Camera Harness

[randrew1]

<p>I'm looking for a good camera harness to use with a DSLR while hiking. I used to have one that filled the bill. It is shown in the attached picture. It didn't survive the move to a new house. I have since acquired a "Keyhole" harness from <a href="http://www.backcountrysolutions.com/">http://www.backcountrysolutions.com/</a> that works well with my backback. I would like to find something like my previous harness that didn't require a backpack. I've bee searching Google without much luck. </p>

<p>Any suggestions?</p><div></div>

<p>In the last millennium, such a beast was known as a Kuban hitch. Googling that, I get a thread here in p.n from 2000 that mentions Optech:<br>

<p>Take a look at the <a href="http://www.blackrapid.com/product/mods/joey-j1/">Blackrapids products.</a></p>

<p>You can see <a href="http://www.blackrapid.com/setup-and-tips/">videos here.</a></p>

<p>With the "BRAD" or the "JOEY" mods you maybe able to come up with what you like. I am sold on the RS-7.</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>Another idea: simply use a second camera strap around your waist/back...maybe modify the clips so you can detach it and, with a small tether, it'll be there for reattachment after the shot. Cheap and simple.</p>

<p>It might be a bit much for hiking, but several of my friends have <a href="http://www.cottoncarrier.com/">Cotton Carriers</a> and really like them.</p>
