A camera harness is a carry system consisting of dual shoulder straps, worn much like a backpack or a pair of suspenders, designed to carry a large camera or camcorder with greater comfort and stability than a neck or shoulder strap. Unlike a neck or shoulder strap, a camera harness distributes the weight of a large camera evenly to both shoulders, releiving stress on the neck, while holding the camera securely on the front of the body, hands-free, and allowing quick and easy shooting.

The WillCAD Camera Harness is based on the common binocular harness design found in outdoor shops and camera stores all over the world, but with differences designed specifically with medium-to-large SLR cameras in mind. The shoulder straps adjust in size to fit just about everyone, from the smallest to the largest photographer. In the photos on this page, the man is me, and the little girl is my niece; I am 6'-4" tall and about 270 pounds, while my niece is 4'-7" tall and about 90 pounds. The same harness fits us both, and can be adjusted for even larger or smaller people than us.

Other "camera" harness systems on the market are actually designed for use with binoculars, not heavy SLR cameras. Typically made from thinner, one-inch-wide (1") elastic or webbed straps without shoulder pads, these harnesses can dig painfully into the shoulders when used with a heavy camera, and are uncomfortable for long-term wear. Those with elastic straps can also allow heavy cameras to bounce uncomfortably, even dangerously, as the wearer walks or engages in other activity, forcing the wearer to keep one hand on the camera at all times.

The WillCAD Camera Harness, with its two-inch-wide (2") polypropylene straps and closed-cell foam shoulder pads, is comfortable enough for all-day wear while walking, hiking, or enjoying your favorite theme parks. The Harness allows the camera to fall comfortably into the rest position, and holds it snugly against the body, hands-free, preventing the bounce and pendulum swing that plague traditional neck straps or modern sling straps. With a WillCAD Camera Harness, you can walk, hike, or ride a bike or horse, with your hands completely off the camera, and never have to worry about painful bouncing or the dangers of your expensive camera swinging around into disaster.

Nor do you have to worry about your camera hanging out of sight on your hip; with a WillCAD Camera Harness, your camera rests in the same position as it did with your old neck strap - without the swinging or bumping of a neck strap, without the neck pains, without the worry of your camera crashing into things if you let it go. And all without keeping your hands on the camera, except when you wish to shoot.

Yet the Harness also allows plenty of freedom of movement - when you want to take a shot, simply grab the camera, swing it into shooting position, and click away! And you can shoot either horizontally or vertically with the same ease and comfort - even one-handed.

The WillCAD Camera Harness can be worn with most small backpacks, typically under the backpack's shoulder straps; and it can be worn with many sling bags, with the bag's sling strap under the harness.
