    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I use the tripod or quick release?

    The hardware has a tripod holed milled into it for tripod use. If you use quick release we recommend the Universal Tripod Adapter Plate or Universal Arca Swiss L-Bracket.

    Women's sizing

    The harness system is one size fits all with 6 points of adjustment. We get lots of positive feedback from woman photographers.

    Sizing for larger or smaller individuals

    The systems are one size fits all, spanning 26" to 57" inch waist measurements.

    Return Policy

    3 week no questions asked returns and 3 year technical warranty.

    Does the system work for large telephotos like a 600mm?

    The carrier will not fail under the weight of your camera/lens setup. A 600mm will place your weight forward and for some, it becomes a bit awkward. The system will not fail, but it becomes a subjective matter of comfort.

    Can I add another camera or binocular holster after?

    Yes, we offer a modular side holster with camera or binocular hardware. Or the individual hardware for camera or binoculars can be purchased independently.

    Can I put my camera into the binocular carrier's receiver? Or vice versa?

    All hardware uses the same twist and lock system, so you can place your camera or binoculars interchangeably in any receiver.

    NICE-BUT

    Great idea for stashing stuff and having it ready to grab. However, didn't fit my trip, but I did keep the dry bag.

    Works well but very broad

    This would suit full frame size lenses. I shoot MFT so the lenses are more compact.

    It is very wide but still fairly shallow. Works very well, however. It does have a draw string at the top to change the diameter, but taller items really need the dry bag that clips in to make me feel comfortable. This approach works well for a water bottle too!

    Excellent addition to the sling belt system.

    Why Not

    Well, here it is, the inevitable unwarranted 'leave a review' e-mail I received that I never solicited. A great way to get the 'ole ego pumped up, like my special opinion is super important because I bought something.

    Go me! I do get it; it's just marketing and goes along with all the clingy stuff that comes with buying something these day. I'm a professional 15 year full-time sports photographer, or was until this global pandemic sorts itself out. These days I'm not much of anything.

    I do like these products. They are very well made but expensive by about 20% and specific to a single use function because I often need to strap other stuff to my camera, like a tripod or monopod... so have to untangle and unscrew everything, which can be annoying.

    Doesn't work for e-bikes, so if it just works for hoofing around, fine.

    You will definitely look a little geeky sometimes, hanging gear all your body, like you are on a mission to be one of the best. Nat Geo here we come!

    But! So be it, we photographers do like to look cool. I use gear when I need it and it does come in handy to have well-made stuff. I'm just saying keep it all in perspective folks; we aren't models, this isn't Hollywood and the gear won't make you a better photographer.

    4/5 for quality and fast delivery; points are lost for price and for soliciting me to write this pointless review. 3/5.

    Useful but fiddly

    Active users are layering and unlayering so the belt should be easily adjustable.
    This isn't. It has to be taken off.
    Why not use a backpack type of belt?
