    Bino harness suggestions

    Looking for bino harness suggestions, more specifically something that you can easily add or carry other devices on.
    I currently have a badlands and whilst I love it, they don’t seem the best option for carrying other devices on.
    The bushbuck one seems kinda of cool with a range finder and ammo pouch underneath the main bino compartment but I haven’t seen one in person. Anyone have any experience with these or have any other suggestions.
    Atm I am looking to carry a range finder and light weight bipod on my harness with binos.
    Cheers

    Twin Needle. You’ll fit binos and a rangefinder and Bipod in the separated back section. I run 10x42 EL’s and Sig Rangefinder and a diamond stone in the back bit no worries.
    Those bushbuck ones will fit all your stuff and more they’re bloody big and bulky like having a day bag on your chest

    Another one for the twineedle. I have tried many brands and found their one the best by far. I have Binos and range finder inside the bag. PLB attached to one side, and spare knife and sharpener attached to the other. I won’t be changing any time soon.

    I rate my Kuiu harness. Best I have used for low profile simplicity and ease of use getting binos in/out a lot etc. Haven’t used twin needle but plenty of people obviously rate it.

    Has Kuiu enclosed the rear of their bino harness now? I had one of the original models and thought it was great until one particular day of bush bashing and climbing through scree and matagouri and took my binos out to find sticks and matgouri spikes and little stones and all sorts rattling around in the bottom giving my ELs a good old scratch up

    Yeah I like mine - I was going to buy a TwinNeedle one but picked up an as new second-hand Kuiu one nice and cheap. No magnets/zips/etc and really compact. The harness is really comfy and unobtrusive under a day pack.

    Also running a Twinneedle bino harness, totally rate it. Add pouches with mole as required (I've got a slim pouch on the front that is perfect for the little extra items).

    I've got a hunters element bino defender, it is fine for the binos but it's a challenge putting anything else in there like a snack bar, range finder etc.

    Also the magnetic catches tend to f*** up your compass so just be aware of that

    Twin Needle, has range finder on side, have added another pouch on the front on occassion and my hip flask slips in the back pocket. Also room for cell phone which makes easy access to NZ topo on line and for photos etc.
