 As good as any other December 31, 2008
I did quite a bit of research on this type of product. Various binocular harnesses from different brands such as Nikon, Field and Stream, Leupold, REI and others. I came to the conclusion that they are all essentially the same product, barring the name on the little leather patch that ends up on your back. My advice is to find the least expensive one and get it. Unless it is important to have the "Leupold" name on your back, you are wasting your money.
The harness does what it claims. I use it when hunting and I bust through quite a bit of brush. The binocs stay put until you need them, and then they are easily accessed. Definitely worth getting, provided you don't spend more than 20 bucks on them.
I like it, but I wish it was a bit more compatable with the others December 25, 2008
I bought this and the Op/Tech Pro strap system at the same time. I was hoping the two would be interchangable with the the quick release, but they are not. The harness works well on its own - it is comfortable and easy to adjust. It is also well balanced and to be honest, there are times I forget my Nikon is even there. This harness is a great way to carry a camera all day (such as a place like Disney World/Land....). It is much better than a conventional strap in that regard, but it does not replace the need for a strap.
This is why I did not give it 5 stars - the harness works well as a harness, but it should be interchangeable with the Op/Tech system connects. So bacically, I have to unloop the two pieces for the strap to the camera and loop on the two pieces that go with the harness. But granted, it only takes 5 minutes and then I am set for the day, but I was hoping with quick disconnects there would be no reason to fool with the pieces that loop on the camera.
Good Product October 28, 2008
Great product that saves me a lot of sore necks and headaches. Definately reccommend it to anyone using a heavy SLR camera.
Better than a strap October 27, 2008
I'm new to DLSRs, so I don't really have much experience with a strap. What little experience I do have is that I find them uncomfortable and constantly worry about the camera swinging into things. I kept my prosumer camera in a case on my belt, so didn't use a strap at all.
This harness is a little tricky to get on (but only a few seconds worth, really), but it holds my camera much more securely and comfortably. I wouldn't say it's "tight" against my body, but it doesn't swing around much. I debated between the elastic and the webbing one, and am glad I got the elastic one. I'm a little over 6' tall with a fairly long neck, and the elastic one allows me to be able to get the camera up to shooting position without unlatching it, as well as pull it down far enough to see the LCD screen with my over 40 year old eyes.
 Perfect September 30, 2008
I'd purchased a similar binoculars harness from Cabela's and wasn't happy with it. The Cabela's product had fixed connections between the harness and the binoculars. On this unit, the connection point slides. A much better solution, on my other unit it's difficult to adjust the strap lengths so that it doesn't feel like you have to tug the unit up to your eyes. On this unit, the binoculars slide right into place.
The other nice thing about this unit is the price. If you look, you can buy the same product with a brand name, Ziess, Nikon, Audoban, Steiner, etc...but you pay more! Without the brand name you get the same product and a very low price. I'm totally satisfied and plan on buying another one for my camera!
