The Kinesis H717-J X-Harness is designed to hold a heavy DSLR with an attached lens, like a large f/2.8 zoom, close to the chest without swinging or swaying. A pair of high-density polyethylene staves at the front of the harness and an "x-style" crisscross rear design transfers loads away from the neck and shoulder for increased comfort—especially if you're wearing it all day on a wedding shoot or out on the trail for outdoor photography.
The harness has a smooth-coated 400-Denier nylon exterior for comfort and durability, and wide straps with closed-cell foam padding on critical areas ensure comfort under heavy loads. Though designed to function independently, the X-Harness can be used to provide additional stability to a padded Kinesis belt by attaching it to the harness with an optional suspender adapter.
This kit includes the basic X-Harness, a pair of H436 Harness to Kinesis Camera Straps, and a Kinesis H675 PJ (Photojournalist) Camera Strap. The H675 includes a pair of buckles which permanently attach to your DSLR. This way you can quickly switch back and forth between a regular neck strap or the H675 and X-Harness by simply unclicking two quick release buckles. Also included is a sway-free strap that helps keep a camera or holster from swinging excessively when attached to the harness.
