but sceptical that they really work
Works really well tbh. Keeps it very secure and I've experienced no rotation or bouncing with my home made effort.
It does hang down a bit yes when not attached, but I find it pretty easy to just reach around (ahem) and grab it, and clip it together with no issues. (with the karibina I sometimes just clip it to the side join if I know I'm going to be taking a few photos in a row, keeps it out the way, then easy to undo and return back around the front of the chest for when I'll be riding for a while again).
Thinking of making one of these, but sceptical that they really work:
So, generally, you have a cross chest strap, attached either end to the camera, then a secondary strap, which buckles up near your chest and the other end also attaches to the camera.
But - once you undo the secondary buckle, doesnt that strap hang down, get in the way and then when you want to do it back up, you have to perform a reverse reach around to get to it?
@fishcat - where did you buy your buckle from?
