The regular Money Maker Two-Camera Harness by HoldFast Gear is made of chestnut English Bridle leather and holds two cameras comfortably at your hips. The straps of the harness lie in an "X" pattern across your back for added support. The Speed Clutch mechanism allows the camera to slide along the harness to eye level easily.
To secure your gear to the harness, the system includes two Camera Holdfast Accessory Clips that screw into the 1/4-20" tripod threads of each camera or lens. There are also two metal D-rings on the front of each strap, and two on the back, that allow you to attach optional camera straps and accessories, such as an HF Luggage Tag Wallet or extra Camera Leashes. If you attach optional Camera Leashes to the front D-rings, you can comfortably secure a third camera to the harness.
The regular size Money Maker provides the best fit for people between 5'8" and 6'2" in height. The Money Maker Two-Camera Harness is made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects.

Comments about Holdfast Gear Money Maker Two-Camera Harness (English Bridle, Chestnut, Regular):
I've only used it once so far, but it's a very comfortable way to carry around two cameras while walking/hiking. The only downside is that if you have a lens that is susceptible to lens creep, that may be a problem. My 70-300 was creeping out on my D300 while I was hiking with it.

Comments about Holdfast Gear Money Maker Two-Camera Harness (English Bridle, Chestnut, Regular):
I like to keep things simple when I shoot. The MoneyMaker allows me to easily and comfortably carry two bodies all day without fatigue. I'm not a big fan of tactical-looking nylon gear; my MoneyMaker is classy and discrete and cool. I love it!

Comments about Holdfast Gear Money Maker Two-Camera Harness (English Bridle, Chestnut, Regular):
HoldFast makes the best camera strap I've ever used – hands down. I've used a bunch, but not because I like collecting straps; more because I've been trying for a long time to find a strap that doesn't make my back ache at the end of the day. I thought I found a strap that would serve me well in the long run when I picked up a couple of Black Rapid straps, but after a week with the BR flung across my shoulders, my back was sore again. The main problem for me is that I need at least two lenses when I'm out running around; the Money Maker solves that, by allowing me to carry two cameras in a fluid manner that actually helps me get along with my work. This piece of kit serves me VERY well in two specific situations; when I shoot weddings, I put a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens on one body, and an 85mm f/1.4 on the other. I don't have to change lenses (unless I'm shooting something really specific) or mess around with a painfully heavy sidebag or a cumbersome backpack. Pure bliss.
When I am doing general travel work, just wandering about a town, I'll carry two bodies, and the 85mm and a 35mm f/1.4 with me. The weight is always distributed across my back and shoulders evenly, so I don't get pulled down to one side all day (my biggist complaint with even the best side bags). The Money Maker also looks amazing, and is crafted from incredibly high-quality leather. I get asked about it each and every time I put it on, and I'm more than happy to rave about HoldFast.
Obviously there are cases where I need to be able to carry more equipment, but I'd say I am out with this strap on more than 70% of the time - which has made my body very, very happy over the last year.
A few notes.
- I was worried at first that the cameras would slide too much on the strap. They don't even, when I crouch down to shoot with one, and allow the other to swing free. They stay pretty close to my body (within reason, of course) at all times.
- I have an attachment to clip a third camera to the front of the unit. I don't use it often, but it comes in handy when I need to clip a small lens/filter/misc. pouch to my kit.
- The MM works great when you're only using one camera too, and I've found that it's handy for clipping all manner of equipment into that second spot; my tripod, lens pouch, light stand, etc. Really handy.

Comments about Holdfast Gear Money Maker Two-Camera Harness (English Bridle, Chestnut, Regular):
I am a "semi-professional" photographer. By that I work a normal job and get photography jobs randomly. One of my regularly scheduled events is a conference 3 times a year that requires me to move around a large arena quickly, with heavier lenses, but without distracting the audience if at all possible. For years I strapped on two cameras with their own straps and it was just incredibly difficulty and strenuous on my neck. A year ago I started using the Money Maker by Holdfast gear and the difference was night and day. I can carry two cameras for 3-4 hours at a time and never feel fatigued. As well, I usually have a monopod on one of my lenses and the cameras hang where it doesn't bang around or hit others. As a female photographer, I can't imagine doing multi-camera shoots without it.

I have yet to use a better product to carry DSLR camera rigs for photo and video. I bring my gear all around the world in different environments that require unique set-ups for both photography and video - and often both. The money make allows me to be flexible with one or two cameras and a variety of accessories. If that wasn't enough... I love the way it feels. Not just the comfort but the style. I've received so many compliments. It's a game changer. It's discrete, and yet it's classy and so it attracts the attention of people. Never a bad thing when you want to make a lasting impression. Gear matters and this is one vital piece to my arsenal. Love this company!

I am female photographer and there are NO dual camera straps that work for ladies except the one and only MoneyMaker! I've used it for weddings, portraits, travel too and I get compliments everywhere I go with it too. Super comfy and I don't look stupid wearing it :) It actually looks really cool.

Comments about Holdfast Gear Money Maker Two-Camera Harness (English Bridle, Chestnut, Regular):
I have had my money maker for a few months now and I'm beginning to wonder how I ever shot before owning it! I love how simple it is to use and how it makes shooting so much easier.
I simply choose the 2 camera bodies I want, screw in the hold fast screw to the bottom of each then connect each to either side of the money maker straps.
My camera's are secure and tight and I'm able to easily grab to my right or to my left camera, depending on what look I'm going for!
I love that the straps are made of real leather, it adds to the quality and feel of the product and I highly recommend it to anyone who shoots!

Great use for any photographer using a 2 or more camera system. Even if you are only using one camera, you can clip a light meter to the other strap.There are plastic straps out there but they look cheap with the black nylon. I love this system because it fits my brand and style so much better than anything else on the market. My camera's feel very secure, even using my Mamiya RZ67 and Contax 645. This system looks great straight from the packaging and will continue to get better with age. It looks like there was a lot of thought put in to designing this system. The MoneyMaker is worth the money and then some.

Very solid build, stable and bring you out of crowd. It may not look secure as Rapid systems, but it's does work well in even very crowd concerts. Using with two Canon 5d's (mk3 and mk2). With 70-200 and 16-35 (or 35/50) (usually). Little bit on spending side compare to similar products.
