Grey Skout G2 - For Camera - Sling Style Harness

Camera Sling

SKOUT the world's most comfortable, secure, and accessible, Sling-Style camera or binocular harness. SKOUT holds your camera close to your body. Nothing moves around. Active humans take note–SKOUT is ergonomically designed to hug your core. Comfortable and snug. Your gear can be instantly and quietly deployed. The advantage to the SKOUT harness is its fixed-position carrying system. Our patented Twist & Lock mount secures your camera to your chest. SKOUT offers great stability and weight distribution, at the same time keeping your optics accessible.

While the Skout can handle any weight a camera system can provide we recommend small to medium sized set ups. For larger DSLR with battery grip and telephoto the G3 Harness system is best suited.

    Great but I only wish there was a size larger than the one size fits all that is offered.

    Both the Harness and Scout have issues as a small woman

    I initially purchased a Harness for help carrying my camera with large telephoto lens, then the Scout for a less bulky alternative when using a smaller lens. I hike or walk in nature preserves and have not taken the camera on a bike. Both systems have drawbacks for a small woman. The Harness just doesn’t adjust enough to bring the camera high enough on the chest to make me comfortable. An experienced user was adjusting it, and was also frustrated. The Scout has an issue with women’s anatomy, if your chest is anything larger than Twiggy, positioning it properly is awkward, especially in warm weather without a jacket.. Straps over or under or across the middle? I like the concept and will continue to try to make them work. When there was a delivery issue the company was a pleasure to work with, they definitely get high ratings in my book.

    Doesn’t fit way to tight

    Wanted to love this but unfortunately it doesn’t fit. I’m 6’ 1” tall & weigh 200lbs with a muscular build and it smashes my pecs together. Definitely not one size fits all. The straps need to be longer!!

    Great fit

    The carrier appears to be well-made, and it fit my torso to a T the first time I put it on. Holds my Nikon Z6 with both short- and long-telephoto lenses well. Wish they had a small bag that could fit it, using the same twist/lock feature. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

    Awesome Carrier

    I recently purchased the G2 for a trip hiking the canyons in Utah. I have a Canon 5DM4, mostly used the 24-70mm lens and also carried a 70-200mm lens without any issues. It was great not to worry about the camera swinging on the strap and having two free hands when negotiating the trails. Highly recommended.

    Hardware

    Cotton Carrier original, flat, virtually indestructible, friction-free, hard-anodized aluminum hub. Secured with a slotted hole to allow for slight adjustment to avoid blocking the battery door. A threaded hole on the hub allows you to still use your tripod with our system.

    Safety Tether

    Backup high impact rated Safety Tether. Provides an extra level of security when using the harness. Added redundancy allowing you to be certain your camera is always safe.

    Weather Cover

    The G3 Weather Cover is designed for the elements. This self containing bag is weather proof protecting against dust and water. There is 10 inches of clearance inside. Complete with a clip to attach to.

    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

    30 day 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.
