BlackRapid double breathe camera harness is designed for one or two SLR, DSLR, or mirrorless cameras. This double harness keeps your cameras safe and securely by your side when exploring onshore in Antarctica.
I thorough recommend and chose to use the multi-terrain camo BlackRapid harness as it was more padded than the slim lightweight version. The double harness easily converts (unclips) to become a single over the shoulder harness should you only want to take one camera ashore.
I loved that attachment to the camera is a swivel and that straps are adjustable which allows the cameras to be positioned at your personal height.
Be sure to use the safety tethers strap to tether the camera to the harness – this adds extra safety and “should” your camera become detached from the harness, the safety tether stops the camera from falling off.
I put my harness on underneath the life jacket and attached my cameras with lens before boarding the zodiac – to keep the cameras dry onboard the zodiac, I used Kathmandu’s lightweight drybags to cover the cameras.
Using the BlackRapid harness allowed me to also take my Go-Pro to capture images and videos from the zodiac.
