H717 + H163
|
[H163 or H167] Suspender Adapter for H717 X-harness
If you only need something to hold your belt up, then choose the H344 above. If you need to carry a camera on your chest and also want suspenders, then choose the H717 + H163. If you want a super heavy-duty 4-point suspender solution, then choose the H717 + H167, but carrying a heavy camera in front is problematic with this configuration.
More Info on H163 (3-point suspender -- best choice)
More Info on H167 (only works when you are NOT carrying a camera on the H717)

Other Options Instead of a Harness

[Y315] Padded Shoulder Strap, $ 9.00

Effective November 2004, we renamed our K-series harnesses with an "H" prefix, (K250 became H250, K160 became H160 etc.).
H-series & old K-series are completely compatible, only the name has changed.
Packframes (formerly called K560, K570 etc.) are now on the
P-Series (Packs) page. |
