Belt, harness or bog standard strap?

What's your multiple body carrying solution ?

I'm still on straps. On hung round my kneck and the other around my wrist. Been working like that for always, but starting to get old and thinking a belt or harness might be the solution to easing the carrying strain of my two bodies (6d & 600d + 70-200/24-70).

The eggs now looks interesting and affordable, but I'm concerned about kneeling.

Any real life experience in this area?

The Holdfast Moneymaker has been great for me. I always thought they were overpriced and so I tried several other dual camera strap/harnesses options first but was never really satisfied with them for either performance or comfort reasons.

I finally bit the bullet on the Moneymaker about 6 months ago and really love it. Right away it just functioned better than other systems for me, easy to shoot with and my cameras didn't hang too low or feel like they weren't safe. As for comfort, it felt pretty good from the start but as the leather broke in and got softer and more formed to my shoulders it's been fantastic. Easy on my back and shoulders. And of course the strap looks nice too. I can't recommend it enough.

I've seen these used in the UK, not actually in person, they were on a wedding video that I edited (something else I do), and it did look an impressive bit of kit. Not available in the UK as far as I can see though, but thanks for the headsup towards who actually makes it.

I've got a Blackrapid double strap. Nicely distributing the weight and easy to grab one of the two bodies I am carrying. However, kneeling or sitting down requires some pre-thought. When you kneel or sit down the straps reach ground - or bum - level. So one way or the other you'll have to catch your gear before hitting the ground. I think this goes for anything you are carrying on your hip instead of around your neck. So whatever system you are choosing this'll be an issue.
.... Unless there are others that have a better solution.???

B&H sells them and ships internationally. Also, there are a couple places listed here as selling in Europe. Nordica specifically says it sells to UK:

I had the same issue with the blackrapid double strap. Every time I wanted to get low for a shot or sit down, the cameras would swing really low. It was really disconcerting and I was on edge worrying about camera safety the whole time I wore them.

Black rapids work great. I run and roll around all the time with mine. Cameras are a lot more robust than people think.

My Multiple body carrying technique. Carry's 3 bodies and all my glass plus a couple of flashes. I never carry gear on my body anymore. The Black rapids are nice but I kept getting war wounds because the cameras would fling around and hit stuff. Been using this case for 3 yrs now. My new bodies look new and I am not exhausted from carrying bodies for 12 hrs

My wife has one as well. We roll everything. Much easier and safer on the gear

What's it called Mike?

I just picked up a dual Spider Holster. Worked very well. Easy and quick to switch cameras and was very well built.

Next week I have my first wedding which I'll be shooting two bodies. since starting this year I've relied on the battery grip and no strap. Just love the extra surface area to wrap my spastic fingers around. Commando Carry, I call it. I am going to carry a smaller shoulder bag and just toss the non shooting camera in there. Today in the mail I get the battery grip and I was tempted to pick up the Black Rapid but after reading the comments I'm glad I stuck with the grip option.

Here's my take after photographing weddings for 10+ years

Eventually, the weight of the camera will take a toll on you... Your back will let you know.

Original camera straps aren't good for weddings. Too narrow and restrictive.

Things like spyder holster are the best as it takes all the weight off your shoulders and back. There are cheaper alternatives of it as cheap as $5 on ebay that you clip to your belt.

Black rapids are ok in the sense, the strap that touches your shoulder is wide enough to distribute the weight,but it's still not the best.

Like the BR duel strap but after a 12 hour wedding I'm glad to get it off. I wear it under my suit jacket so don't really see it at all. Like the way the cameras slide up to my eye and drop back down. I do find I have to hold them if I move too quickly from one place to another.

However lately I'm feeling looking a little bit more like the photographer can be helpful at times. Quite fancy a holdfast myself as once I take my jacket off it would look a lot nicer.
