Nicama Multi Camera Carrying Chest Harness Vest System with Side Holster and Secure Straps for Canon Nikon Sony Panasonic Olympus DSLR Cameras

I’m not sure what people were talking about. I dreaded unpacking this and figuring it out. How pleasant to be surprised. It came in a handy mesh bag with a key lock to help turn the bolts in the base holder (where you’d lock into a tripod) and an extra round (key ring) thing. Looking at the pics on amazon I couldn’t figure out what the key thing was. I’ve never had one. It’s great for getting the base screwed into the camera. I LOVE the way it opens and closes. No yoga, no Charlie Brown wrestling match, but rather FOUR clasp choices. Both shoulders and both side of the waist band have snap clasps. It can’t get any easier than that. I’m the family pack mule and I often need options like that for getting it off and on. The front of the vest has a strong wide Velcro strap to hold down the larger lenses and avoid swing/bounce. It’s Velcro with slack so everyone ought to be able to get this to fit. There is a small pocket in front, enough to hold ID and insurance card in case your wild life adventure takes an unexpected turn. The side pouch, for the other camera, seems simple enough. There are two separate straps for attaching. I put the big one over the waist belt. I also like that the vest has elastic stripes/bands on the shoulder harnesses. Maybe I will be able to hook my water bottle or binoculars or whatever on those. I can’t guarantee how they will hold with that type of weight, but I’m going to give the a try. If nothing else they will work to carabiner my keys to the vest. And the last equally amazing thing is that camera is easy on/in and out of the vest. Once you take it out you have full access to your arms and camera. I’ve tried other straps where the camera attached where the neck strap would be. It didn’t come off. I felt claustrophobic trying to move the camera and myself for the best shot. I do hope the plastic front holds up. It seems standard quality. I’m going to keep the camera secured and maybe the harness safety strap snug to elevate some of the strain on that piece. I saw a review where that broke. That would be bad. Go ahead and get one. You’ll be glad you did. Happy shooting!

This harness was just what I was looking for. Making m look like a photo nerd. Apart from that, it's really practical, super sturdy and well designed. I was shooting a wedding and this guy was perfect for the occasion. I was afraid I would be sweaty in it but the back is a mesh. It's very comfortable. The front is very rigid, and that's just what's needed. You don/t what the harness to bend under the front camera weight.The "holsters" were super easy to take out and put back in the cameras. Even running with it, it was holding very well. There is a safety strap for each camera in case you miss the "holster". It was reassuring as I thought of the possibility for the shoe to break. The belt has a triple velcro to hold the second camera. This thing isn't going anywhere! It's all good quality. The only downstar is that the shoulder straps are kinda short. I'm a little guy (5'7") and the straps length was just enough. So for someone 6' and over it might not fit. The good thing is that the hi[p holster can be removed if needed. In all, I'm very happy about it. Can't wait for another occasion to use it again.

Just got this camera carrying vest but will put it though its real work out in my upcoming trip and will revise my review. First things first there is no real instructions except there is a brief explanation sheet. It will still take you a bit to figure it out so take the time to do so. I think you need to be smart with the weight that you put on the plastic clip. # I have a full frame DLSR D750 camera with 28-300mm lens and it holds it very good without fear of it coming off. I am not sure i would want to try my 600mm lens though. I think the weight would be too much. #There is some more adjustments I found that others have not mention and I posted those on my pictures which you really need to check those out. There is a velcro strap that can hold your lens to keep it from swaying side to side and keep it even more secured but if you need to use the side holster then you probably can’t use this strap but i only have one lens. The shoulder straps are adjustable in back with velcro. #The key that came with mine did not have a hole like in the picture description so I did have to drill that so I could hang it and not lose it. There is a top strap that goes between each shoulder strap not sure what this is for maybe to keep the shoulder straps tighter on you. As of right now I am thoroughly impressed with it! Great price, good quality and I think be a great help when I am hiking.

