I had just ordered a far more expensive strap from a different company before discovering your fantastic review of the Desired Leather strap. I was so impressed with your review and the company that I immediately cancelled that other order and purchased an entire kit from Desired Leather. I purchased the double strap with company logo, two lens bags, a battery and SD card case and a belt for almost $100 below what I would have spent for ONLY a strap from another company. Thanks for spreading the word!

Great harness! Used mine for 4 months now. Ordered it on the 28th of December and had it delivered by the 6th of January. The only thing I have changed about are the safety clips - upgraded to a Peak Design system. Other than that, I find the cameras rotate and tangle a lot around the safety leather straps which is a bit annoying. I’m still working out a system that would help me avoid this.

Hello Mark, thanks for stopping by. They have since changed a few things such as the addition of a leather strip where I used to put my peak design anchor. Also, the security strap is now leather as well. In terms of carabiners, they are the standard ones that other companies such as Holdfast Moneymaker use.

Ya... those are a « tad » bigger. However, if you look at the Instagram account of desired leather you’ll find some pretty intense setups in terms of lens/body combos and a LOT are not mirror less. So I think you’ll be pretty safe. In terms of movement, u might wanna take the additional leather strip for the front in case - never know! Take a large model (like the one I show in the video) so it has enough holding surface area for the chest and shoulders. I since got 2 other straps and man do I love them!
