One round the neck and one over the shoulder

One round the neck and one over the shoulder

sounds risky! a blonde moment and gear will be flying down

Optech dual harness here

Sun sniper harness here, very comfy and easy to use each camera, plus you can have a safety strap attached in case camera and lens part company as I saw one do recently and fall onto concrete (not mine)

Probably more risk lifting the camera out of the bag..
Unless you picked me up wrong , I have 1 camera round my neck so unless my head falls off its going nowhere and the other main camera is over my shoulder but being the main camera is in my hand 90% of the time so can only fall if I leave go of it which I don't plan on doing

Black rapid DR1 for me, with Kirk 1 inch clamps for Arca Swiss compatibility.

what does the dr1 do, i may of missed something but they just look like L brackets, I am assuming they fit something?

I used q straps for a year or two, felt good, looked a bit nuts. Moved to b-grips for last year and those worked well once I'd got used to them. No tiredness at all on the upper body and very tidy. Very secure and discreet in comparison.

Now I've started using the peak capture clip system (possibly forgotten the name right now) which is extra discreet and secure but I'm still in "getting used to" phase at the moment.

Double straps are great mind. And a fraction of a second faster at first. Just a bit "obvious" if you don't mind that then grab a set. I had a good time with the Q straps, two versions. My only beef was the yellow on the plastic bit and the insane parachutist comments

I find with a suit jacket over the top, and the chest strap undone, the BR dual is very discreet.

I wore a black shirt so it wasn't so much in your face. Very comfortable and user friendly.
