Lowepro Harness

After a weeks hiking and photography in south Wales, my Dad and I are considering the lowepro S+F harness as an improvement to our current rigs (consisting of a padded workbelt with toploader bags attached).

Lowepro claim that it can only be used with their deluxe belt, which at £30 for something we essentially already have seems a bit steep. Does anyone have one of these harnesses and do you know if it would attach sensibly to a normal padded toolbelt?

cheers all

I don't think so. If you look carefully at these two images, you'll notice the rear strap of the harness attaches to a strap on the back of the belt (directly in the centre). Without this same strap & ring attachment on your belt, you would have no method to attach the rear strap for the harness.

By the way, since a camera bag is real tough on the shoulders, I'm considering the same setup to carry my gear. So do please let me know how well this belt/harness combination works in the real world - and how people react when they see you walking down a city street wearing this.
