Clik Elite Telephoto SLR Chest Carrier (12.6 x 7.5 x 6", Black)

Comments about Clik Elite Telephoto SLR Chest Carrier (12.6 x 7.5 x 6", Black):

I recently took this case on a trip up the west cost of Greenland. Just before reaching Ilulissat it started to drizzle. I hiked 8 hours in a constant drizzle and when I set up camp the case was completely dry. The rain flap worked great. I was able to keep my Canon 5dm3 with a 100-400 zoom lens. It fits with no room to spare. I had a wider angle lens I kept in my jacket pocket. The pack was comfortable but is big and sticks out. My only complaint was that it didn't sit close to my chest and continued to swing out and slide down. The design is that the upper part is away from your chest and then halfway down the material starts angling towards your stirnum and then it continues downward along your stomack. This would be great if I had superman's chest and a six pack stomack. I think the reality is they could have just had the side facing the body flat! The advantage was that I was able to easily reach my camera when I needed to. The chest pack also alowed me to freely use my poles for hiking. I also used it for some side trips up mountains and ridges and it worked well. One thing that I didn't count on is how hard it is to see your feet. I found this a problem especially going downhill on loose rocky terrain. A few times I would have to push the case to one side so I could see where I was stepping. It exactly worked for what I needed and saved me hand carrying my camera or putting it in my pack which was difficult to access. A good case that works well for what it was designed to do. I would not recommend this for a day hike without a backpack. A camera backpack would be much more functional and convenient for day hikes.

This is the product I have been looking for to carry my heavy camera with the heavy lens. It is sharing the weight on my both shoulders. It is easy to put back and retrieve the camera. Great product.

Other than the fact that my kids make fun of me because it looks like a baby carrier, it is an excellent design. Build quality seems to be excellent as well. Most importantly, it is doing s great job of keeping the weight, albeit less, off of my back. I am looking forward to trying it out on some running treks...If there is any improvements to be made, I could see slightly more room in the top zippered pocket for a blower brush.

Integrates well with Clik Elite Backpack (Pro Express). Only wish it had extra harness adapters to mate with other devices like a belt clip.

Weather resistant zippers good but not great, like LP's AW zips.

Padding is lighter than LP AW bags, but less weight as well.

Fits 7D with 70-200 2.8 IS II with hood reversed snugly. Sigma 50-500 fit tightly as well.
