Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this support a Nikon Coolpix P900?

A: Absolutely will work with the P900.

Q: 2. Will this work with a R5 with battery grip and L bracket?.

A: For any camera to fit this Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Harness-2, the Cotton Carrier Universal Hubless Adapter Plate, BH # CO766NHP is required. Whether it can work with your set up depends on the actual L-bracket being used, as not all have a 1/4" female thread at the bottom. https://bit.ly/3D9U153

Q: 3. I am 6'8" and wondering about positioning and length of the vest and the comfort whether it should ride higher or lower?

A: The most comfortable way to use the Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Harness-1 (Gray) would depend on your specific body proportions and your personal taste.

Q: 4. I also need to carry a backpack when I do outdoor trips. With this harness, it appears that I can't carry a backpack any more?

A: You can wear a backpack with the Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Harness-1 (Gray)—the straps and the harness are thin enough for that. Another option would be to get a harness that attaches to the backpack straps, for example, the Keyhole Hands-Free Camera Harness (B&H # KEBCKHBL).

Q: 5. It sounds like multiple people have had their camera dislodge from the side holster when stooping or kneeling. Has anyone come up with an effective work-around (e.g., a safety tethering strap)?

A: No, Cotton Carrier has not made a tether that works with the Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Harness-2 (Realtree Xtra Camo)

Q: 6. With the two camera version, can I put most of the weight on my hips and not on my shoulders?

A: The weight gets dispersed between the hips, core, and shoulder. If you just want the weight on the hips you may want to get a belt system like this one. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1655133-REG/spider_camera_holster_240_spiderpro_dslr_dual_camera.html

Q: 7. Will this system work with a camera with a battery grip?

A: Yes, the Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Harness-1 (Gray) will work with a camera with an attached battery grip.

Q: 8. I need back support. Does this harness provide that?

A: Technically no, but it would certainly be much better than using a heavy camera on a traditional strap around your neck or shoulder. This harness would take some strain off your back compared to most other camera carriers.

Q: 9. How can I hike with one camera but two lenses? (ie. I have a wide angle on my camera but want to bring a zoom lens as well).

A: There are two possible solutions. If your lens has a tripod mounting collar with / 20 mounting threads , you can buy a side strap (holster) for Cotton Carrier which is meant to carry a second camera (check B and H website for side holsters for Cotton Carrier) . The holster may attach to your belt rather than the cotton carrier. You can then attach and carry the lens to the holster which will carry the lens on one side of your waist. This will work but the problem with this arrangement is that the heavy lens will hang on the side causing the weight distribution to be non-uniform and therefore uncomfortable. Alternately you can carry the camera with the heavy lens on the chest and the light lens on the side holster. However, I have found a better solution. I had earlier bought an Ikan brand padded camera bag from B and H which is reasonably priced, is meant to be carried as a backpack and can carry upto 14 inch long equipment (Camera, lens or camera plus lens) . Beside the camera and the lens, it has room for other equipment such as ND filters, small monitors etc. So I carry one camera with lens on my chest in Cotton Carrier, one camera with lens and other equipment in my backpack. It has the great advantage that all the weight is on the shoulders and comfortably distributed and none on the side (which is not convenient). By attaching the right weight lens to the camera carried on the chest in Cotton Carrier and storing the rest in backpack, you can make the weight on chest and back somewhat equal and thus more comfortable. This is my suggested solution.

Q: 10. Is this harness just for DSLR's or can it be used with a mirrorless camera such as a Fujifilm X-T3?

A: Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Harness-1 (Gray) BH #CO686GREY can also be used with a mirrorless camera such as a Fujifilm X-T3.
