Questions & Answers

Rich S : What is included? The page does not list. If the top-load camera bag is not included, how much is that?:JAMES T : This is just the harness that fits most of the Loewpro toploader bags.SUE J L : It only includes the harness..i havent used mine if u would like to purchase mine..email me at suejlin@yahoo BRIAN H : When I purchase the chest harness it was a separate purchase from the topload bag. The harness was $9.99 and I believe the topload bag was about $30 or $40. My topload bag will hold my Canon Xsi with a 55-250 zoom lens. I use the chest harness and my topload bag to carry my camera when I'm hiking and it really works great. Because of the way the harnes is made it is real easy to put on and there is no weight on my neck, all the weight is on my shoulders. I highly recommend the chest harness and the topload bag.WILLIAM R H : It is just the harness. You can attach it to any camera bag with at least two top D rings. It is best with a bag that has two D rings on top and two at the bottom to better distribute the weight, but you could attach all four snaps to the top two D rings if need be. Lowepro sells a number of different Top Load bags, depending on what length lense you carry most. I bought the Lowepro Toploader Pro 65 AW Camera Bag as I mostly carry a 200mm lense. lots of room in the bottom of the bag for extras. Works great for me.WILLIAM M : No, you have to select the top-load bag of your choice. It only comes with one strap, I believe, not this chest harness.SUSAN F : No, the bag was not included. I believe we paid about $23 for the bag at our local Camera store. My son is in Mexico so I can't ask him to be 100% sure. Hope this helps though.DAN O : You just get the harness. But I use it with one of the LowePro bags, and it's great. I'm a guide in Alaska and this bag/harness set ups is sweet and, more importantly, affordable. I think I paid $50 for the bag and $10 for the harness. Good luck.IGOR Z : Only the harness is included. Top-load bags come in different sizes - be sure to check which one fits your camera the best.DIANNA M : The camera case was not included, you would only buying the strap system.Phillip T : It's just the harness. You still need to buy a Lowepro Toploader bag. I love mine. I use it for hiking and cycling. Almost never use the shoulder strap that was standard with the bag.
Shopper : hi there, is this product compatible with the lowepro toploader pro 75 aw?JAMES T : Yes, it will fit.ZACHARY W : Yes, William R H's answer is spot on. You can use this to convert just about any shoulder bag, so long as the strap is attached with d ring of some sort. I use this with the 50aw as well but it will absolutely work with the 75 as well.BRIAN H : After doing a little research I have found that the chest harness is compatible with the Toploader Pro 75 AW. I own the Toploader Pro 50 AW and the chest harness and find it a great way to carry my DSLR when I'm hiking. BMHSUE J L : Hi i used it w the pro 65 aw...but should be compatible w the 75 Thanks SueWILLIAM R H : Yes. All you on any bag is two D-rings and you can use the harness clips on them (two on each ring). If the bag has D rings top and bottom, that works too. I have the 50aw and I can use the harness with the bag facing either direction...when it is raining I like the top flap facing me, in the sun I turn the bag 180 degrees. Straps are comfortableand can go on top or under clothes/coats as the clips are easy to access to remove bag if you don't want to pull the harness off. the more I use this harness set up, the more I like it.SUSAN F : I' not totally sure about the question. I don't know what the pro 75 aw means, but we have the Lowepro ToploaderZoom 50 AW bag and it worked fine. My son used it for hiking in NM at the Boy Scout Philmont Ranch Reservation for a 12 day hike.RUI HUANG V : Yes,It's compatible.WILLIAM M : I have the Topload TLZ AW. I think its about the same. The Chest Harness fits fine, and works well. Note that my original chest harness had 4 plastic snaps. and over time 3 of 4 broke. So I replaced it. The new one has two metal snaps, and two plastic snaps, so I'm a little dubious. It's the only thing out there, and it works. So I'll try to take good care of it.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?KEVIN R : Great price! Will be very handy with my 3 toploaders. Come on summer!CHERRY L. C : For more comfort.William G : good for skiingJeff B : Hands-free support of large camera lens combo. Keeps the gear in front for fast access. More accessible than keeping in a backpack.

Works Great

It works great with my Toploader and it makes carrying the camera much more comfortable than using a padded neck strap. I originally tried using the Tamrac harness, but it was more difficult to use. I much prefer the hooks of this one for attaching to the camera bag.

Exactly what I needed!

