PRO 2N1 Arca compatible Dual Camera Harness - Black

The Vanguard PRO 2N1 STRAP is a professional dual camera harness designed for photographers who need to carry and use up to two professional cameras throughout demanding, fast-moving assignments. Spreading the weight across both shoulders, it positions a camera comfortably at each hip over extended periods, so that two different camera and lens combinations remain close at hand and ready for immediate use.

This makes the PRO 2N1 STRAP particularly well suited to wedding, event, sports and documentary photography, where changing lenses can take too long and carrying a second camera in a bag may mean missing an important moment. With both cameras securely supported by the harness, you can move naturally between camera bodies and respond quickly as the scene changes.

Carrying two professional cameras for several hours can place considerable strain on the neck and shoulders. The PRO 2N1 STRAP uses a balanced, backpack-style harness with two padded shoulder sections, an adjustable sternum strap and a rear connecting strap. Together, these features spread the load across the upper body and help keep the harness stable while you walk, work or change position.

The strap length can be adjusted to suit the photographer and the equipment being carried, allowing each camera to rest at a comfortable height against the hip. This keeps your cameras within easy reach while helping prevent them from swinging excessively as you move.

Adjustable cam buckles can be used to control the position of each camera. They are particularly useful when walking between locations, bending down or working in crowded environments, helping to keep expensive equipment in position until it is needed.

The cameras are attached using Vanguard’s Quick Detach Locking System. This is a universal Arca compatible quick release connection that allows you to choose the most comfortable setup for your shoot with ease

The Quick Detach Locking System splits into three sections. The system includes two Arca compatible QS-38H quick release plates (or you can use your own Arca compatible plate) that attaches to the thread in the base of your cameras. There is an additional locking screw in this quick release plate, but if you choose to use this, please take care not to damage the base of your camera.

There is then a slim, lightweight clamp that locks onto the base of the quick release plate, in the same way as you would attach the quick release plate to an Arca compatible tripod. This also includes a safety pin that adds security in case the clamp is not properly tightened, though please note that it is designed to work with the Vanguard quick release plates provided and may not work effectively with other brands quick release plates.

This clamp then attaches to the PRO 2N1 STRAP using the aluminium strap connector with a push button connection system for quick attachment and release, while delivering a secure hold that is rated to 150kg based on Vanguard’s vertical hanging test, or 30kg when dropped 25cm. *

Two Connect Safety Tethers are supplied to provide a secondary connection between the harness and each camera to add another layer of security and reassurance when carrying valuable professional camera and lens combinations.

The Connect Safety Tethers are attached to each strap, with the Connect Tether attached to the camera strap eyelet. This can then be attached and released from the Connect Clip DLX with ease, while helping keep your valuable camera safe. This tether system is rated to 90kg based on Vanguard’s vertical hanging test, or 20kg when dropped 25cm. *

Having the ability to swap cameras in an instant is a great option, keeping the spare camera safely attached to harness. This is the core role of the PRO 2N1 STRAP. Simply move the front cam buckle up the strap to allow the camera to be raised easily and you’re good to go.

Sometimes the harness strap can limit your movement, especially in fast moving environments. The PRO 2N1 STRAP allows you to release the camera from the harness in seconds. Simply press in the two buttons on the aluminium strap connector and unclip the Connect Tether from the Connect Clip DLX. This allows you full, unrestrained movement to follow the action. To reattach, simple press in the buttons and clip the camera back into the aluminium strap connector and reattach the Connect Tether.

Alternatively you may want to use a tripod, whether it’s for a group shot or a long lens. Simply loosen the clamp onto your Arca compatible quick shoe and the camera is ready to attach to your tripod.

Although designed primarily as a two-camera harness, the PRO 2N1 STRAP can be separated and used to carry a single professional camera. This gives photographers the flexibility to adapt the strap to different assignments rather than carrying separate single and dual camera systems.

Use the complete harness when you need two camera and lens combinations available at the same time, or convert it to a single camera sling for lighter shooting days, travel or less equipment-intensive assignments.

At approximately 430g, the PRO 2N1 provides a substantial dual-camera carrying system without adding unnecessary weight to the photographer’s equipment. Its maximum adjustable length of approximately 1780mm helps accommodate different body sizes, clothing layers and preferred camera positions.

Whether photographing a wedding, sporting event, live performance or fast-moving assignment, the Vanguard PRO 2N1 STRAP keeps up to two Pro Full Frame or APSC cameras comfortably supported, securely connected and ready for the next shot, whether it’s handheld or on a tripod.

* Please note the test results do not indicate the approved maximum load capacity as other factors can impact this, but they do highlight the strength of the product relative to the camera kit they are expected to support.
