Camera Harnesses: Which to Avoid and Which to Buy

by brin on November 29, 2011

Many people take to purchasing their camera harnesses online. Those who do may find that it’s difficult to tell which kinds should be used and which ones should not be used. After all, online, many look just the same even though the brands and prices will be completely different. How does anyone make the decision about which ones to go with? There are a few tricks to determining the best ones to avoid and the best ones to buy. Stick around and learn the keys to selecting the best camera harness system.

First, you should always avoid the kinds that do not provide any type of guarantee. Anything that is purchased online should have a guarantee. You just can’t tell certain aspects online and a guarantee is the only way to cover your bases and ensure you’re not getting ripped off on camera harnesses. While some only have 30 or 60 day guarantees, others will provide lifetime guarantees which is a very good sign.

Second, as you are shopping for camera harnesses you should also look to see if they are adjustable. Some adjust so they can fit over one shoulder, two shoulders, or be worn over the neck. Others don’t adjust at all. The most important adjustments that will be made are to the size of the harness. If it doesn’t adjust sizes, it will not be useful when it should be adjusted to be worn over heavy duty outer wear or as a child grows or as someone gains weight. Make sure it’s adjustable or don’t buy it.

Lastly, never purchase camera harnesses that have a leather piece on the back of them. This means they cannot be adjusted at all. A ring is the best option for the back of the harness because it is more comfortable, less stiff, just as strong and still allows for adjustment. These are all great tips for purchasing a camera harness.