For my porposes this was exactly what I needed. I have a Lowepro top loader that I take camping and hiking, but it has always been a pain to carry with a pack on. So while I imagine the lack of strap padding may be a detractor, for me it was ideal. I can easily wear my camera where I have access to it and the straps fit under my pack harness without any extra bulk or rubbing, which is a huge plus. Then I can also carry it while day hiking from base camp. The main support clips are solid metal but the lower ones are plastic, this gives me some concern about long term durability for my use case but I have to say I didn't have any problems on a 1 week winter backpacking trip in the Presidential mountain range. In addition to the easy access, having my camera centered on my front kept it from getting caught up with my trekking poles while snowshoeing, the only draw back of this position is that there is a little added effort when I needed to ventilate and manage my temperature. But it was still easy enough that I think I have a go to setup for mountain photography. The straps have plenty of length too, which is great for fitting over down jackets and layers or if you're on the portly side. I'd expect this to fit most people well.

Best access to gear for active use.

A body and lens like a 70-200mm f2.8 can be a heavy load for extended outings. I prefer to have my camera close at hand rather than inside my backpack. But carrying it on a typical shoulder strap in impractical when hiking over rough terrain. This lets me keep the camera in a bag tightly against my body without it swinging or hitting me or the ground while climbing. Keeping the camera inside the bag protects it from me and me from it. Having the weight in front balances out with other gear in my backpack. I use this harness with both my small 50AW and larger 75AW zoom bags.

This is my second!!

I like this rig with my top loader for hiking and snow skiing. It gives me quick easy access, to be both handy and quick protection from the elements.

Great Harness

It took a little while to get the straps adjusted to my body size. I got this so I can go hiking and have my camera in front of me at the ready. I didn't want to have my camera hanging around my neck or have it in my backpack. It distributes the weight evenly and keeps the camera holster secure to your body.

Great accessory for your Lowepro Pro Toploaders!

On a recent hiking adventure out in the Guadalupe Mountains of West Texas, I hiked with my Lowepro Toploader Pro 75 AW. I have a Camelbak on my back so I can’t hike with my Lowepro backpacks/slings. So this Lowepro Chest Harness is awesome for it allows me to hike with my D800 and 24-70 in a Toploader, mounted to my chest. That allows me to keep my Camelbak on my back, hydration flowing, and hands free for trecking poles. Love it. Comfortable, yes.

Works Great for My Purposes

I'm using the toploader and harness mainly while day hiking and for this it works great. My regular backpack straps over top of the harness and keeps it firmly in place, and my camera is always protected yet readily accessible. When used by itself, the camera bag may jostle around a bit if you are moving fast or clambering over and around obstacles, but I haven't tried to use it this way.

Great for Hiking and Skiing

Secure, sturdy, and comfortable. It takes some practice to get arms and head into the right holes in the right order, and then I forget and have to relearn, but that's just me!

Good for Hiking and Hands free

The strap is essential for hiking, it allows you to put the bag on your chest which gives you the ability to get your camera out and put it back without having to take off your backpack. A sholder strap just doesn't work because then your bag gets in the way. Its great that lowepro offers this for their topload series.

Chest Harness

I live in Alaska and do a lot of winter hiking in the mountains. I always have a camera around my neck. Due to the steep climbs I decided I needed to use a chest harness system and top load bag to hold my camera and telephoto lens. This system is simple and well built. It has worked better than i thought it would. The only thing that could be a problem is that it has limited expansion. I am 6 foot tall and weigh about 195 pounds, and I have a 44 inch chest. Fully extended, this harness just barely fits my chest when I am wearing a winter sweater. I don't think it would fit over a thick coat. If you are much larger than I am, it may not fit you.

I enjoyed it !!

used this to carry camera at Philmont Scout Reservation for 12 days!!!! Was glad I bought it as I already had a 50 lb. pack on my back. Needed the front harness to have camera available.

Works for Me

I got it for local hiking and it serves me perfectly. It is light, durable and holds my Nikon D90 and d7000 with a 70-300 lens. It would be nice to have one more pocket, but that is not really a problem

Pretty Good, for the cost.

The harness works well for keeping your gear right up front where you can get to it. For casual trail walking, it is great. It keeps everything you need right in front of you. If you go "Cross Country" or off trail where there is a lot of scrambling around boulders, streams or tallus fields, it gets "sloppy", meaning that it doesn't hold tightly against the body and the holster pack bounces around and sometimes gets in the way. Overall, it is a great pack for day hiking in to a fabulous landscape or meadow for wildlife shooting. For intense class 4 or easy class 5 hiking and climbing, it can be bothersome and insecure.
