BlackRapid Double-X Extra Comfort Camera Harness
The BlackRapid Double-X Extra Comfort Camera Harness is a dual-camera harness designed for photographers who need two bodies ready at their sides for long stretches of shooting.

FAQs:
How does the Double-X carry two cameras?
It is worn like a backpack, with one camera hanging from each shoulder strap. The cameras sit upside down at the left and right hips, which keeps them close to hand and makes it quicker to bring either body up to shoot.
Is it comfortable enough for long wedding or event jobs?
The harness is designed for long shooting days. BlackRapid uses extra-thick padding with TPE foam and polyester air mesh, and the larger shoulder pads help spread the weight more evenly across the back and shoulders during longer sessions.
What keeps the cameras from swinging around too much?
The harness uses sliding cam-locks on the webbings to limit excess movement, and it also includes a sternum strap at the front plus a rear stabilising strap. Together, those features help keep the whole setup more controlled when you are walking or working quickly.
How do the cameras attach to the harness?
Each camera connects using a locking carabiner attached to one of the included FR-5 fasteners, which screw into the camera’s 1/4"-20 tripod mount. BlackRapid also includes safety tethers, giving each camera a second point of contact for added reassurance.
Who is this harness best suited to?
It makes the most sense for photographers regularly working with two camera bodies at once, especially at weddings, sports events, and fast-moving jobs where changing lenses would slow you down. If you tend to carry one camera most of the time, it is probably more harness than you need, but for dual-body shooting it is built around that way of working.
