Camera Harnesses and Harness Equipment
Tips & Advice to help you make your decision on Camera Harnesses and Harness Equipment
Selling camera harnesses and harness equipment can give your shop an edge over the competition. Whether you own a photography store, process film, or sell a wide range of products, you need something that sets you apart from your competitors. Harnesses are not something that your average store sells, which gives you a boost over big box stores like Target and Wal-Mart.
Customers looking for those specialty items often turn to the Internet, which comes with its own host of problems. The customers cannot try on the harness and make sure it fits. Customers are also stuck paying hefty shipping and handling charges. Selling the products yourself appeals to those customers and opens up a new base.
You can even advertise the harnesses to local newspapers and television studios. Television studios use reporters and cameras to capture stills for websites. Newspapers use similar photos in every edition. Reporters need the equipment because it lets them carry more pieces and distributes the weight evenly, while leaving their hands free for the camera. Market your shop to anyone who uses a camera for professional or personal uses.

Camera Harnesses and Harness Equipment Key Terms
Terms you'll run into when shopping for camera harnesses and harness equipmentBy M. Worcester Camera harnesses are a combination of straps and bags used to carry camera gear. They can be just for carrying the equipment when it isn't in use, or they can have an attachment that allows you to waer the camera in order to make it easy to take pictures and video while walking, cycling, skiing or doing other activities that make it hard to hold a camera.
There are several types of harnesses you might consider, including a shoulder harness, a backpack harness, a vest harness and a waistbelt harness. Accessories and bags attach to these harnesses using several types of attachments, including the SlipLock system and the Tri-Glide system of attachments.
Shoulder harness
A shoulder harness is a simple set of straps that goes over the shoulder, making it easy to carry a bag with heavy camera gear. Shoulder harnesses resemble a backpack but have no waist strap, so the shoulders and back handle the weight.

Backpack harness
A backpack harness is worn like a backpack and has a support with a connector that screws into the tripod attachment of a camera. It's especially useful for taking video while moving, making it easier to control and keep the camera stable.
