Really like this system, but always have to be careful not to take a fall because the camera is not protected. Generally the camera is easier to get out of the holder as compared to being put into it, but all and all it works well for me on the trail.

I have started shooting more events that require me to have two bodies in order to avoid costly lens and setting changes. I was using a double harness for a while but I wasn't a fan of the second body dangling at my side and/or getting in my way. I decided to try out the Cotton Carrier on my belt and I was extremely pleased with the experience. I was initially concerned that the camera sticking out perpendicular was going to have me bumping it into things or hitting my arm/hand on it, but it turned out to be a non-issue. I had my X-T30 with a pancake lens on it as my secondary camera and it was both comfortable and convenient. The twist action to holster and remove the camera became instinctive pretty quickly. I didn't have any issues with the camera rotating to the unlocked position accidentally, and even if it did I have no concerns about it coming out of the holster either way. Installing the base plate and finding the center of balance was very easy. I use an extended grip with an Arca rail, which has a 1/4-20 receiver that's offset from the factory position on my camera, but it wasn't an issue.My only small complaints about the system are regarding the camera tether and the top tether. If you are using the Carrier on a backpack the camera tether is of adequate length for you to shoot without detaching it. From the belt you have to unclip the camera every time, which is slightly cumbersome in fast-paced shooting, or not use the tether at all, which is obviously less safe. I understand that it is what it is, as a strap long enough to shoot from the hip would be a snagging or possibly even a tripping hazard, but I felt the need to mention it. I also understand the function of the top tether, and when it's up on a shoulder strap and not in use it's more or less out of sight/mind, but down on the belt, even if you fold up and tuck the strap down into the Velcro cuff, the plastic draw-through hardware sticks up in a bit of an annoying fashion. Again, not a big deal but I felt it worth mentioning.All in all I am very satisfied with my choice. I will almost exclusively be using it on my belt for my type of work, but I appreciate the option to use it with a backpack or sling bag when traveling. I will update this review once I've given it a workout in the upper location.

I use a Gregory Maya 16 backpack for hiking and this camera holder works perfectly. I love the extra security of the latch for the camera, made me feel that my canon 60d was secure while using the camera. Wore this during a 2 day camping trip, hiking about 10 miles and it was super comfortable and easy to ‘unholster/holster’ camera.

Este soporte de hombro me ha cambiado la vida en mis viajes. Es comodo, muy funcional, y ni te enteras que llevas la camara en el hombro.Los materiales son buenos y dan confianza.Si llevar la camara al cuello te provoca dolores de cervicales, sin duda esto es lo que necesitas.

I was skeptical of the price but I am so glad I bought this. I like to go hiking and this has made carrying a camera along a breeze. It is worth every penny.It takes the strain off of your neck from the camera strap and keeps the camera from bouncing around while I walk. It makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable.I highly recommend it.

This is an expensive piece or equipment given the material it contains, but the camera holder works very well. So far I 've carried it on the strap of my opsrey daypack and the camera doesn't get in the way; doesn't bounce; and is easy to access when i want to take a picture. I would have given it 5 star but i just ran into a problem. The screw came loose when i was hiking and the camera fell out of the holder. I did have the strap attached so the camera didn't hit the ground. Perhaps if i were smarter i would have anticipated that screws come loose and would always tighten it before i used it. Now I will, and if i take it on a multiday back packing trip i'll carry an allen wrench. It won't happen again but i just warn other users to be aware of this possibility.

I like the solid construction of the Cotten Carrier kit. I fasten it to the shoulder strap of my backpack and it holds my SLR camera securely in place. It is easy and quickly removed from the holder to take pictures and it is just as easily put back in place.I also like the security strap to prevent the camera from fallen if it should slip and the grip holder is also a nice addition.I find that the weight of my camera is nicely distributed -- but the strap that loops through the back handle of the backpack could be a little longer. All in all I am quite happy with this device.

Lange habe ich überlegt ob dieses Teil Sinn macht und ja es tut. Ich hab‘s an meinem Rucksack montiert damit ich die Hände frei habe wenn ich nicht fotografiere. Die Kamera rutscht gut rein und sitzt nach Dreh schön am Halter und ist zusätzlich gesichert mit einem Gurt falls man mal nicht richtig einhängt. Ich finde ihn praktisch.

Works surprisingly well-- the simple twist-and-lift motion gets the camera in my hand every time. I have one on my day-hiking pack, and another on my mountain-biking hydration pack.I have noticed that the locking mechanism will occasionally squeak in the shoulder mount if I'm hiking down rough switchbacks, but that's only happened on a couple of particularly steep trails. Otherwise, the cotton carrier has been flawless.For my hiking/day-pack setup, I'm using a mirrorless camera with a 100-400 lens. When on the bike, I use a much smaller and lighter 55-210 lens; anything heavier might hang down too close to the handlebar when riding aggressively.

Hiked the White Mountains of New Hampshire and had this attached to my Lowepro pack while climbing and hiking some challenging peaks like the Franconia Ridge trail. The strap attached perfectly to my pack and I was very comfortable the entire week. I took one nasty spill and at no time was I worried that my camera would come out of the holster. I like this design better than the harness as I don't have to put on another contraption in addition to my Lowepro pack. This was a little expensive for what it is but I'm very happy that I bought it as trying to hold my camera while climbing and descending with hiking poles would have been a PIA. Great Product

I used the strapshot on my backpack strap, and it works just as described. It doesn't distribute the weight on a larger lens, so be prepared for that. The strapshot is great for keeping the camera available without it bouncing around on your chest or stomach, occupying your hands the entire time, or having to juggle a camera and a pair of binoculars at the same time.One item to be aware of, and why I knocked off a star, is that the screw that holds the hand strap and the locking bracket works loose over time. Keep the Allen wrench with you on an extended trip. I learned that lesson the hard way, but found the safety line works like it should.
