These are well-made functional straps and are stylish. I've gotten so many compliments since getting them already. Depending on my assignment, I can switch between the solo and the dual strap system quickly. I love the brown and dark color scheme as well. Kudos to Holdfast for another great gear.

So I bought this I have not got to do a wedding as of yet but I did do a engagement shoot at the LA museum

One week in, one trip to the southwest down.

This bag is a LOT, but not quite everything.

Pros: Really, really good looking bag. I got LOTS of compliments traveling with it. I could sling a camera while wearing the backpack and that is amazing! It's incredibly well-made (as I've come to expect with HoldFast). I love the exterior pockets - especially the pouch in front for holding a laptop. The strap padding is really, really comfortable. The interior bottom has the same wool lining, to cushion your gear - nice touch!

Cons - well, it's a long list. Or maybe these aren't cons so much as heads up:

The bag is heavy; empty it feels like a few pounds. So when you add gear it really becomes a heft to tote. I didn't enjoy it on a hike, so I left it behind, which kind of defeats the purpose of having the bag in the first place? I dunno. I still think I'll use it for travel as it's such a good looking, rugged bag.

It's also, weirdly, not super-user friendly. I thought I would like a backpack that was more like a traditional backpack. But that means there's no quick way to get to your gear! I guess I'd gotten used to my Manfrotto that I can throw on the ground, unzip all around and open up to my lenses, etc. And the lack of internal dividers means you need something in there to keep your cameras and lenses from slamming into each other. I borrowed my Fjallvern insert and tried that. But it was a TIGHT fit. And since I was using the Explorer bag for travel, it was hard to get everything to work, since I needed my laptop and phone, wallet, makeup, etc. for my flights. Not a deal breaker, but I have a lot of kinks to work out to make this really useable. AND, I will be spending some more money - how much? on things to hold the cameras and lenses safely inside the main cavity.

I think the biggest con is the ordering process! I don't mind waiting for something handmade to order. However, there's just not enough information on the website, and what's there is not self-explanatory. Did i need to order two or three holders? Unclear! I would have really liked some images of the bag in its different configuration. As it turns out, I'm not sure I would ever hang more than one camera from it at a time.

This tracks back to the main issue of the bag for me: it's HUGE but not useably so. I'm a smallish human, so the bag is wider than me, and taller than my torso and yet, I can't carry THAT much in it (because of the lack of internal dividers and the heavy, heavy nature of the canvass and leather.

However, all that said, I really really like this bag. And I think I'll enjoy it for a very long time.

I originally requested a different brand for a Christmas gift and got it and was so disappointed. Functionally difficult and quality was just okay. So I quickly returned and ordered the Holdfast solo harness and was immediately impressed and elated. It wears comfortably, and looks amazing. I have found my forever harness.

It came as expected.Couldn't be better.Quality,Comfort anf Security was really Important, and so it all is.

It is a very high quality product and very robust. I'm very happy to finally have the original camera harness!!! : ) It's just a shame they don't have a dealer here in Portugal. Otherwise, I'm very happy with my purchase!

10 years ago I got myself the double camera strap money maker in the buffalo. It served me so well for professional wedding photography holding heavy dslr. Never an issue.

I of course had to get the lariat strap for the Fujifilm x100vi. It adjusts so easily and fits nicely on the body, the leather is good quality. Holdfast just doesnt miss. I wouldn’t trust any other straps for my gear and I look like a cool gunslinger.

Im a big believer on buy right buy once and that fits this product perfectly.

I love my buttero leather eagle feather 🪶

I have been using a set of HF Moneymaker for over ten years and still rocking it. Words from my Wife are that I look hot when I wear them:):)- The new pair I just got is my 2nd pair in a different color. FIVE+++ STARS!

Long time fun of Money Maker and wanted to update my gear with a beautiful design. When I received it, I was amazed with the finish of the belt.

Just received my new wallet and absolutely love it. Material and craftsmanship is top notch, would recommend to anyone even thinking about it.

Potentially need to buy this to attach QD preferred hardware, but I can’t see the mechanism/back side of the strap in your product photos, or find any online, to see if I like the design.

Very frustrating. Please show all sides of the product in your product photos.

Thanks!

I bought the Hold Fast camera system as my son's Christmas and birthday gift. He was so pleased! The water Buffalo leather was worth the extra cost.

The adjustable straps are a nobrain choice when you get a Quiver. It’s an amazing product, well made hand crafted.
