I really love this sling harness! The way the camera locks in place and doesn't move gives me such a secure feeling. My camera is my $$ baby, and all mothers want their $$ babies to be safe. lol
One con is how it fits me. I'm a fluffy gal, and have a large chest-the sling hits me down in the valley of my mountain range, placing emphasis on the peaks. This makes me feel self conscious, but I will say the straps are nicely adjustable to make it set more comfortably.
I have hiked with it, the camera does not get in the way at all. It feels nice to walk & freely move about without holding your camera over your shoulder or around your neck using the camera strap.
I read a lot of reviews before I bought mine, and many of them mentioned the locking mechanism & how it took them some time to get used to. For me, that was not an issue at all. I found it to be simple, both with the installation & use with the harness.
Overall, this is a wonderful sling harness. I would highly recommend purchasing. Its evident that its high quality and durable.

Comfortable, no bounce camera harness for heavy cameras
This is a great way to carry a heavy camera while hiking or for long periods of time. I have a Nikon P1000 which weighs about 3 pounds, and carrying it with a normal around-the-neck camera straps was difficult. I would always end up holding the camera with one hand to take some of the weight off my neck, which made hiking with it awkward. I also worried about the camera bouncing and possibly getting damaged. This sling harness works great. It took a little while to get used to sliding the camera in and out, but once I got used to it, it became second nature. This is a much more comfortable and secure way to carry a camera on a hike or a long day of sight-seeing. The straps adjust to hold the camera snuggly against your chest, so there is no bounce. I wouldn’t say I forgot I was wearing it, but it was comfortable, didn’t hurt my neck, and left my hands free for a hiking pole or to grab onto rocks as I scrambled up a trail.

Ideal for the larger camera and lens set up

The product itself is really well made, but most importantly it fits well and it’s really comfortable carrying the above set up. Far more comfortable than he expected to be fair. It spreads the load well, and the camera felt really secure; the twist and lock feature is really effective. By reversing the lens hood, the rain cover fits well and easily covers the camera and lens. It is easy to remove and replace the camera, although there’s a slight knack as the harness moves slightly when removing the camera. This was purchased specifically for this larger lens set up but I’m sure it works well for smaller lens. The collar is fitted with an Allen key, but this is easily stored in the zipped pocket provided, so you’ll never be without it.
I was fortunate enough to purchase this from Amazon as a return, classed as “as new”, for less than £50. But to be honest its still recommended at full price.

Mi opinión y unos cuantos Tips o consejos
Reviewed in Spain on October 3, 2020

Contras: Money, y claro, condicionarte al enganche de seguridad que lleva (igualmente la idea es que durante la sesión o escapada, no te quitarás el arnés.
Tips o consejos: Había leído que con una cámara ligera no llegaba a mantenerse en la posición correcta cuando se engancha, y la realidad que como el manual de instrucciones es más bien escaso (tampoco es que sea una obra de ingeniería) me pasó exactamente lo mismo. Cuando me lo colocaba tendía a moverse, y no quedaba completamente anclado. Pensé que sería por ser un equipo poco pesado (Mirrorless), pero nada que ver. Es el eje, hay q buscar el punto de equilibrio (yo claro..pensando seguir al pie de la letra lo que ponia lo atornillé tal cual vi en la foto) pero no es así, hay que buscar que quede correctamente colocado, para no enrollarme más ver las fotos y como se apoya correctamente, y luego no se desequilibra llevandolo enganchado).
El otro tip es como coloques el enganche, siempre me ha dado mal rollo llevar un equipo de más de 2000€ y pensar que sin querer, en un momento aprietes el boton de desenganchar, y chof, camara al suelo. Consiste en que juegues como se engancha, dado que hay una opción en la que se anula el presionar el boton, y hay que hacerlo desde dentro. (ya hay que meter el dedo a conciencia) . Supongo que no es casual, pero no está de más decirlo.
Y con esto, y mira que me he enrollado, LO RECOMIENDO 100%, no digo que haya que tirar el dinero, porque cuesta ganarlo, pero en este tipo de Gadgets tan necesarios ahorrar 30 euros, cuando la cámara vale 1000€ es... como poco para replantearlo (y más que hablamos de la seguridad de la misma) y tu comodidad durante horas y horas.
Primer comentario/valoración despues de días y días de uso.
