Works as advertised.
Works as advertised.I had previously tried the "BLACKRAPID Double Breathe Camera Harness, Trusted Design For One Or Two SLR, DSLR, Mirrorless Cameras", which in and of itself is a nice unit, but I found that having a (relatively) heavy camera/lens and a pair of binoculars (instead of a second camera) attached produced a lot of swinging, bouncing, and bumping against me while walking and hiking.I used this setup recently on a two-week birding trip around southern Florida. In a place like that at the end of April you'll still sweat in the harness, but you'd sweat without it anyway, and the lightness of the unit and mesh body construction make the best of a hot situation.A heavy camera and lens (I'm using a Canon R7 body with a(n) RF 100-500 mm lens attached) will tend to make the harness ride slightly forward even with the straps adjusted snugly, but just a bit, and not enough to compromise its use.I did need to occasionally re-tighten the attachment screw on the base of my camera body; you should definitely check this periodically depending on how frequently you're mounting and dismounting the camera on the harness.You may lose some spontaneity in the time it takes to get the camera out of the harness slot (I'm shooting birds and they move around quickly and a lot). On the other hand, when the camera is in the slot properly it's very secure, and the safety strap is strong enough to bring peace of mind. Standing in one place and photographing birds I sometimes let the camera dangle on its safety strap rather than keep putting it back into and taking it out of the harness; I felt confident in the strap's strength and reliability.Overall it does what it says, and it's much more comfortable walking and hiking to have my hands free and the weight of the camera and lens not swinging around and bouncing against me all the time.I also attached my binoculars to the second safety strap, which meant with both the camera and the binoculars I could go totally hands free for those times when simply hiking or walking.I've had the harness for about a month now, using it both at home and on travel, so I cannot speak to its longevity, but so far it appears to be holding up just fine.

Secures cameras
This makes it super easy to swap between cameras really quickly. While I was using this I let go of my camera to catch something, but the security strap kept my camera from hitting the ground. I probably wouldn't do that again but I still have my camera so yay.Also it must have for any photographer using two cameras. Makes it so that you don't have to swap lenses. I will say it makes my shoulders sore but that's probably because I have to address the straps to counter the weight of the camera on the side.

As advertised
It seems to do all that it says it will. It assembles easily, and the adjustments on the vest allow it to be held close to the chest. It holds the camera so that it does not swing, and the camera unlocks and pulls out easily. I have not used it yet in the field, but expect it to perform well.

Great harness for even shooters
I wear this when shooting events. It allows me to use my hands when needed and to quickly switch between cameras when needed as I shoot with a zoom as my main and a prime lens for personal moments that need to be sharp and precise.

No bounce
For the price, it works much better than expected. Whether biking or hiking it eliminates the camera bouncing off your chest.

Pretty much worked as advertised
It actually works pretty great. Once the cameras are locked into the holsters, they feel very secure. I did buy separate carabiners and straps because the included ones seemed a bit flimsy. In reality, I am sure the included ones are just fine. I can tell that the plastic bases not super durable but for the price it seems like a good deal even if I have to replace it in a year. I have used the harness a few times so far and it seems to work very well, and a lot more secure than a camera hanging off of a strap on each side. I definitely feel more confident in crowded situations. It is also a lot easier on the back. I would like better instructions on the ideal way to connect straps and carabiners. You also have to make sure that you slide the cameras all the way into the holsters and hear them click into the locks. It seems easy to not have it locked in. But overall, I like this system over other holsters that I have tried. I can switch cameras quickly, it seems supportive on back and shoulders, and the price is right.

limitations
I Purchased this in advance to use for my national parks vacay, so my return window closed. In order to use this system, you need to have a separate, additional purchase of a quick-release plate ($40+) that compliments the round clip that mounts to the DSLR to connect to the holster. The quick release plate for that system is no way sturdy enough to hold in a vertical position and needs constant tightening to keep locked-in to hold in a horizontal position. Also, the round clips that come with the holster that attach the camera to the holster would frequently come loose and disconnect from the camera so the camera would fall away from the holster. If not for the tether my D810 would have dropped to the ground several times.The only option would be to use the camera holster system without a tripod to shoot hand-held or remove the round clip-plate from the bottom of your camera and then put on a traditional QR plate then mount to a tripod every time you need tripod stability.This holster and the additional necessary QR plate were a big disappointment. Not practical at all for this shooter. Yet another photography accessory to be put in storage.
