Cotton Carrier Harness-1 Overview

From Manufacturer

Designed for active photographers, the CCS G3 Harness-1 from Cotton Carrier helps evenly distribute the weight of a DSLR or mirrorless 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

Nice Harness

Rated 5 out of 5

This is a lightweight and well made harness. The camera is not rigidly mounted in the harness; it moves a little with your body as you hike. The motion matches your body movement and feels natural. The harness has many adjustment points and should work well for most people. My first use was hiking in somewhat rocky terrain with mild elevation changes. The harness allowed me to use my hiking poles. My gear was 4 about pounds total: Micro Four Thirds body with 300 mm F4.0 - perfect for capturing birds.

Perfect!

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.

Can this be worn under a backpack?

Can this be worn under a backpack?
Asked by: Edwin
Yes, it could be. Please note that it will likely be putting weight in just about the same area as the straps to your backpack will. So, you may alternatively wish to consider mounting your camera to the backpack strap, for example with a Capture Clip (B&H# PECPBK3): https://bhpho.to/37P3pvd
