After using dual-camera harnesses since 2011, I compared HoldFast, Clever Supply Co, 3 Legged Thing, and Spider. My preference comes down to how a harness handles two cameras, a camera bag, and a full working day.

HoldFast and Clever Supply Co
The HoldFast leather system served me for years and felt robust, but I found the newer version bulky and noisy for my needs. The Clever Supply Co harness felt like an upgrade for my workflow. I liked its leather and Peak Design connections, although the limited adjustment of the camera-holding straps was a drawback for me.
What I liked about 3 Legged Thing
The 3 Legged Thing system distributes weight well, and I was impressed by its rotating quick-disconnect hardware and Arca-compatible plates. The thicker harness was less suitable for my wedding routine, and its continuous strap could bunch up when I put a camera into my bag. I could still see myself using one side for a single-camera session.
Why my Spider setup became the favorite
The Spider harness gave me the adjustment I wanted, including strap length and fit across my back. However, the original connectors on my unit were sticking, so my final setup used 3 Legged Thing quick-disconnect fittings sewn onto the straps, plus an added front strap. That distinction matters: my recommendation in the video is based on this modified combination, not an unmodified harness.
Choose around your working routine
A harness that works well for sports or a single camera may feel different while carrying two cameras and a shoulder bag all day. My priorities were easy access, rotation, adjustability, and avoiding tangled straps. The video shows how each system behaves with my actual kit.
