Solid setup
I have carried two bodies for sports shooting for several years. I always wore them on two Joby Sling Straps crisscrossing my torso. I liked having two bodies at my hip, but it could be a little uncomfortable and hard to manage at times. I looked at some other solutions, but being a larger man, the skinny strap solutions from the popular companies did not appeal to me. The wide strap on the Joby did not usually twist and never dug in to my body. I was convinced the newer offerings would do that. I also did not want leather as I shoot outside in the summer and would just soak it with sweat.Then I saw the BlackRapid hybrid and knew I had to try it. To have the comfort of only one cross strap and shoulder pad and the capacity for two pro bodies is perfect. This has become my primary strap even with one body. The second strap hangs under my left arm and does not bother me at all when it's empty, so I just leave it on all the time. I also like the third strap which keeps everything on your shoulder. The quick-release clips are fantastic. I love leveraging the 1/4" socket for my straps, but hated having to switch straps or bodies. Swapping bodies is so much easier now.All in all a pricy purchase for "a camera strap", but well worth the money in my opinion.Lastly, I am a big guy and this fits me comfortably, mostly near the longest point of the adjustment straps.

Best thing I’ve bought
As a photojournalist, this is camera strap is one of the best things I’ve bought. Very secure, helps distribute the weight of my cameras more evenly than the neck strap, and lots of ways to lock the cameras in place for ease of movement. A little bit of an investment but definitely worth it!

Good system for one or two APS-C cameras
I have two Sony a6400 cameras and sometimes need to carry both for photographing evens. I've carried my previous single a6000 on a cross-body sling and really like that method of carrying the camera instead of a conventional neck strap. When I moved to a two-camera setup, I initially was going to get the Double Breathe Harness (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01LFREKUM).However, I also often only need to carry one camera and the Hybrid Breathe looked like the better choice.Overall, I like this strap. The left side strap for the second camera is removable when I don't need it. I'm 6'2" about 230 lbs. and each strap is comfortable and adjustable so the camera grips can ride at hand level. I don't use the Black Rapid tripod screw attachment for the locking carabiner. I use the OP/TECH Utility Loops (https://smile.amazon.com/OP-TECH-USA-Utility-Connector/dp/B000IN3RUE) on the left camera neck strap ring. This lets the camera hang grip down and I can ride it with my hand there .The only weakness so far is that even with the armpit strap, the harness occasionally rides up and tries to slide off the shoulder, especially when using only one camera. Also, when donning the strap, finding the armpit strap with my right and can sometimes be a struggle.

Comfortable & Versitile Camera Sling / Strap
Great Pro-Quality camera strap/sling. Very comfortable and works well for its intended purposes. Have used it for shooting on location portrait sessions, outdoor and indoor sports. Definitely a HUGE benefit of having the ability to carry 2 cameras so you can have wide angle and zoom lens easily accessible. It is easy to switch from one camera body to the other which is especially important when shooting sports. I have not used another strap like this to compare it to but at this time I have no complaints relating to this one. I would not hesitate recommending this to fellow photogs.

Comfortable
Surprised how much I like this system. I carry a large 180-600mm lens while hiking that is uncomfortable with a neck strap. This puts all the weight in the perfect spot on my shoulder and lets me take a wide angle camera. Also the cameras are fastened securely with multiple locks to keep the clip closed.

OK, but not great
I always use two cameras during event photography and usually use two BlackRapid cross shots type straps. When I forgot one of my straps at a venue, but had another job coming up I thought why not just buy a new strap that holds two cameras. I've used this one a few times now, but don't really like the handling of it: it's not as easy to put on compared to using two single straps, taking one camera off messes with the balance and when you just want to take it off for short break you better take the cameras off first, etc. After getting my second strap back, I went back to my old setup with two cross shot single straps

The Yeti 2.0
For many years I wanted the BlackRapid Yeti, this strap is the Yeti 2.0; an upgrade and it felt like the right time to get one.I love the new system where the camera can be locked in place when not in use. I've used a similar strap to this one in the past from another brand and the BlackRapid supersedes it in every I could have imagined. The strap is super comfy, convertible to a single strap when using just one camera and I love the little carry pouch.I've used as a double and a single strap and it works like a charm. There's no turning back for me now.
