Camera Vest

I bought this to use hiking and biking with a Nikon D7500 camera w/18-300 lens. I wanted a harness that solidly held the camera secure without dangling and also gave freedom of movement for both hiking and biking. It's a bit cumbersome at first to get the right fit as there are quite a few adjustment points. Though as everyone has a different torso shape I appreciated being able to get it to fit me exactly. For hiking, it easily fit under my backpack without impeding movement. I used the tether on the camera body but also kept the neck strap on for my own comfort level. The harness has an extra cross strap to hold the lens down keeping the whole camera from swinging while scrambling around on the rocks. Then I gave it a go with biking along a flat trail. It worked great by keeping the camera centered and secured without getting in the way of steering or peddling. It appears to be good quality and solid. It definitely held my DLSR without any problem. Overall a great product, I'm glad I bought it as it makes the camera easily accessible with outdoor activities.

This chest carrier harness is great. It securely holds my camera in place while walking or hiking. Additionally, there is a strap that can attach to your camera when the camera is in use. No neck or back strain associated with its use over hours of use. Well ventilated.

The good side: It holds my camera securely and the safety strap gives me peace of mind on more challenging hikes. The materials seem durable and its not ugly or awkward like some products similar to this. It gets the job done. The not as good side: It's doubtful you'll ever feel like this harness is truly comfortable. Tolerable, for sure. And not terrible, once you get it adjusted. But the netting on the back doesn't provide any grip so the weight of your camera is always going to be pulling the whole thing forward and down. It's just physics, and the construction is too slight to counteract that force. I've worn mine about a dozen times now, enough to start planning to adding a bit of neoprene or rubber padding to increase the long-term wearability. That said, I've worn this up to 4 hours, and 9 miles, so it's clearly not a dealbreaker. It accomplishes what I needed, which is to put my DSLR in a spot where it would be secure and safe - mounted to my chest and locked in place. For the price, this is a good product.

Quality appears to be good. Very simple assembly and adjustment. The translation from Chinese to English was very funny. Highly recommend

Im giving 5 but would really do 4.5*. Its fairly comfortable to wear and keeps a body snug to chest with short lens. Ill admit i pushed it with a 15" 3kg lens and still held ok for short periods. Dinging half star because the damn attachment to camera to clip to vest fell off camera at some point. It came loose on own even after tightening once.

Works well, just wish it came with replacement screw camera attachments, vest doesn't work without them.

Used this for a Nikon D3500 in the Grand Canyon, South Rim to North Rim and back in one long day... couldn’t have been more pleased. Comfortable, convenient, no issues at all.

Secured the camera, went out on a job, had to lean over an obstruction, the camera slid out and dropped onto a steel surface..... way down. lens is now broken, the camera is defective... total loss for now....about $1500.... to have to secure the camera with additional clips and locks defeats the accessibility... hence, by and large, it's a fairly useless and not well thought through product! sorry, that's my experience, if you need more info, let me know!

This is obviously a copy of the Cotton Carrier G3 but at a quarter of the price. I have tried it a few times while hiking and it carries camera and zoom lens no problem, while hiking you need both hands free and it does the job, the camera, so far, has been secure plus there is a security strap, just in case the camera falls. If I was a professional I would go for the Cotton Carrier but as an amateur I am happy with the Nicama and so is my wallet.

Cansado de llevar enganchado al cuello tu grabador, en este caso la ZOOM H6? Pues este chaleco es una de las mejores y económicas soluciones para trabajar en condiciones profesionales sin destrozarte el cuello. La primera vez que te lo pruebas puede agobiar un poco si hace mucho calor, aunque tiene todo tipo de correas para ajustártelo a tu gusto y al final es bastante cómodo y práctico. Incluso puedes colocarte grabadoras de mejor gama como una Sound Devices mix pre 10T sin problemas, gracias a las correas extra que lleva.

I love this harness. Would recommend. I primarily use my 75-300 mm lens when hiking for birding and this is perfect. It has a small piece that goes into the bottom of the camera (like where you would attach a tripod clip) that can help it lock into the harness. The harness took a bit of adjustment to get it to fit me how I liked but it’s a game changer with weight distribution for hiking and is saving my shoulders and neck. I can still wear a backpack with it and because my hands are free I can use hiking poles allowing my camera to just be attached to me without bouncing. It has a tether so you can attach the camera to the harness while photographing (in case you drop it). The only thing I had to get used to was the camera blocking my feet when I was on a more challenging hike. I had to go a bit slower to make sure of my footing since I couldn’t see my feet. Used on 2 big hikes in Jasper, Alberta this past summer and smaller hikes around the area I live.

Very well done.

Jag använder oftast 300mm objektiv så det blir tungt att bära kameran på promenader. Med denna kan jag utan problem bära den i flera timmar utan att jag blir trött. Lite krångligt att ta upp kameran ur hållaren ibland, men på det stora hela en utmärkt produkt. Nu återstår bara att se hur hållbar den är, återkommer om ett år!
