  For a wedding/reception/event which requires 2 cameras on my person I use the OP/TECH 3/8ths connector system of straps. It lets me mix-n-match 3 camera bodies between a 2-camera harness (Dual Harness) and a Pro Strap.

  I like the way that the bottom plate of the camera is free for using a vertical/battery grip, or a tripod quick release head or whatever.
  
  The wide neoprene suspension of both the Dual Harness and the Pro Strap is very comfortable and secure through a day's shoot. The positioning of the cameras on the Dual Harness puts both bodies at the hands for control when moving about, or transitioning to use the desired camera.
  
  In fact, if one connector fails with the Dual Harness design, the camera-lens-flash is still suspended. Otherwise the load is amortized across the 2 connectors in the way that the camera manufacturers intended.
