The Kinesis H717-K X-Harness for Enhanced Performancefrom Kinesis H717-K X-Harness for Enhanced Performanceis designed to hold a heavy DSLR along with an attached lens against the chest. A pair of high-density polyethylene staves at the front of the harness and an "x-style" crisscross rear design transfers loads away from the neck and shoulder for increased comfort.

.24" (6mm) of closed-cell foam padding on the harness's shoulder area, and 2.95" (75mm)-wide, breathable .12" (3mm) padded spacer fabric on the inside surface are included for comfort, while smooth-coated 400 denier nylon on the outer surface provides durability.

Though designed to function independently, the H717-K X-Harness can be used to provide additional stability to a padded Kinesis belt. This can be accomplished by attaching such a belt to the harness with a separately-sold Kinesis H167 4-Point Suspender Adapter, or should a camera also be worn on the harness's front, an H163 3-Point Suspender Adapter.

A Kinesis H675 PJ Camera Strap can be used in tandem with this harness to switch a camera between two carrying methods. Op/Tech, UPstrap, or Tamrac neck strap systems with sewn-in quick-release buckles can be used with the H717-K X-Harness by adding Kinesis H439 Harness to Op/Tech Straps, H441 Harness to UPstrap Camera Straps, or H442 Harness to Tamrac Straps respectively. Alternatively, H437 Harness to Snap Hook Straps allow a holster or pouch with D-Rings to be carried on the chest. These items are also sold separately.

A pair of H436 Harness to Kinesis Camera Straps as well as a pair of H435 Kinesis Camera Adapters are included with the H717-K X-Harness. The H436 straps join the harness to H435 adapters which allow a camera to attach to the harness without a neckstrap. An included sway-free strap helps keep a camera or holster from swinging excessively when attached to the harness. A Y215 Basic Shoulder Strap can also be added, snapped onto the D-Rings of the harness, and then run around the back of the torso for additional stability.

[1 lb] I'd been using a Black Rapids cross body strap but it kept slipping off my shoulder when I used it with the Olympus 300mm f4. This harness is much more comfortable and attaches to the camera lugs instead of screwing into the camera tripod mount. The initial setup is a little fiddley. I find it's best to put the harness on and then attach the camera with the quick release buckles. 5

[Black] I have owned Cotton Carrier and Trekking Safari harness, and this is my favorite. It is comfortable to hold my Nikon D700 with power grip and 70-200 f/2.8. It doesn't use the screw hole on the bottom of the camera, which is easy to be unbuckled to put on a tripod. Kgear sells inexpensive parts that support multiple cameras, and their buckles can be attached to the original camera straps so you can easily switch between harness and camera strap. The only con is it is quite bulky in my backpack. The 90 degree turn required by Cotton Carrier is quite annoying. I missed some shots in event shooting due to this stupid turn. The back vest pushes pressure on my neck while the front vest holds all the weight. It is not tripod friendly and you have to carry the hex key around. Trekking Safari is comfortable and nicely distributes most of the weight to the back. It doesn't use the bottom screw as well. It is quite compact and is easy to fit in a backpack. However, it restricts the camera movements, especially if you try to turn the camera to a portrait position. 5

[Nylon/Polyester] As with military packs and supports, these suspenders put belt weight on your shoulders, making it much easier to carry items around in pouches vs. your hands. Well made, although I wish all the fasteners were metal, but I have had no issues with the plastic clips. 5

[1 lb] Use with Kinesis X-Large Holster to carry Nikon D810 with Tamron 600MM zoom. Very comfortable and secure, and can tolerate all day with ease and in hot humid weather. Fully adjustable to customize and adapt to your specific camera/lens assembly. As good as the Think Tank system assembly, or perhaps better. Strongly recommend. 5-Stars! 5

[18 x 8.5 x 5"] After being bedridden with pain in my neck and shoulders for almost 2 weeks after walking around with my medium format camera and telephoto lens hanging around my neck with a conventional neck strap--I purchased this harness. OMG, what a difference the distribution of the weight makes!! I strongly recommend this product! 5
