The black Camera Vest for All Camera Types from Cotton Carrier is a unique chest harness system that supports 1 or 2 cameras eliminating the neck strain usually associated with shooting long jobs such as weddings, sports, public relations and photojournalism. The system is designed for the photographer who carries a DSLR with battery grip. The system comes complete with a camera tether that securely supports your camera and two hubs - one that tilts 15°s and the other that hangs straight. Use the one that suits your shooting style. The hub fits neatly into the 1/4 -20 tripod slot on your camera and then slips into the Lexan receptacle in the front of your vest. For additional stability, the built-in lens Stabilization Strap adds another measure of balance and support by holding the lens firmly against your body, preventing "swing".
First, use the buckles and touch fasteners on the vest to secure it around your body. Both the height and chest harness are fully adjustable. The camera tether then attaches to the vest by the use of a D-Ring. The unit's Split Ring attaches to the camera's strap lug and then to the other end of the tether. The entire unit is inter-connected and provides you with a comfortable and stable way to comfortably walk around while having your camera at the ready to shoot. You can also attach the harness as a standalone system when you attach it to, for example, your backpack strap. Just wrap the touch fastener around the strap and you're set to go. The system is backed by Cotton Carrier's limited lifetime warranty against defects.
The Side Holster from Cotton Carrier allows you to carry a second camera holster-style, leaving you hands-free for other activities like using your phone or texting until you are ready to shoot. The holster attaches to any belt, bag strap or the original Cotton Carrier Camera Vest. With the Cotton Carrier locking system, your camera is always secured and at the ready.
The Side Holster is an affordable upgrade to a traditional neck strap since its design helps eliminate all neck and shoulder pain while also preventing your camera from swinging about freely. It is designed for cameras that are not pro series or have a battery grip attached. You simply Insert your camera into the Side Holster at a 45 degree angle so that when it's in place and hanging, it is locked in securely. The included Safety Tether Cord prevents your camera from accidentally falling when it's removed from the Side Holster.

Comments about Cotton Carrier Camera Vest for All Camera Types with Side Holster (Black):
I am a wedding photographer and was using the black rapid 2 camera harness. That was until I found the cotton carrier. It takes a bit of time to set up but once you get it right it is an excellent tool for the 2 camera shooter. Your free to move as you please without the worry of one of your cameras smashing into something. It is a great design and comfortable to wear.

Comments about Cotton Carrier Camera Vest for All Camera Types with Side Holster (Black):
As a camera carry system is terrific. I can haul my heavy Nikon all day with no back strain. The attachment system is quick and easy to use. There were two flaws I have been able to fix with stuff from other vendors. The lens bag is bulky and not fully integrated as an option. A trip to the camera store fixed that and I personally wanted broader more padded shoulder straps. A trip to a good camping store fixed that. Both I consider minor when compared to how well it works.

Comments about Cotton Carrier Camera Vest for All Camera Types with Side Holster (Black):
I have had a variety of camera straps and they all ended up hurting my neck and making my back ache. I carry two cameras - one with a 70 to 200 + extender and one with a heavy portrait lens. With the cotton carriers I have NO pain. I am in my late 50's and not buff to say the least and am so impressed with this product that I welcomed the chance to spread the word. Marguerite
