Cabelas have a variety to choose from, just check the style you would prefer. All seem to work reasonably well. I have two bino harnesses (1 for Binos and 1 for range finder) and they are great. I bought one pair in Wollongong and the other from Cabelas when I was in the states last.

I got one for my binos a few months ago, saw them advertised in the BHDU mag, they are fantastic and I wouldn't be without one, well worth the money.

GlennMac,
I wear both harnesses at the same time, they are different styles so don't interfere with each other, The one on my rangefinder tends to hold the binos lower, (it's like a normal strap with elastic straps that go around your side) and the other is like a cross over style??

I wear the rangerfinder down low, probably around my navel and have the binos sitting up higher on my chest. I have them positioned so they don't touch and the harnesses keep them tight to the body so that they don't move when you are bent over. I can also use either instantly without fouling with the other

and there is a picture of me with a rusa doe that shows the ragefinder on a harness and see how low it sits, the binos sit up at breast level ( I didn't have them when I shot the doe)

Would it work for a digi camera?

Should do, the one i have has these small little split ring things. They just clip straight to your Bino or camera in your case. They are elastic stretchy material.

Yep thats what it uses - split rings and zip ties with elastic straps, adjustable for ride comfort.

Yes Luke I have one here for ya :lol:

I didn't use the zip ties on mine. I just used the split ring things. Seems a little tacky with zip ties.
