The Cotton Carrier-Lite (Black) is designed to carry a regular SLR camera with a lens attached. It has a heavy-duty, padded waist belt with a 3-point buckle that fits a waist from 20-54". There is an adjustable shoulder strap that reduces the weight strain. A camera tether keeps the camera attached to the shoulder strap or the D-ring on the waist belt. It includes a removable side holster for mounting the camera. A sliding pad on the belt has a touch fastener receiver for an optional 2nd holster.

Comments about Cotton Carrier-Lite for Regular SLR Camera Body with Lens Attached:
This piece is one of the most comfortable ways to carry your camera that I have found. I added a water bottle holder and small strap-on bag to the belt around my waist opposite the side of the camera, it helps to balance the weight evenly and also provides me a place to hold essentials (phone, money, keys, lens cap, etc.). I was afraid that I would look dorky with all of these straps on me but instead I feel like a professional photographer. I find that I get more compliments and interested questions about it rather than laughs directed my way, which is always a plus! I would definitely recommend this to a friend, and even consider it a good gift option for someone who is into photography.

Comments about Cotton Carrier-Lite for Regular SLR Camera Body with Lens Attached:
I haven't used it a ton yet, but it seems really nice. I like having my hands free when not snapping pictures, but also having quick access when I want to shoot. The Cotton Carrier Lite functions just as advertised. My biggest concern was that I would feel like a dork wearing it. Instead, I feel like a serious photographer.

Comments about Cotton Carrier-Lite for Regular SLR Camera Body with Lens Attached:
Camera doesn't swing about. Hands are free to adjust lights or climb or whatever. Camera is always close to hand and there is no stress on the neck or back.
You can adjust this set-up over your coat, so it works in any weather.

Comments about Cotton Carrier-Lite for Regular SLR Camera Body with Lens Attached:
Since I had back surgery, the lightest backpack or even the camera strap hanging around my neck would cause me a lot of strain and pain. With the belt, the weight of the camera and lens is around the hips, and the hands are free while you're not shooting. I would like it even better if the shoulder strap switched sides. The way it is made, it only goes over the left shoulder.
But it is a great product, sturdy enough to stand a D700 with 70-200mm lens. If you use a battery grip, you need to buy a angled camera hub, otherwise the lenses will be too far off from your body and will start dangling.

Very good product. The cotton carrier went through a two day wedding, and it surprised me. My setup was one camera on neck strap, and one on my side on cotton carrier. I took off the shoulder strap, used only the waist "belt" with holster. Looks less bulky and intimidating at an event like a wedding. Having my hands free when I needed without trying to juggle to cameras was awesome. The quality of the carrier is superb. Strong, safe, low-key, and very comfortable. Higher quality than expected. I love it!

It's comfortable, light weight, not bulky, small, and you can add more to the belt if you wish. I added a Lowepro lens case, and might add a small Lowepro pouch for a spare battery and extra memory cards. I've purchased several camera bags, but this beats them all.

I love this carrier. I only took it out for two day trips but I can tell that this product is gonna go with me anywhere I take my camera.
One of my day trips was to Disneyland with a lot of people and a lot of rides and this carrier stood the challenge.
An absolute must for anyone that carries a camera.

When I'm carrying one camera at a sporting event or a wedding it's much better than a regular strap.
