How do you carry your binoculars? If you’re like most folks, in your hands or around your neck, but there is a better way. Most people who bird watch and hunt professionally already know about these must have accessories, but there are still a lot of people who could benefit from using them who don’t. Binocular harnesses work by positioning the binoculars in the center of your chest and the weight of the binoculars on your shoulders. This makes it easy to put the binoculars into use quickly, and makes even large heavy binoculars easier to carry. I’ve carried a pair of binoculars similar to these Nikon 7×50 oceanpro binoculars for several hours on a binocular harness. Not only was it comfortable, they were also easy to put into use. Binocular harnesses can also work for SLR cameras, making them easier to carry for longer periods of time. Most with the exception of Steiner binocular harness, most binocular harnesses are cross compatible, meaning you don’t need a specific harness. The harnesses typically have nylon straps and a cross peace in the back. Here are two examples from Zeiss and Swarovski just to name two. If you’re looking for the best way to carry your binocular or SLR camera and keep them easily accessible, a binocular harness is the way to go. That’s the word from sportoptics.com.
