and if there was one it would be easy to solve by lengthening the straps or just unbuckling one. I prefer to keep the straps short to avoid body-to-lens collisions, but the only thing about this rig is its flexibility. I chose 3/8 because I like the security of eyelet straps on cameras. I gave up anything that used a tripod thread - the specter of a camera unscrewing and falling was just upside down. I think it's a great setup, great buy, professional quality.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Some little things
