Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great way to carry your camera!

BACKGROUND: I am a photographer. I use this product (actually more of a fanny pack with accessory mount) to store my camera, lenses, flashlight and other small accessories. It's much quicker and easier to put on than hanging various accessories on the belt that holds the pants! Note that LowePro and ThinkTank make products for photographers that meet similar needs, but these products are much more expensive. To see my setup see the customer photo I posted. PRO: Plenty of MOLLE/PALS straps for attaching various accessories. .-Good lining for extended wear (8+ hours a day, no problem).-Left and right side can be opened with Velcro. Facilitates the insertion of the inner belt and ensures quick attachment of the hip supports. The lining wicks moisture away from the body and clothing. This makes it more comfortable to wear (but over time the lining can start to smell like backpack straps. I don't know how to clean it, but at this point it can be replaced fairly cheaply). also includes anti-rotation material to keep the strap in place. That's great, because quickly pulling a camera into a holster (or a knife, flashlight, pistol, paintball marker, or airsoft gun) depends on the holster being where you expect it to be. The seams look strong. The webbing is strong and generally well aligned. DISADVANTAGES: - The padding does not have a rigid reinforcement and can deform when a moderate weight load is applied to the harness. - Inner strap not included (it's obviously listed and ok to be honest. A cheap strap would be a waste of time as different straps meet different needs and a cheap base strap is more likely to be thrown away.) - No easy way to mount a Spider Pro Holster, Peak Design Capture Clip or similar camera mounting systems. I have developed several solutions. Wearing a military style belt in public can give you weird looks until they see the camera. To the uninitiated, to be honest, it doesn't look any weirder than a ThinkTank steroid belt or advanced hiking/climbing gear.
