Back Pack Harness System

[Andrew McCarrick]

Anybody know of any backpack systems to hold a camera facing the wearer of the backpack.

I was looking at the EasyRig Systems (http://www.easyrig.com/) but they use a piece of rope, not any real mounting system to the rod coming off the backpack. We're just going to be mounting SI-2K Minis on it, so we don't to have anything that holds more than about 2 pounds.

How heavy is the camera you are trying to rig.

It's the Silicon Imaging SI-2K Mini, about 2 pounds (without a lens).

Going to be putting a wide (10-12mm) 35mm or 16mm (FOV equivalent) lens on it.

Nobody? I just need something that would let me freely position the camera and then leave it. I don't want a rope because it'll swing. We just need it fixed in one position (but freely moveable to place it where it needs to be) looking back at the wearer.
