Great harness for your back

Great harness for your sound bag and back! I do not go home at the end of a day on set with my back hurting. Aside from not being able to have the attachments i want on this harness, overall very good!

Save your back!

I upgraded to this harness from the Versa Flex HS1N, and it makes a massive difference. One-man-banding takes a toll on your body, and it was starting to wear on me. I just made it through a 16-hour shoot, and normally my lower back and heels would be screaming at me, but this harness reduced that to a calm conversation. The only con is that it takes a bit longer to get on and off, due to the straps partially obscuring access to the carabiners. Unless I know I have 10 minutes or so until the next shot, I'll just find a place to sit to relieve myself of the weight instead of taking it off. Overall, I would highly recommend this harness. Your body will thank you.

How does one measure for the correct spine length ...

How does one measure for the correct spine length for this harness?
Asked by: Timothy
The spine of this harness is 14.5''. This is size adjustable to fit many different sized people. When wearing the harness, you would want to adjust the size to where the audio bag is supported at your waist.
