Title: For carrying a camera on you when you ride
Post by texpug on Oct 17^th, 2012, 9:40am

There are times when I want to carry my big a** Nikon SLR camera when I ride. These cannot be described as "handy" no matter how hard you try. They are heavy, cumbersome, and just a pain to wrestle. But goodness at the photo quality.

I saw a photo of Larry Varney (BROL fame) and he had a binocular harness on with his camera attached. Hmmm. So I ordered a cheapie off eBay, and WOW my socks are knocked off!!! This is going to be PERFECT for riding with one of these dinosaur cameras on me!!! When I go ride the Timpoochee Trail in a couple of weeks, now I can [i][b]comfortably[b][i] ride with a camera!!! And the San Diego Zoo in February is going to be a WHOLE LOT EASIER on me now! Add this to the list of Christmas gift ideas for the photo bug rider on the list!!!

It is one similar to this:

They make them in all price ranges. Since I wanted to see if it would work well for me (Larry Varney recommended them to me. Others had recommended a REAL pricey job and I went with the cheap stuff to see if it would do. It DID!) I went cut rate. It's kind of like a mousetrap -- it isn't rocket science so why pay out the ears for something that simple will work just as well?
