Carrying to cameras

Mikespirito

I'm a wedding photographer. I use the double strap from black rapid to carry my cameras. Truth is I look absolutely ridiculous. What way do you carry cameras?

I shot a wedding reception last July (2011) and I used 3 - cameras with flashes, all hanging with Op/Tech fixtures.

2 bodies were on an Op/Tech "Dual Harness" and one body on an Op/Tech "Pro Strap, 3/8". (I used a Canon 1D MKII, a 5D MKII and a 40D. All of the lenses mounted were either heavy "L" or the EF-S 17-55mm, f2.8 IS USM on the 40D.)

It was a 5 hour shoot and I was thrashed/beat but the system saved some of the back strain I would have otherwise encountered. All of the fasteners are the same 3/8" connectors, so it's easy to mix-n-match which camera goes where. The dual-harness has a chest strap that you can omit, if you like. It's still pretty secure without the chest strap.

(That was probably the only time I would hang 3 bodies simultaneously but it was a large outdoor event and no chance to get back to my cart for most of the time.)

I use the Spyder Pro system. And I like it a LOT.