Love it and don't know why it took me so long to get one. I bought the same one from a different company and they didn't include the camera hubs. Sent it back and got this one for the same price. doesn't come with instructions so take your time. The arm pads Velcro to the back mesh. It fits high to your chest in order to hold a big lens. Very comfortable, I took the second pouch off and it slides on my gun belt for a lower fit since I pack a gun at times when I'm photo shooting the wilderness. I adjusted my camera hub at a slight angle so that I turn my camera just off center in order to remove it from the holder. If I get very active on my outings, I was going to attach a wide velcro to zip across the lens so it doesn't swing otherwise it's very sturdy and secure. It does not interfere if I throw a back pack on as well, You can put your second camera holder on another strap or leave it on the chest harness because the harness rides higher than your pack strap. Very happy and you can't beat this price... Mine was $28 Update... 10-2-17. After using it for a week or so , I figured out areas that you can improve it's function. I sewed by hand, 2 pieces of Velcro to the bottom so it can be looped around a belt (most people might have a belt on). This keeps the harness from sliding up when you are in a hurry. Then you might have a slight swing to your long lens camera while walking... you might use Velcro for this too but I found it easy and soft to just run a small bandana through the loop and with a single overhang, you can secure it while hiking. I love the mobility this harness gives me.

OK, so it's the only photo harness I've used, but still -- this thing is perfect! Love it. I can wear two cameras on me and even carry my "Papa Bear" camera/lens. That way when I'm out trekking about rock climbing areas I can capture wildlife, humans, pets, landscapes -- anything!! Be sure to use the safety cord feature because one time the nut had become loose during travel and use and my GoTo camera/lens fell out of the harness slot. YIKES!! Had it crashed to the ground that would have been a costly disaster! Instead, the cord did what it's designed to do, saved the day, and brought a HUGE sigh of relief to me. Worth every penny, this harness is, and it's not very expensive in the first place. I'm a small person so I had to adjust the straps to fit me. I've no idea how big it can be made to go, but obviously it's custom-sizeable. I'm actually a photographer, so I use this often. Recommend it highly.

I bought this vest system, and while most of it works as expected and is of good quality, the mount screw that attaches the camera to the vest is a major letdown. It’s really frustrating to remove because there’s no space to use a coin or any standard tool to detach it. You’re forced to rely on the tool that comes with the kit, which isn’t always convenient if you lose it or don’t have it handy. For something as important as the mounting system, I expected better. And you can loose the screw easily, nothing holds the screw, you can see in the video. Everything else is solid, but this screw design really pissed me off.

Just purchased a two Camera NC-Vest from Nicama for my husband with neck issues but he loves to take pictures. Today he tried with one camera without removing the original camera strap and one camera only. Based on his review, it will be equally easy to carry two cameras using this vest. The mounting of adapter was straightforward. The tightening tool worked good. Wish it had a hole so one could Zip-tie the tool to one of the straps of the NC-Vest so it won’t be misplaced and be there when required to tighten the adapter. The camera felt secure thru’ during the hike. It was easy to remove the camera from the camera holding fixture. The vest or the camera didn’t put any stress on his neck. As a result, he absolutely loved the NC-Vest. Adjust straps need to have a loop in the back to hold the straps when cinched tight

Not thin and flimsy. Hard, thick material. Good accessories to attach camera. Love the two straps to keep camera safe incase screw comes off (for camera for chest AND two straps for camera on waist) HOWEVER am looking to see if I can get an attachment for the camera that will let me use my tripod as well. With this attached, u cant use a tripod unless plate is attached to lens arm (if it has one). Just something to consider. For the money much less than the well known brand but excellent build and quality.

Que es muy práctico.

Good product.

Utilisé lors d'une randonnée en montagne et de la visite d un parc animalier. Très pratique d'utilisation, facile à mettre , bonne répartition du matériel . Un deuxième holster pour le côté gauche compléterais le produit . Donc produit validé de qualité et pour moi indispensable pour les baroudeur

Fits perfectly

現場でリュックから取り出す手間が省け最初からセットして現場までいけるので楽になりました。小物などは小さめのカメラバックに入れホルダーの背中部分にベルトで固定しリュックみたいな形にしてます。全面、サイドのホルダーのロック事態はしっかりしてるのですが、ホルダーから外す時にてこずるので慣れが必要、特にサイドホルダーはカメラごと持ち上がってしまうためガンホルダー見たいにベルトを着け太腿に回し対処しています。撮りたい時に即座にカメラを向ける事が出来るので価格帯からすれば買い得では。いちいちリュックから取り出しセットする手間がなく両手があく事が何よりすばらしい。
