Questions & Answers

BILL E : Does anyone have experience with carrying heavier lenses like 600mm?STEPHEN W : I am using the harness with the Sigma 60-600mm lens. It is a heavy lens and the harness is very helpful.DENNIS P : I'm currently using using the harness with a Canon EOS 7D Mark II with a Sigma 150-600mm Zoom lens and it works great I would recommend the harness to anybody.KAREN A : I carry a Nikon 200-500. I periodically put it down while observing. The harness does allow me to take the lens on long walks and not miss shots. I use the harness on a regular basis for birding especially during migration.Anjani V : I carried tamron 70-200 and 150-600 at once. its difficult but manageble hoping that it is not a everyday use scenario. I am happy with it.DARWIN B : I have a different model, but similar. My model has the mount on the chest, and is designed for just the camera/lense mount on the chest. I have not used this specific carrier. I primarily use that carrier with smaller lenses (one of my standard is canon L 15-35mm). It works "fine" with the body, lens, and a flash, but works better without the flash, as the flash is very heavy (and top heavy), and pulls the entire mounted camera towards the ground. I've used this with a 70-300mm and 400mm, and it's doable, but it depends what you are using this for. I purchased this for (of all things) caving, where I need both my hands free at various points. It works great, but given some of the movements, it's still not ideal. It is, however, the best option I've found for needing to carry the camera/Lens on me, and allow me to be handsfree when needed.JOSEPH W : Yes, I recently tested my Cotton Carrier harness with a Canon 1D IV and f/4 400mm -- a pretty heavy combination -- and was rather delighted with the performance. There is enough overall material and strap tension to keep the harness secure on the body, and the long camera rig tight to the harness, so all manner of body contortions scrambling over fallen trees and boulders would not dislodge or sway the equipment with both hands kept entirely free. About as secure as a good backpack, but on the chest, with the camera accessible for a shot within seconds. I recently took the harness on 3 days of hiking in the Rockies, albeit with a slightly smaller lens (70-200mm), and it worked like a charm. It doesn't interfere with wearing a regular backpack (which nicely balances the front-to-back weight on day-long hikes). I literally can't think of anything that would improve this harness, -- much better than other slings, shoulder bags and straps that I've tried for a long lens out in the field.
Malcolm S : Won’t this work with two cameras and lenses? And are available to order?
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Ken W : I have a tender back and need something to carry binocs and a camera more comfortably. Read the reviews and watched the video, this looks like what I need. If I like it will probably also get one for my wife.

Why did I wait so long! Very well-designed and I feel it will last a very long time.

I should have purchased this long ago! It works very well and I can walk without worrning about carrying the camera but yet, I can quickly take a picture when I see something.It did take me a while to adjust the straps but now all I do is use buckle to take it off and on. I also find it handy when it is in the carrier to look down and make sure I have the correct setting on the camera as the screen in pointed up. Great product!

Carrier does its job well

It is very good and makes carrying a camera with a long lens much easier, especially in mountainous conditions. At times it is very difficult to remove the camera from the carrier due to alignment and a tight fit between the camera lug and the carrier channel. Hopefully this will improve as the channel gets worn thru use.

Chest rig

Cery comfortable to wear. Just with the cheat piece was wider. It sits down the middle and if you?re a bit chubby like me or female I can imagine it doesn?t look very cool.

Fantastic carrier!

This carrier system is really well made, comfortable and secures my camera easily with a quick release. I purchased the single camera system and my husband bought me the 2-camera carrier for a gift. I tried both and have returned the 1-camera carrier to keep the 2-camera system. Really great product!

Great harness!

I?ve only been able to use this harness once so far, but I?m in love with it already. I took a couple mile hike with my Canon 7D Mark ii with a Sigma 150-600 contemporary lens attached and this harness made the hike a breeze. Before I would have to hold the camera and lens to keep the weight off my neck, not anymore!

Great product. Well made and comfortable. I use it with my 200/600 lens with no problems. Keeps gear stable and is quick and easy to secure and unsecure. I would definitely recommend.

Lightweight, comfortable and functional

Bought this for my husband. He loves it. It's easy to slide his camera with the huge long lens into the holder. It distributes the weight, leaves his hands free if needed, and takes pressure off his back. He's often out all day shooting, so this harness is a great help.

nicely load bearing

I tried this harness out hiking 10 miles in mixed terrain with a heavy Canon EOS-1D and 300mm lens, and the thing performed admirably, holding that much gear steady without sway, freeing the hands, and leaving the camera instantly available for shooting.

I really like this carrier.

This carrier is well made and holds your camera snuggly while being easily accessible for spur of the moment shots. It appears made to easily accommodate very large people. I had way too much strap hanging down after adjusting to fit. I can wear this carrier all day with very little discomfort. I will say it can get a little warm while hiking.

Worth the money!

There was no better way to carrying a backpack and camera while hiking. Having a chest harness makes it readily available and easier to carry as weight distribution is a factor for exploring. Top notch material and made with quality.

Harness A Helping Hand / Harness An Extra Hand

Excellent way to free up your hands or carry that extra weight load from those long telephoto lenses. This unit is easy on the back as well as your shoulders.

Great for out on the trail

This is a handy accessory to have when hiking trails with a long lens. Your hands are free to scale rock formations and the lens is secure from banging around. I used it last weekend at Curt Gowdy State Park. I wish I would have purchased one years ago.

Explore the great outdoors with the Cotton Carrier G3 Harness System, designed specifically for binoculars and a camera. This Realtree Xtra Camo harness is the only system globally that provides a comfortable and secure way to carry both binoculars and a camera simultaneously.

The G3 Harness System features a unique mount that accommodates all binocular sizes, positioning them horizontally for easy access and allowing for direct tripod mounting. The camera hub, crafted from C&C machined, anodized aluminum, securely supports and fastens any camera and lens size, ensuring your equipment is always ready for that perfect shot.

Designed with ergonomics in mind, this harness system evenly distributes the weight of your gear, reducing fatigue during long days in the field. The harness is constructed from durable Kodra Synthetic canvas with DWR coding, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of outdoor use.

Our patented Twist & Lock camera mount, a feature of the adjustable, one-size-fits-all Camera Harness, provides a super-strong connection to your gear. This innovative system allows for quick and secure attachment of your equipment, keeping your hands free and your body mobile.

The G3 Harness System also includes a quick-release waist belt with speed straps, two front stash pockets for extra memory cards or small items, a large outside pocket on the back, and a redesigned, quieter lens hold-down strap. This strap features a quick clip for silent operation, ideal for situations where discretion is key.

Our patented Twist & Lock Mount System ensures stability and security. A single twist locks your binoculars or camera in place, deterring theft and preventing your gear from moving around during vigorous activity.

The anodized aluminum mounting hubs included in this system are threaded for direct mounting to the top of your tripod. For additional versatility, our patented Universal Tripod Adapter plate (sold separately) is compatible with most tripod heads on the market and fits directly into any Arca-Swiss style quick-release head.

Please note that the Cotton Camera Carrying Systems involve moving parts that require regular maintenance. Use the included tightening tool (Allen Key) to secure the Camera Hub as tightly as possible. Regularly check the condition of both the Hub and Camera Mount for any signs of wear or damage, and keep both components clean and free of grit and debris.

With the Cotton Carrier G3 Harness System, you're always ready to capture the perfect shot or spot that elusive bird, no matter where your adventures take you.
