Cotton Carrier Harness-1 Overview

Designed for active photographers, the CCS G3 Harness-1 from Cotton Carrier helps evenly distribute the weight of a camera with a long lens. This arrangement keeps your camera at the ready for making the most of spontaneous photographic opportunities. It keeps your hands free, protects equipment from grab-and-go theft, and reduces unwanted camera movement. Photographers will appreciate the one-size-fits-all approach with adjustable shoulder straps and a quick release waist belt.

Two stash pockets store memory cards or batteries and the large exterior pocket stores accessories. The CCS G3 Harness is constructed from Kodra synthetic canvas and anodized aluminum. It has a Twist & Lock camera mounting system and a vented back panel. Included with your harness are a hub with rubber washer, a camera hub mounting bolt and tether strap, an Allen key, and a rain cover.

Advantages
A quick-release waist belt with speed straps, two stash pockets for carrying extra memory cards or small items on the front, a large outside pocket on the back, and a touch-fastening lens hold-down strap work together for improved hands-free usage with greater mobility.
Twist & Lock Mount
The Twist & Lock camera mount system provides stability and security. One twist locks the camera in place, making it difficult for grab-and-go theft. It also stabilizes the camera so the wearer is free to move vigorously without excessive camera movement/banging.
Tripod Compatibility
The CCS G3 Camera Harness features a Twist & Lock mounting system. Included is an aluminum flat-hub which mounts onto all cameras with a 1/4"-20 tripod mounting socket. This hub also has its own 1/4"-20 tripod mount.
Optional Items - Sold Separately
Option 1: Add the Hand Strap for those times when you need a little extra stability.

Option 2: 10-Degree Angled Hub for a DSLR with a long lens.

Option 3: Universal Tripod Adapter Plate. This plate is compatible with most tripod heads on the market. It is cut to fit directly into any Arca-Swiss style head, and designed with enough adjustment holes to slide back and forth on the bottom of your camera to leave the battery door accessible.

Cotton Carrier Harness-1 Reviews

Best harness ever!

By Matthew
Rated 5 out of 5

I already had a black one, which my son stole from me. So, I got a camo one for myself! Now, none of the birds can see me! I love this harness. It is so comfortable to wear. I have some long lenses (600 and 800) and they are heavy and this harness helps me walk long distances without fatigue. I especially like the lens stabilizer strap that I recently discovered. It keeps the long lenses even more stable. Also, compared with the sling style straps, it holds the receiver for the hub vertical and is easier to use this way.

Nice product, Scrap Rain Cover

Product is well made. Like the design. Used it for a long day of shooting and walking on crowded and it performed well. The rain cover is bad. Please don't lower your standards and package a gimmick such as this with your product. It doesn't work it doesn't fit.

Will the harness fit over a kayak pfd?
Asked by: les
The honest answer is I don't know. The straps allow for a lot of adjustment but I guess it depends on your size and the size of your vest. I wear a W's large and my carrier will fit over a down vest, which of course is more compressible than a kayak vest. Hope this helps a little...

Will this fit a D500 with the Nikon 500mm PF lens, while riding my bike? Or will it hang down too low to be able to pedal?
Asked by: CIndy
The camera sits in the middle of your chest, and the lens is about 10" long, so it will depend on your height and the type of bicycle you are using.

I need back support. Does this harness provide that?
Asked by: Cathy
Technically no, but it would certainly be much better than using a heavy camera on a traditional strap around your neck or shoulder. This harness would take some strain off your back compared to most other camera carriers.
