I often carry both of my 30D / 5D on me when i shoot. Usually both around my neck and it often choke me. I hate to carry one on neck and one on shoulder. I'm too affaid the shoulder strap will just slip off when i'm running around like a mad man.
Is there such harness to safely carry both camera with out fear of it falling off your body.
I was thinking...
1) Maybe i can get one of those shirt that has the shoulder tab with button like in the military. Just unbutton and place shoulder strap in and button it back. Probably doesn't look very nice for wedding events.
2) One body around the neck and one around the hip. Like a gun holder for my 2nd body. haha
Please let me know if you aware of such thing.
Cheers,
Lam

I do the neck/shoulder thing and have never dropped my cameras. With that said, a friend of mine purchased a binocular harness at Gander Mountain, an area sporting goods chain, and uses it with his DSLR at sporting events.

Maybe I should start thinking/holding my shoulder camera more because the one around my neck isn't going anywhere.
Good idea on using binocular harness but that would have both of my camera bang on each other. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home;jsessionid=Gc3yf9zHK1!1469300675!117628708071 5?ci=1&sb=ps&pn=1&sq=desc&InitialSearch=yes&O=MyAccount.jsp&A=search&Q=*&bhs=t&shs=binocular+harness&image.x=9&image.y=9

I carry the lighter of the cameras around the neck and the other across the shoulder. It is hard to move them around at times when I also have my bag on and a purse. Needless to say, I will someday ditch the purse. I have the two cameras with the POTN strap, which is quite comfy. It really has never been a problem when done right.
