One of the best gear buys for me!
This product has made things for me a lot easier, with two bodies securely strapped I've been able to eliminate excess weight like my gear bag. Now the only additional things I carry is a pouch for diffusers/filters/baterries/CF cards and an extra lens pouch. I now only use my grear bag for securing and storing during transport. I shoot a lot nightlife, concert, festivals & press oriented stuff and now don't miss a shot fumbling or worse dropping lenses in a hurry to swap them out.
The only drawbacks I see for the price it would be nice if you can split it apart to only use one. Then again everything for photogs is ridiculously priced like plastic hoods and Tupperware (diffusers). I have a single one as well and am very happy with it. I just wish I could replace the rubber bushing that got lost and one of the little rings for the chest part. If the right strap cam along I'd use that for my Olympus PEN.
I've tried the strap buddy and it's garbage. It gets loose,luckily I've had the body in hand when that's happened so the shock absorbers pay for themselves in that area and don't get loose via constant motion. this is sturdy and well built. I've seen other like products and knock off that I was tempted to buy but am glad I didn't, if they fail and cheap products do so very often you're out two bodies & lenses. My clients think I look like a warrior ready for battle, I am.

A must have for the sports photographer
This is my second season as a high school sports photographer I alway carry two cameras with me one with a tele lens an the other with a wide angle lens, this product slips over head and rest on your shoulders relieving stress on your neck, the slings protect from dropping your cameras, wonderful product.
