Makes packing two cameras a pleasure

This is the perfect solution for taking two cameras into the field. You don't have a heavy camera hanging around your neck that constatntly swings back and forth. And, your second camera is also ready for immediate use instead of being tucked away on a case or backpack. Long photographic walks or hikes are now a pleasure instead of a chore. Camera are hels sucurely in place and have a safety strap to prevent accidental drops. View the adjusting instructions on the manufacurers website to make setup a breeze.

Excellent product

This is an excellent product backed by outstanding customer service. I bought mine two years ago and have used it extensively with a pro camera body and Canon 300mm 2.8 lens. It is easy to set up, and is comfortable through a full days hike up and down the peaks, even under a backpack. When the plastic mount on the harness broke I contacted Cotton Carrier on a Saturday and was told on Sunday I was fully covered. By Friday a brand new harness with additional goodies arrived from Canada at no cost! Buy it!

So far so good...

I primarily purchased this system to alleviate the dangling strap syndrome :)I shoot with dual Canon 7D's using side slings for sporting events. Unfortunately they swing back and forth and I still have to have my hands on them when moving around to avoid bumping my camera into things or people. The cotton carrier system addresses those issues. Now for the things that are inherent downfalls. You have to get the adjustments just right to be comfortable. It took me several attempts to get the velcro and strap adjustments to fit me. I feel there could be some room for improvement. Since both my 7D's have battery grips and I primarily use a EF 70-200 F/2.8 IS USM MkII on one body and a Sigma 150-500 DG OS APO HSM lens on the other... I have a lot of equipment weight on me. Just be aware that you will need to get accustomed to that weight in other areas. As for the possible improvements: 1. Where the two shoulder straps attach to the top of the front panel... it can use a strap horizontally connecting the two shoulder straps to keep it a tight fit across your collar bones. 2. The back portion of the harness can use a single belt that hangs down to attach to your pants belt to keep the back portion from rising up towards your neck when carrying a very heavy zoom. In general, very happy with the item. Both of the improvements above is something I can address with some innovations :) If you are not planning on using heavy lenses... then it will not be a problem. Great product, quality materials... and yes, my gear is far more secure!

About Cotton Carrier Vest System for 2 Cameras with Side Holster - Green

The Cotton Carrier Vest System is a unique chest harness system that supports 1 or 2 cameras eliminating the neck strain usually associated with shooting long jobs such as weddings, sports, public relations and photojournalism. The system is designed for the photographer who carries a DSLR with battery grip. The system comes complete with a camera tether that securely supports your camera and two hubs - one that tilts 15°s and the other that hangs straight. Use the one that suits your shooting style. The hub fits neatly into the 1/4 -20 tripod slot on your camera and then slips into the Lexan receptacle in the front of your vest. For additional stability, the built-in lens Stabilization Strap adds another measure of balance and support by holding the lens firmly against your body, preventing "swing".

First, use the buckles and touch fasteners on the vest to secure it around your body. Both the height and chest harness are fully adjustable. The camera tether then attaches to the vest by the use of a D-Ring. The unit's Split Ring attaches to the camera's strap lug and then to the other end of the tether. The entire unit is inter-connected and provides you with a comfortable and stable way to comfortably walk around while having your camera at the ready to shoot. You can also attach the harness as a standalone system when you attach it to, for example, your backpack strap. Just wrap the touch fastener around the strap and you're set to go. The system is backed by Cotton Carrier's limited lifetime warranty against defects.

The Side Holster from Cotton Carrier allows you to carry a second camera holster-style, leaving you hands-free for other activities like using your phone or texting until you are ready to shoot. The holster attaches to any belt, bag strap or the original Cotton Carrier Camera Vest. With the Cotton Carrier locking system, your camera is always secured and at the ready.

The Side Holster is an affordable upgrade to a traditional neck strap since its design helps eliminate all neck and shoulder pain while also preventing your camera from swinging about freely. It is designed for cameras that are not pro series or have a battery grip attached. You simply Insert your camera into the Side Holster at a 45 degree angle so that when it's in place and hanging, it is locked in securely. The included Safety Tether Cord prevents your camera from accidentally falling when it's removed from the Side Holster.
