Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I do quite a bit of hiking, hunting, etc - all things outside where lugging around a large pack for the camera is possible, but doesn't make that much sense. As such, I've tried a wide variety of ways to make it easy to get that quick shot while also protecting the camera. I have pouches I attach to my backpack belt for my lenses and the camera itself. The problem was I found myself hanging the camera around my neck as I was hiking and my neck would get sore quickly.
I found this and decided for ~$20 it was worth the try. To be blunt, it is probably the best thing I've bought for hiking with the camera - including all my lenses. This attaches to the camera via clips which appear to be sturdy enough to last for a while. There are two clips to attach to "O" rings on backpacks. Mine didn't have those, but a couple of "D" clips used for climbing got to the same end result.
I tried this out in Zion National Park. We were climbing across rocks (didn't necessarily follow the path...) and this worked great. First, it places the weight on my shoulders, not neck (it did bump against my chest but not enough to bother me). Second, it is at the perfect level (there are adjustments that can be made - although minor) to grab quickly to get that shot of a fleeting bird, deer, moose, etc. Third, it takes seconds to disconnect and stuff into my holster bag - while also taking much less space since there's only a couple inches of strap on each side after it is unhooked.
I highly recommend this to anyone who hikes with a DSL camera!
