BlackRapid Double Breathe Camera Harness, Trusted Design for One Or Two SLR, DSLR, Mirrorless Cameras

Both harnesses are well-made, and once properly adjusted for fit and camera access, they move with you like your shirt. The air vents in the padding of the Breathe are a big plus in hot weather. Normally, I'd have to hang the old harness over my car seat after a race, but the Breathe Double was almost completely dry after the first warm event I ran it in. It's a little thinner than the old rig, but the benefit is that it's still quite comfortable if you wear a backpack with the harness, as I do on occasion. You'll stay pretty cool as long as your pack has good airflow through the back padding (which most Lowepros do). The ability to separate the harness into two straps, which then becomes a BlackRapid Breathe Sport without the retaining strap, is a nice feature of this unit over the old unit. (I also own a Sport, so the retaining harness is useful, but not 100% necessary if you aren not highly active) Not every one will do that, but I have done it br>br>Only time will tell if it lasts as long as my old harness (which, by the way, didn't wear out; I washed and sold it), but if their other products are any indication, I don't see any issues.

After leaving my well-worn harness, I needed a new one. At a gig, I really enjoyed the previous one. Because of its good reputation, I went with a BlackRapid. The straps are as short as they can be, but they're still too long for my average 5'7" frame. One of the carabiners broke about an hour into my first use of it, and my DSLR fell 3 feet onto concrete. So, aside from the obvious issue, I'm not only bothered by the sizing issue, but also by how difficult it is to shoot vertically with this harness. This isn't an issue I've encountered with other harnesses. I find it difficult to lift my elbow high enough to shoot vertically with the BlackRapid - However, if I loosen the straps even more, my cameras will hang too low. This wouldn't be a problem if I could simply unplug the harness, but it's a multi-step process. a series of steps I'm sure it was designed to keep your cameras absolutely safe, but as previously stated, it didn't work out. The whole thing is extremely aggravating and far too costly in comparison to the problems encountered.

It takes a few moments to get used to, adjust the straps, and, of course, admire yourself in the mirror for spending the money on something that actually works. I'm a broad-shouldered, barrel-chested guy, and the rig works well for me. The straps can be adjusted to a wide range of lengths, making it a versatile piece of equipment. The shoulder pads distribute the weight of two cameras and lenses across the shoulders, making it less tiring than wearing a single strap. The straps' adjustable "stops" keep your camera within easy reach. While walking, you can rotate your camera to place the lenses in a more secure position. While there is still some lateral movement, front-to-back movement is significantly reduced, so while cameras swinging is still a concern, it is less of a concern with a light touch. I wore my harness over my equipment vest, which was very comfortable and didn't get tangled up in anything. br>br>The carabiners are secure because they have locking attachments and a guard. A security strap, screw-in attachment rings, and a storage pouch are included in the package. br>br>ADDITIONAL INFORMATION! br>br> I found a way to limit the cameras' lateral movement by passing the strap through carabiners on either side of my belt, locking the belt behind the carabiner, and then locking the front lock in front of the carabiner when the camera is not in use. The camera's lateral swing has been reduced significantly. Best of luck!.

Note: I'm overweight and female (read: I'm a woman). I am a woman with breasts). br>br>I've been using Black Rapid for a long time because I trust the product and it's extremely durable. It gives me the assurance that my pricey equipment will not be damaged. For this reason, I'll most likely continue to use it. br>br>Comfort, on the other hand, has never existed (for me). I'm around 300 pounds, and my breasts are quite large. For the most part, I was using a single camera strap, but it always seemed to ride up my next and get in the way. There is a stop on the strap that allows you to control where your camera goes on the strap in theory, but the strap simply slides, rendering the stop useless. Because there was no way to secure the underarm loop, it fell off during the first use. br>br>I purchased the double harness in order to photograph weddings. The good news is that it is much more comfortable to wear around my breasts than the single strap. On my shoulders, it feels great. It's much more manageable than the single strap. However, it still has a lot of room for improvement. It moves around a lot and gets in the way of my neck. I have to adjust it on a regular basis. By the end of a wedding, I want to drag this thing into a field, a la Office Space, and bash it with a baseball bat, just like those geeks did with their fax machines.
