The black Double Sling from OP/TECH is for the photographer who needs access to two cameras in a hurry but does not want to have to stop, open his bag and take out the second camera. When time is of the essence and the shots are there, there's no time for fumbling around inside a bag trying to extract another machine. The Double Sling allows you to drape two cameras over your shoulders and have them at the ready.
The system hangs around your neck on a comfortable neoprene pad that distributes the weight of the two cameras quite evenly. You'll also find the balance is very good. And, if you ever want to use only one camera, there's no problem adjusting the strap accordingly.
Connection to the cameras is achieved via OP/TECH'S Uni-Loop Connectors that attach to the lugs of each camera. For the left camera, attach the Uni-Loop to the left lug while on the right you have a choice between using either the right lug or both if your camera offers you two lugs. Some cameras offer an additional connection area on the lower right side of the camera. In those cases, both Uni-Loop Connectors will be attached to the two side connection areas.
The Sling Adapter System used on the Double Sling can be removed and added to any other OP/TECH standard strap. This will create and over the shoulder sling strap. This flexibility of the Double Sling makes this a more-than-viable option to a traditional harness system.

Comments about OP/TECH USA Double Sling (Black):
I bought this double sling after looking at the Black Rapid double sling. I did not like the BR fastening to the tripod mount for several reasons, including the fact I would lose my tripod mount, but primarily because I do not think this is the proper place to carry a camera from as it is not designed for that. Plus, I could buy 4 of the OpTechs for the price of one Black Rapid, and I think the OpTech is more comfortable and quite a bit lighter. Another good point is that I can unbuckle the sling parts and use them individually on my OpTech Pro strap pads, making the standard Pro straps into 2 Pro Sling straps! A very cool thing in my opinion. My original OpTech Pro strap is over 30 years old and still works as good as it did when I bought it, a testament to their build quality when you know how much I have put them through!
