Made for comfort, speed, stealth, and versatility, the SLINGBELT Camera Carrying System from Cotton Carrier is a great addition to your kit.  Designed for a single DSLR, mirrorless, or compact camera with a lens attached, there are a variety of compaibile accessories you can use with this carrying system for other gear.

The belt's unisex design fits waists measuring up to 54", and the wide belt and landing area for the camera help distribute the weight on your hips for all-day wear. An anodized aluminum mounting hub attaches to your camera's tripod mount. The hub is inserted into the SLINGBELT via a quiet twist and lock system that secures your gear on your hip and prevents it from falling or being pulled off. The mounting hub is also equipped with its own 1/4"-20 socket, so you can still use a tripod or monopod without having to remove the hub, saving time and effort. For extra gear security, a SLING TETHER is provided that runs cross-body and attaches to your camera's strap ring, so you'll be able to use your camera naturally with the safety of a tether to protect against drops or theives. For added convenience, a rain cover is included to protect your valuable gear if the weather takes a turn.

Q: 1. Will this work if I have a battery grip attached?

A: Yes, a end-user must be mindful when adding more weight to the cotton carrier system.

Q: 2. Does this fit a D500 and Nikkor 200-500 mm lens?Also, when not using for steady shot, does this function as a carrier harness, as well?

A: 1. I use it for D80 with Sigma 300-600, so it should be fine with your rig.2. Yes, it functions as an excellent camera harness, super comfortable and convenient. In fact, I do not use steady shot much, but I never go shooting with my telephoto without the vest -- the lens is too heavy to carry around my neck for more than an hour, with the vest I can walk and shoot all day long.

Q: 3. Hands free camera strap

A: Theoreticaly maybe, but have not seen any one useing it that way, always one hand on camera when shooting.

Q: 4. What else is needed to attach to the camera to use this belt?

A: Mounting hardware is listed under the "In The Box" section on our website as included with the purchase of the Cotton Carrier SLINGBELT 1-Camera Carrying System with Tether. However, if you need replacement mounting hardware, the Cotton Carrier CCS Flat Camera Hub Single Kit, B&H # CO300CIK, would work for your usage needs to connect your camera to the SLINGBELT.

Q: 5. Could I wear this vest with a backpack on top or would it interfere with it?

A: You could most likely wear a backpack with it without interfering with it. There shouldn't be any reason why it would get in the way of you using the Steady Shot, and if you're using a very heavy lens+camera combo on it, the backpack might help balance you instead of hinder you.

Q: 6. Will This work with a Nikon 800mm fl Ed 5.6 lens?

A: The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR Lens (B&H # NI80056) has not been tested with the Cotton Carrier Steady Shot with Camera Vest. According to the manufacturer, a 600mm lens will place your weight forward and for some, it becomes a bit awkward. While they suggest that the system will not fail, it may not be ideal as it becomes a matter of comfort.

Q: 7. What would be needed to attach this to a peak design travel tripod?

A: The Cotton Carrier SLINGBELT 1-Camera Carrying System with Tether is designed to carry cameras an not made to carry tripod.

Q: 8. I'm 5'4 female with a Nikon D810 and 500mm lens. Will this work on a Botswana safari where the vehicles are open and a bean bag would be useless and a monopod might be difficult?

A: I am 5'4 and have a nikon D750. I used the vest on a recent trip to the arctic. It was wonderful for securing the camera with the 70-200mm lens when I was getting in and out of the zodiac boats or when we were in rough waters and it takes the weight of the camera off your neck when you are out shooting for hours. The steady shot was an okay replacement for a tripod in tight or rough shooting conditions, but it is subject to the movement of your body. Use a fast shutter speed and a high ISO and you will need to keep your hands on the camera, especially with a big lens. I haven't tried it with my 500mm lens as I just bought that one.

Q: 9. Can this be comfortably worn while wearing the Cotton Carrier Steady Shot with Camera Vest to carry a second camera?

A: Yes, the following system's were designed to work with each other.

Q: 10. have a nikon z611 with 70-200 lens also teleconverter..not to long for the sling belt?

A: A Nikon Z6 II with a Z 70-200mm and a teleconverter would be fine to mount to this product, being that the hub would be placed on the tripod ring of your lens.
