What's the difference?

  • G3 Harness

    The G3 Harness systems are the ultimate in weight distribution. They provide maximum ergonomics while carrying your camera setup. Whether your setup includes one camera, or two, or binoculars, the G3 can handle it. Suitable for DSLR and telephoto lenses.

  • Skout G2

    The Skout G2 is a lightweight and portable version of the G3 camera harness. While it will not fail under the weight of any camera gear, we recommend mid-sized setups or smaller for optimal use of the Skout G2.

  • Wanderer Side Holster

    The Wanderer Side Holster is our most lightweight and portable system, simply securing to your belt for independent use. This system is also a modular addition to any of our carrier systems if you want one more camera available in a fixed, comfortable position.

The camera essential you always knew you needed

Enjoy your adventures without your gear becoming a burden! Designed by photographers, our carrier systems will allow you to carry your camera gear more comfortably and securely while providing quick access to your essentials. It’s a simple, functional, high-quality harness that guarantees a better photographic experience.

Frequently asked questions

Can the G3 be used while wearing a backpack?

Yes & comfortably! It works well under Day packs and extended packs.
The G3 Can be used while wearing a backpack!

Do I get an instructional manual?

Yes all systems come with instructions which will be included in your purchase.

What size is this for?

The harness goes as small as 28 inches around your torso and up to 57 inches, 6 points of adjustment available to fit a variety of body sizes for women and men.

How should the harness fit?

The best fit for the harness is snug. You want the weight of your camera’s to be evenly distributed throughout your body and down over your legs.

If the system is worn slopy you will not get the benefits of how the system is supposed to operate

What's the maximum size this can handle?

Our harnesses are engineered to carry more than you can put on them. That being said your body can only carry so much weight and can only handle lenses of a certain length. For instance, a 600mm f/4 with its lens hood will probably be too long! For larger telephoto lenses we recommend securing the camera hardware to the lens foot.
