Introduction to the Cotton Carrier StrapShot Camera Carrying System

Cotton Carrier Camera System is pleased to announce a revolutionary way to carry one or two cameras of any size and weight. All the strain and pain placed on a photographer’s neck and shoulder is completely eliminated with the camera "locked" securely into place, but instantly available. Perfect for all kinds of photographers, the Cotton Carrier camera bags, camera slings, camera vests and camera holsters will appeal to news photographers, sports photographers, wedding photographers and "active" shooters including mountain bikers, mountain climbers and snow boarders. Travel photographers who are typically out and about all day benefit from the freedom from any fatigue created across the neck and shoulders. Whether novice or pro, young or old, male or female, this broad spectrum of customers have enjoyed the Cotton Carrier's ability to allow them to have both hands free, with no swinging camera dangling off their neck.

"Attending photography shows, I am always thrilled to put a Cotton Carrier onto a person and watch their face light up as I place my heavy Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 100 - 400 mm lens onto the Camera Vest," says Grant Vetters, Advertising & Marketing Director at Cotton Carrier. "I can't feel the weight of the camera," is the common reaction from most people. With most cameras and lenses weighing 4 to 12 pounds, this cumbersome weight is evenly distributed around the torso unnoticeably, not the neck. The weight distribution is so effective that many photographers with neck or back injuries have been able to comfortably pursue their passion for photography. Cotton Carrier's patented mounting system utilizes a hard anodized aluminum hub that attaches to the bottom of your camera. By simply sliding the camera into the receptacle on the Camera Vest camera bag or the Carry-Lite Belt camera sling system, the camera is "locked" into place for secure camera carrying. A Universal Tripod Adapter Plate is available which enables photographers to use their Arca-Swiss compatible (Kirk, RRS, Wimberly) or Manfrotto tripods, allowing them to move straight from the Cotton Carrier to their tripod in an instant. Cotton Carrier Camera Systems can be purchased through their website and throughout many camera stores across North America and worldwide.

The Cotton Carrier Camera System involves moving parts that must be maintained periodically. Install and, using the included Tightening Tool, tighten the Camera Hub as tightly as possible, as this is what keeps your camera securely attached to your Cotton Carrier. Check it until you are satisfied it is not loosening through the turning action of the camera.

As well as confirming the condition of both the Camera Hub and Camera Receptacle for any signs of wear or damage, keep both the Lexan Camera Receptacle and Camera Hub clean and free of any grit and debris, and clean it regularly as you would with any camera component.
