I will certainly be interested in this item

Looks interesting Chris..
Good find.

This really gives meaning to "shooting"...

Definitely has cool potential, but I think I would be more comfortable with my camera strapped around my neck.

Saw a wedding photographer using this last weekend. He's been in the game 22 years and done 1100+ weddings and he loves the system, saying it's the best he's ever used.



Cheers

I guess if it keeps your pants up then could be useful! I don't know many Pro wedding photographers who shoot without using fill flash techniques and I don't see how this system could be used when a flashgun is attached to the camera. It would be too unwieldy. Could be useful for sports or aerial photography...even street photography.

Matt,

This guy shot all day pretty much without a flash. He was shooting well into the night and his photos were pretty well spot on. I quite liked his style and he was very laid back for such a pro.

My Spider's arrived today. Won't have much call to try them for a few weeks, but am looking forward to giving them a try. Will be able to report back on my thoughts then.

Cheers

Simon,

We look forward to hearing how well this works for you.

I understand what you're saying, but I also think that, with cameras like the D3s, the game is changing.

Used mine this afternoon and into the early evening. I was very happy with how well they worked and the fact that they didn't really inhibit my shooting style (read - grip) or use of tripod.

The only problem that I identified was that you need to be more aware of the fact that you have two large bodies and lenses hanging off your hips, which make narrow spaces interesting.

Now just to win lotto and get myself 2 x D3s' and a few new pieces of glass.

I'm looking forward to using these for a week long AFL carnival in October.

Cheers

No good for me, I use RRS "L" - bracket system,
.....appreciate soft wide neck strap(s)
