OP/TECH USA Dual Harness (Regular)
The Op/Tech USA Dual Harness (Regular) (Black) is designed to comfortably and securely carry 2 cameras or binoculars for quick and easy access. It can also hold a lens pouch or other type of pouch instead of either the camera or binoculars. The U-shaped neoprene neck pad evenly distributes the weight of the gear while absorbing the shock of any movements. There is an adjustable back section to fit the harness comfortably. The removable sternum strap controls the width of the harness. It evenly balances the gear at the sides to eliminate interference between the two cameras.
The Dual Harness is easy to attach and fully adjustable with Op/Tech system connectors. One connector on each side stays firmly in place while the second one quickly glides along the strap to bring the camera to the proper shooting position. The interchangeable design enables converting from a dual to a single sling system or to quickly move a camera to another strap altogether. It keeps the camera stabilized and secured while viewing and grasping and it maintains the camera in the upright position, no stress is put on the camera, lens or shoe-mount flash units. The tripod mount is available to use for brackets and other adapters.

Carrying two cameras can be a difficult task.
Op/Tech's Dual Harness solves this issue in a effective manner without breaking the bank.
I'm no stranger to Op/Tech products. I use their neoprene camera straps and when I need a dual camera solution, I purchased their Reporter Dual camera strap. It works, but when you are carrying two pro sized cameras with battery grips, one with a 70-200mm and the other wide angle, switching from camera to camera took a little finesse, and at some point, the straps would get tangled. ...not to mention all that weight on your neck. Op/Tech's neoprene support system worked well at distributing the weight, but it was still on your neck. So, I needed to find another solution.
Their are some newcomers on the market with some pretty fancy designs and the price tags to go with it. So, when I found Op/Tech had a solution, I went for it.
Pros:
Comfortable. The weight is on the shoulders, not the neck.
Cameras on your hip. Straps long enough to allow camera to be pulled up to your face without issue.
Modular strap connectors. Easily go from the dual harness to a single Op/Tech neoprene strap in seconds.
Cons or Caveats:
Shoulder padding material is different from Op/Tech's neoprene straps. A little denser, does seem a little bit cheaper in quality. Op/Tech logo stamped into material, not the traditional white silkscreen. Cost savings?
When the cameras are at your hips, they have a tendency to swing. In tight situations, cameras can bang against desks, other people, especially little kids' heads. :) Maybe some type of retaining system (velcro) to attach to hip/belt.
With all things considered, I love the product and recommend it to anyone who needs carry two cameras.

I bought it hoping to center mount a single Hasselblad 503cw. Op/Tech tech support said that it would work for this application, but it does not. The design of the harness depends on the weight of two side mounted cameras to apply downward pressure to rear straps. I like and other Op/Tech products (such as the PRO-STRAP), but this one was a flop for me.[...]

Comments about OP/TECH USA Dual Harness (Regular):
Find the weight of the camera was much better distributed. Weight is over shoulders & back, not just the neck and one shoulder. Universal clips are
fast and easy to use and very versatile.Would highly recommend to product.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Dual Harness (Regular):
I have used it once so far at a wedding reception and it does what it says. With a camera, lens, flash bracket and a flash, I wouldn't have been able to carry them for 5 hours with the Canon strap alone. This really worked. I will definitely recommend this product to a friend.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Dual Harness (Regular):
I have had neck pain since I toured South Africa with my DSLR and long telephoto lens. I finally figured out that my camera strap was riding across my lower neck in the back and causing the problem (duh!). The dual harness transfers the pressure to both shoulders instead and may help me enjoy traveling again....
It is clumsier than a simple neck strap--and a bit more difficult to adjust, what with all the straps. But it is worth it!

Comments about OP/TECH USA Dual Harness (Regular):
I used this to shoot a wedding last weekend. It makes carrying two cameras way easier on the back. I like how I can unclip one when I don't need it, and I can unclip both when I sit down to eat. You do have to fiddle with it at a bit until you figure it out, but once you're good, you're good.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Dual Harness (Regular):
I normally go birding with both binoculars and a camera. Frequently the camera has a long lens. This product gave me the ability to deconflict the normal straps and hold both items at the ready. I have used it with the Nikon camera and 200-400mm zoom lens, which is not a light lens. I would certainly recommend it.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Dual Harness (Regular):
I did a lot of searching and this was the best camera harness set up I could find, and the price was nice too. It evenly distributes the weight across your shoulders so there is much less neck or back strain. As others have said, if you are wearing two cameras be careful of them swinging and banging into things, but most of the time I use it with just one camera.
Being the photographer for my motorcycle club, this harness allows me to wear my camera while riding my bike and I can take quick point-and-grab shots of other riders with my left hand while still being able to ride and control my own bike. That is a huge plus for me.
On the other hand, when I am doing event photography I sometimes use a monopod with a quick release attachment and I can still quickly attach and detach the camera onto the monopod without unhooking everything from the harness.
The snap connectors are compatible with the Op/Tech camera straps I already use so it's easy to go back to a single camera strap when you don't want to wear the harness.
If you are an active photographer - someone who likes to climb a tree or a mountain to get that perfect shot, this does let you have the use of both of your hands but you do have to be careful of your camera banging into things, as you would with any harness.
To be honest, if I'm not carrying a second camera or an extra lens I kind of like using the additional straps to hook the whole harness onto both sides of my belt for more stability, the same way a firearm shoulder holster would have belt loops for stability. I have made my own elastic belt loops for this purpose.
I really have nothing negative to say about the harness, it is comfortable, versatile, and makes you look more pro when you are wearing it. I would use it at a wedding without feeling under-dressed.

This dual harness is a great product for the price. I'm 6'2" 240lbs so I thought I would need the extra long size. After reading reviews I bought the regular size and I'm glad I did. The regular size fits perfect with plenty of room for adjustment.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Dual Harness (Regular):
I bought this product because I carry two cameras and wanted them readily available without risking dropping one. I also wanted to balance the weight to save myself from back pain. The harness works, but it limits your mobility with the cameras. Your range of motion is limited to the length you set the straps so you can't take one camera and hold it over your head. Also, if you don't want to carry both cameras, you have to take the harness straps off and put your single strap back on. Because I am only 5'5", I had to cut the straps to make them short enough and now they are fraying. Useful, but I will keep looking for something more flexible.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Dual Harness (Regular):
I would have given this harness a 5 star rating if it had some decent attachment method such as carabiner hooks or something like that. You don't leave anything hooked up to this contraption when you take it of, or put it on.
The way it is now, you have to spend a condiderable amount of time to fasten any device, be it a camera, a pair of binoculars, or both. An incredibly bad descision not to provide these hooks. I had to go out and by hooks seperately. I will NOT recommend this product until some kind of quick connect/diconnect is added to this harness.
Otherwise, I think it's a pretty good harness.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Dual Harness (Regular):
Great for photographers looking for a dual camera strap. I was sick of 2 camera straps sliding off my shoulders as I shot clients weddings and portraits. Can't beat the price, all the others in this class are close to $100. Straps get in the way of the view finder but easily can be moved, I'll take the extra second since this strap attaches to both sides of the camera where it was meant to be strapped vs. hanging from a small screw at the bottom. Chest strap sits high and out of the way for women ;)
