Camera Belt Harness for SLR/DSLR/Point-and-Shoot Review

Customer Ratings:

You get what you pay for but, so far, this hasn't proven to be worth using. It's flimsy and stiff but cheap.

Overall I've been pleased with this, though it has a few key drawbacks. Most prominently, while the plastic is good and thick, it seems brittle, so if anything does break, it'll probably break all at once, dumping your investment on the ground. I've swung this around a bit without incident, so it's certainly not an imminent danger, but the potential is there.

The other more present problem is that it's *really* wide. It's 4 1/4" wide by 4 1/2" long, and it's (understandably) stiff. That means that when it's on my hip which is where I want it the middle is pressed tightly against my hip while the sides stick out about an inch each. It's literally just a big flat plate pressed up against your skin and bone. I'm 6'2" and 158lbs, so pretty skinny. Maybe it would be more comfortable with a little more meat, but I don't know. It would be hard to make 4 1/4" of stiff plastic really comfortable.

As for the pros, it's wildly convenient! I love letting my camera swing at my hip. I can just reach down to stabilize it a little while I jog. It's got a fantastically-designed locking mechanism that keeps the camera securely in place until you push down (deliberately) against your hip to release it.

All in all, pretty cool. For this price, I'd certainly buy it again (though obviously not if the reason I was buying it again were because it broke!).

Best Deals for Camera Belt Harness for SLR/DSLR/Point-and-Shoot

It's probably the cheapest accessory you can buy for an SLR and you can not have to fuss with toting around a big camera. Unless you really enjoy toting around a huge bag or slinging your camera over your shoulder and then slamming the camera into anything you walk by, you need this.

I have a full sized SLR and a 28-150mm lens and I can just hook the whole thing on my belt and forget about it. The quick draw works great. When I'm at music festivals, boat parties or nightclubs I like to dance around as well and I can dance and the camera is safe and secure on my waist with no flopping around. You can hook you camera on your belt and then change lenses, do simple maintenance such as add accessories flash setups etc while having both hands free.

If you are an action photographer this is a must.

Honest reviews on Camera Belt Harness for SLR/DSLR/Point-and-Shoot

I got this for hiking to use with my single lens digital camera (Lumix) and took it out last weekend for a test run. I attached the harness to my lumbar pack strap. The screw on base took a bit of manuevering to get the direction of the item to my liking but didn't take long. At first I was cautious, fearing the clip wouldn't hold but after hiking for awhile, I was quite satisfied that my camera wasn't going anywhere. I love how easily the clip pops out for use (just press the base in and slide it up and out) but how securely it locks in place. My neck wasn't weighted down from the strap, nor was my camera banging around getting in the way. I should have gotten this months ago! Entirely pleased with the product and highly recommended!
