BLACKRAPID Double Breathe-Black, Comfortable & Adjustable Sling Camera Harness Strap Abdominal Support, One Size

Carrying to camera bodies and lenses all day could be a real pain but with this strap I have no shoulder or back ache. Well made.

I bought this in February but decided to work through the wedding / touring season before reviewing it. Honestly this is a top quality product, it’s comfortable and relatively low-key, doesn’t scream for attention. I had never liked leather harnesses as I felt they were for posers, this is practical and doesn’t make you look like a goober. 5 stars

I bought this item in an attempt to reduce the weight of two heavy DSLR cameras hanging around my neck for awhile extended time. The design works very well and performs as advertised. I did find it difficult to take very low shots, finding it easier to unclip the camera, take the image then to reconnect it.

Used this to transport my Nikon bodies with telephoto lens attached.Well made product and comfortable once adjusted.A bit on the pricey side but works well Transported Nikon 200-500mm lens along with Sigma 70-300mm lens attached to camera bodies and was comfortable even after several hours

An expensive item that could save your cameras. Light weight and comfortable. A worthwhile investment.

All that you want if you have two cameras, that you use at the same time. Both my cameras are around 5kgs and I can eat them for a day with no problem.

Very comfortable fit and great design. Love it

I was using rifle slings for years before BlackRapid came along, and they served me well. I thought I would try these out and bought them in 2023. They have not been used much since, maybe 4 or 5 times, and not in heavy use when they are. May 2024, one event and the Lockstar gate, that "won't fail you", did fail me. It snapped halfway through the day. The carabiner was still screwed on so I didn't lose my gear but it makes me rethink how reliable the rest of this is, if it fails after so few uses (and seeing other failures here).For now I am second guessing by tying zip ties as backups to areas of this in case of failure because I now do not trust BlackRapid products. Otherwise it seems a little over engineered but it is comfortable and looks less aggressive than some of my ex-mil type gear that I used.

This is coming from a plus-sized/obese woman (107kg/235 lbs), for reference.I purchased this last minute for a recent trip where a portion of my visit stated my camera bag dimensions would be rejected and not allowed to enter the premises. Blinking, I wondered if I could rig my current single camera Blackrapid strap for two cameras, and then thought: You're an idiot, CERTAINLY other photogs have had dual camera issues and this has been solved.Of course it has! I read multiple other reviews, watched videos, especially from those fitting my physicality, so this is both a review and a response.I took a chance on this particular set-up because of what I saw as a few flaws/differences in the reviews for heavy women between how I would use it.Overall: The versatility of adjustment with this harness is fantastic. I found it worked with my body type for both hiking and urban photography, as I could adjust it on the go. I have small concerns with the long-term durability of the plastic clamps, but overall this looks to be an excellent addition to my travel gear. if you are a dual camera wielder that is sick of half+ your weight on your camera bag hanging off your shoulders: give this a serious try.1) This is an EXCELLENT hiking harness: my trip was "technically" urban-ish, but it also involved ascending 56 storeys and walking or hiking 13 km/ 8 miles a day. Before I left on my trip, I tested it on my daily 8 km / 5 miles for a couple of days to make sure the balance between my left and right cameras could accommodate my height (less than 165 cm /5'5"), balance, movement, and activity.2) Fit: There are definitely people this won't fit well, I feel like height-wise I'm on the barely acceptable small side. In order to achieve a good balance - and several reviews in my demo (shorter/overweight/female) stated they thought it wasn't a good fit - it takes some physics balancing between your body and the cameras (in plural) to keep the harness from creeping up.Just keeping the "cameras" at "hip" level isn't enough, you need to adjust based on your body shape/movement gate, the weight of each camera, and your activity to reach a good balance for the swing of cameras at rest (cinched by the clips) and slide of the harness up your chest. When one part of my trip went from rapid ascent/descent to flat-more-urbanized landscapes, I was able to easily adjust the gravity balance of my cameras for the change. I experienced a bit of riding up of the front-center harness strap, but only after I'd stopped to really notice that it had ridden above where I'd expected it. (aka: I didn't physically notice it, when the cameras were balanced to my activities.)Being as short as I am, the "back" straps DO have some bulge. It's not noticeable when you have a light jacket on, but when it is you and the straps... it's technically there. Again, this is because I was focused on overall balance of my cameras vs my activities.Physicality: These were an absolute DELIGHT to wear for 12+ hours at a time. With my camera bag (sling) and my single-strap BR, and backpacks, I feel a lot of muscle tension buildup over the day. End of a 14 hour day with this harness: felt nothing in my shoulders or back. Amazing, chef's kiss, have been recommending it during and after my trip. I look forward to my next hiking trip.Durability: My initial usage was only 10 days - I'm looking forward to more trips. However, several reviews have pointed out weak points which I can agree with: the plastic clips. Given the likely usage for people willing to shell out this much for a camera harness, I don't think it unreasonable to use metal clips, despite the possible wear on the straps, because I can foresee these hard plastic clips giving out with standard use.Downsides:1) Obviously there is the external element. having cameras hanging from your hips is going to incur bouncing, regardless of how cinched they are. Also if you don't have a long enough jacket/wrap, the cameras will be exposed to rain/fog. Three of my travel days were Very Wet, and my windbreaker + umbrella was more than enough to keep my equipment dry.2) As others have stated, the weak points (plastic clips, etc) are the worst weak points. Overall, I'm most concerned about the chest clip, as from my usage that seems like it will be the weakest point overall, unless the CamLocks (clips securing the cameras) movement give out first.

Ich habe diesen Gurt für Hochzeiten gekauft. Eine Kamera mit 22mm Objektiv und die andere mit 56mm. So kann ich immer schnell wechseln. Funktioniert gut und der Gurt hält einiges aus!

Quando la si prova si comprende che il prodotto vale il costo da sostenere. Non dimentichiamoci che attaccate ci sono due fotocamere, altrettanti obiettivi. Se la tracolla è fatta bene e le fibbie sono robuste non ci sono problemi. tempo fa con una tracolla economica a cui si è rotta una fibbia in plastica per poco non combinavo un disastro... sono riuscito a prendere al volo la tracolla che stava cadendo dalla mia spalla, e la fotocamera non è caduta. Sembrano tanti soldi... ma la sicurezza di ciò che è agganciato, vale il risparmio di (relativamente) pochi euro? Andando sul pratico, la doppia tracolla è comoda, il peso ben distribuito, la si può indossare per ore senza percepire peso eccessivo o fastidio. Ottimo prodotto.

Hoe kan men werken met 2 camera's zonder deze strap.BLACKRAPID zijn de enige die ik gebruik, sterk en toch licht, makkelijk in gebruik en makkelijk mee te nemen.Deze dubbele strap heeft ook de nodige ventilatie die ervoor zorgt dat bij warme dagen het dragen van deze strap werkbaar maakt. Je kan bovendien de camera's blokkeren zodanig dat ze niet in de weg hangen bij het bukken of bij het stappen.
