Unlike an ordinary camera strap, the WillCAD harness puts the weight of a large camera on your shoulders, not your neck, distributing the weight evenly to both the left and right sides of the body while holding it securely, even when your hands are away from the camera. But when adjusted correctly, the harness allows easy shooting from both the horizontal and vertical positions.

Made from super-tough 2" wide polypropelene strapping and plastic fixtures, the WillCAD harness has no metal pieces to scratch or scuff your camera, no sharp edges to poke you while wearing it, and is fully size-adjustable for maximum comfort.

The WillCAD harness comes standard with foam shoulder pads, D-ring attachment loops that fit standard 5/8" camera strap slots, and snap swivels which allow the camera to be quickly and easily detached from the harness.

| Other "camera" harness systems on the market are actually designed for use with binoculars, not heavy SLR cameras. Made from thinner, 1" straps and lacking shoulder pads, these harnesses can dig painfully into the shoulders when used with a heavy camera and are uncomfortable for long-term wear. The WillCAD harness, with its 2" straps and shoulder pads, is comfortable enough for all-day wear while walking, hiking, or enjoying your favorite theme parks. |

The harness works best if it's snug. The snap hooks should be at stomach level, allowing the camera to hang just about at belt level or slightly above. But don't tighten it too much - you should have just enough slack to pivot the harness up and bring the camera to your eye in either the horizontal or vertical shooting position.
When you raise your camera to take a shot, the entire harness is meant to rotate up around your shoulders. If you try to leave the harness seated on your shoulders and just use the slack on the snap hooks to raise the camera, you will have trouble getting it up to your eye. Don't be afraid to let the whole thing move around a little.
Since the entire harness is meant to pivot when you take a shot, weighing the harness down by attaching cell phones, additional lenses, or other heavy gear to it wil weigh it down and probably bump you when you take a shot.
Although there there is enough slack to shoot vertical pictures with both snaps attached, I have found that if I am shooting vertical while seated, or shooting a picture of something high overhead, or if I have to twist myself around a little to align the camera, it is helpful to unsnap the right side.
When sitting down for a meal, I leave the harness on but take the camera off and put it on the table, rather than taking the whole thing off.
