I just bought one, used it at a wedding last weekend
works very well - 5D2 on right hand, 7D on left hand

Did the cameras swing around much?

I'm still leaning toward the Spider Holster, but remain undecided...

A Friend is letting me try out his DR1. I can't wait to have two bodies ready to fire in action this Friday. Another Friend is letting me try out the CC. I'll put it in action in April.

Bryan, I am kind of leaning toward the CC as well but still want to give the DR1 a try bc it gets 100+ during summer in Temecula area.

I carry two bodies with my regular Canon straps and use my Think Tank Lens Changer 3. Works great.

I tried 2 bodies with regular Canon straps as one with short lens over the neck and one with longer/heavier added on (flash + lens) over the shoulder and I found myself constantly worry about the one over the shoulder would come off of my shoulder and hit the floor.

Tim, if there is a better way to carry 2 bodies with Canon straps, please share. Thanks!

swings only when moving with some urgency
if I move around fast, I keep a hand on each body to minimize motion, and be able to quickly get through around chairs/tables/guests w/o bumping them with gear (watch those kids - cameras and lenses can be head-high to some!)

Tried out the DR1 last night at a wedding for the 1st time and it was awesome. I don't think I can go back to one body. I just swing right for the 17-50mm and swing left for the 100mm (70-200mm is on wish list), both on cropped bodies. Both with speedlite and grip, so they got a little heavy after awhile but not much to complain about the weight.
Can't wait to try out the Cotton Carrier to compare.
