Store your DSLR, mirrorless or compact camera in the ready position, at your side with the camo Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Wanderer Side Holster Camofrom Cotton Carrier. The holster has a rear belt-loop for easy attachment to a user-supplied belt or strap. Behind the belt is an interlocking, touch-fastening strap for attaching to larger items such as the waist belt on a backpack. Although capable of carrying longer and heavier lenses, the longest recommended lens is a 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom. This holster is suitable for most varieties of photographic endeavor, such as hiking, covering sporting events, and similar shooting scenarios that might be described as light to medium activity. The shoulder strap has a sliding D-ring, safety tether strap, which allows your camera to travel up and down its length. The tether also serves as a safety backup for the remote possibility of accidental camera and mount separation.

The tether attaches to the included split ring installed on your camera's strap lug with a swiveling snap-hook. The camera hub screws into the base of your camera's tripod socket with the supplied Allen Key. The back of the hub has a 0.25" threaded opening for mounting a tripod or quick-release plate without having to remove the hub from your camera. The hub's rubber washer is compressed during installation to help prevent unwanted loosening. Cotton Carrier recommends the use of a minute amount of LocTite as an added precaution. Always inspect your camera hub and receptacle for debris or wear that might negatively affect its performance.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the purpose of the 10 degree hub. Would it be recommended for a 500m PF lens mounted on the D500? This is comparatively short lens.

A: The 10 degree hub, is for many different size lenses. Good to try with the 500mm PF.

Q: 2. One Size Fits All ? Yeah, right. I'd hate to drop this much cash only to find it won't fit my 55-inch chest. What is the largest size it will fit?

A: It is NOT one size fits all...more like one size fits many. I just bought this and will have to return it. I am 4'11, weigh 104 lbs and although I have every strap cinched as small/tight as it can go, it is still too big for me. When I take my Canon RF 100-500 out of the "clip", if I do not dig my elbow into my side, the vest rides halfway up my chest. Not ideal if you need to capture a shot. I'm so disappointed, because it would be so wonderful not to have that weight on your neck or shoulder.

Q: 3. Does it have a strap to anchor down a telephoto zoom lens? Unable to see it on the pictures.

Q: 4. How long is the tether? What is the weight limit? How is it attached to a horizontal belt?

Q: 8. Has anybody used this while riding a motorcycle or mega scooter (like Suzuki Burgman)?

A: Unfortunately, I am not sure if anybody has used the Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Harness-2 while riding a motorcycle or a mega scooter. However, this is more-so designed for usage during activity such as walking or hiking. While it may be possible to use the harness while riding a motorcycle or scooter, I cannot speak for the safety of this usage, and in the unfortunate event of an accident, there may be more damage to your equipment used in this fashion.
