Product details

Size & Fit

Fit is based on HEIGHT & BROADNESS. The ideal carrying position of the MoneyMaker is for the strap to fall about 4" below the armpit so the cameras stay high on the body.

SMALL= Height of 5'7" (170 cm) and below (if you are broad/built then size up)

MEDIUM= Height between 5'8"-6'2" (173 - 188 cm) (if you are slender then size down, broad or built size up)

LARGE= Height of 6'3" (191 cm) and above OR wear extra large clothing (if you are slender then size down)

Materials & Care

The shoulder pad is designed to handle the load of heavier cameras with ease and comfort. The included stabilizer strap keeps that shoulder pad in place. A front d ring attachment point for use with our Sightseer Cell pouches or other gear like sun glasses.

And here's what really sets this strap apart, the included Belt Anchor. Attach this little gem to any belt, or one of ours for a perfect match, and now your camera stays put where you want it (no swinging forward or flopping around) until you're ready to shoot. A quick tug will release the camera when you're ready to shoot, and when you're done, you can quickly and easily attach it back to he belt using only one hand.

Be completely hands free with full mobility on your adventures with your camera, until you see the image, then break free and get the shot! High comfort and high performance, the MoneyMaker Solo is the perfect companion for single camera shooters.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What is the security like for attached cameras?

We have three major features that keep the camera safe.

  1. The Camera HoldFast is the screw that mounts to the tripod mount at the base of the camera. This screw has a one-of-a-kind locking mechanism built into the threading of the screw. You’ll notice that it seems hard to screw in, keep going as this is the mechanism working!
  2. The sailboat clip outlined in the question "How safe is my camera from falling?" is a locking clip. It's very safe and extremely fast to operate.
  3. Each clip comes with an optional safety strap. The user can choose to use it or remove it. It connects at the base of the clip and to the side lug mount of the camera. This bypasses any part of the system that has potential to fail.
What if I live in a tropical environment?

This is a great question! Tropical environments can cause the metals to rust and the leather to dry out if the MoneyMaker is not maintained. This is easy to avoid though, simply make sure to wipe the metals dry when you put away your MoneyMaker after a shoot. If rust does occur we recommend using Blue Magic to clean away rust and protect against it happening again. There are a few other rust removers that work great as well. Conditioning the leather once a year is also a good idea!

Do I have to take the camera off when I'm shooting?

No, the camera slides right up into position when you’re ready to take a photo.

Will the Bridle leather soften over time?

Yes, it's like a fine boot. The more you wear it, the more it molds to your body thus giving you an optimum fit. After a couple uses you’ll already notice how soft the leather becomes.

Will the leather stain my clothes?

As with all colored leather there is the possibility of staining if the leather gets completely soaked. Our Bridle leathers are completely natural at the base, which is the side against your clothes, so it is impossible for these to stain. The American Bison MoneyMakers are lined with cream glove leather so color run is not an issue. Water Buffalo can at times stain, but varies from person to person.

How safe is my camera from falling?

Very safe! The main clip design is based on the clip that is used to attach the sail to a boat. These clips have to be extremely strong to support the full wind pressure exerted on a sail. However, if the ropes get tangled the crew needs to be able to unclip and untangle very quickly and get it re-attached without missing a beat. I modified these clips to add a swivel, a longer pin draw and a stronger spring that all makes this clip even more durable.

Each clip also has a removable safety strap. This strap connects at the base of the clip and to the side lug mount of the camera, bypassing the screw and clip thus ensuring that if you had any malfunction you’d still be clipped in. Our straps are not intended for use in climbing or other extreme shooting situations.
