Has anyone got a photography harness?

[Steven Gourlay]

This harness is starting to appeal to me, just wonder what it would be like with a backpack on the back? Reason i ask is i could setup my camera in the large pouch with strap over my neck while having Aidan or my hide on the back. Hmmmmm

Do anyone know if they make a size that will fit a fat chap,if they do I could stow all my camera gear on the front and put Rob on his chair on the back, only kidding Rob I was thinking of the other way around.

Hi Guys.
I have never used an actual harness system, but have for many years now used the "Lowepro Street & Field" system consisting of a couple of pouches on a belt. The pouches have contained accessories in one and my flash gear in the second.
This is an ideal technique when separated from your main gear because you are crawling acroos a muudy field. The last thing you want to do is forget such extras as batteries, flash cards, flash gun, extender etc.
I know Stealth Gear is doing something in this line and am looking forward to testing their products, especially when you consider their prices.
Keep on clickin.

When I bought my 600mm F4 I needed something practical to carry it around in. Obviously it needs to keep my lens protected, but at the same time not be too heavy in itself

After quite a bit of research and email correspondence with Kinesis they advised me on the equipment I needed. Besides the lens case, I also purchased a harness system to fit to the case so I could carry it, leaving my arms free to carry the tripod or whatever...

[L621] PC Long Lens Case 600
(Now replaced with the L622) $296.00
For 600/4 lens w/ hood extended but w/o body. Will also carry most 500/4s with body attached and with hood extended.

Will carry my Pentax K20D with 600mm F4 attached

The case is strong enough, and tall enough, to use as a temporary seat if needed!

The belt and shoulder harness system has provision for additional pouches etc

(Bit like military 58/soldier 95 pattern webbing setup)

There stuff does look good but its very confusing for people on what they need to buy. Photo of you with it on would be good.

Hi Steven,

Their stuff is very good and the staff were extremely helpful when it came to deciding what was needed. I was not sure on what lens case to buy as there were two similar models. Plus, the belt I chose was considered a bit of overkill for my needs, so they suggested a cheaper and more supple version - more comfortable to wear. I also bought their safari bean bag.
There is also a downloadable catalogue of their products

As for the photo - will sort something out for you

Sounds like good service.
