Camofreak Report post Posted October 9, 2015 How many of you use a harness for your 15's? I have an XL kuiu harness, but i feel like it's more of a hassle when you keep taking them and putting them on and off a tripod. I rather just keep my 15's in my pack, is that weird? Or do you use your 15's for everything, even in the thick stuff? I would rather just get a large and keep my 10's on my chest when I use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ RANGER Report post Posted October 9, 2015 I have the kuiu harness too and it is a total PIA every time you transfer from the harness to the tripod and back. I use 12's for handheld and tripod glassing so just one pair but I kinda miss the days of pulling the 15s out of the pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kwp Report post Posted October 10, 2015 I'm not sure why you think its a hassle. Two buckles and the binos are free from the harness, then right onto the tripod. I have the outdoorsman tripod adapter so that step is quick too. Are you wanting to leave your tripod adapter attached to the binos? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Camofreak Report post Posted October 10, 2015 I have an outdoorsmans adapter as well, it's fits perfect in the case still attached to the adapter. Once you undo the buckles then you pretty much need to take off the harness and then when you're ready to leave you have to put it back together and back on. I guess I'm just difficult, and always in a hurry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ RANGER Report post Posted October 10, 2015 ^^ Same problem as above. Once you undo the two buckles the neck harness falls behind your back. You either have to be really flexible or take the harness off to put it back together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coues7 Report post Posted October 10, 2015 AZ Ranger nailed it. The KUIU pack could be so much better. I would love it if KUIU would modify the harness with some extra straps that went down to the "basket" so that you could remove the binos and glass with them without having the whole harness fall off. They also need an additional strap that can hook onto a belt loop at the very back of your pants. The harness as is still hikes up on your neck. Their harness is great but the perfect one still hasn't been mass produced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have it in front of me right now but I believe both buckles on the neck harness are female. The ones that go around your chest are male/female but not the neck straps. Also even if they were able to buckle together I think it would be pretty tight around your throat. Overall I like the harness but I need to customuze it to fix this problem.

Camofreak Report post Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah exactly. I've just been using the kuiu case to keep my 15's in. Harness part just stays at home. One day the perfect case will come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcdinaz Report post Posted October 11, 2015 I carried my 12's on the tripod all weekend this weekend. I have the Kuiu case and the suspender type and get tired of taking them on and off for the tripod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
