Nancy and Patrick Elwood

For many years Nancy has been an avid nature photographer.
Long (and heavy) lenses do go
hand in hand with ambitious
Wildlife Photography.
While using a tripod Nancy was
always looking for an alternative
that would  make it more easy to
use the equipment and to be more
flexible when tracking wildlife.
And she had the right guy to talk
to.

Patrick, her husband, happens to
be an engineer and started to
take notes.  Soon after he created the first prototype of the Quick Action Harness.
Nancy loved it right away and they decided to create the harness in a manner that it is
adjustable to basically every user – tall or small.
A year and 6 protoypes later the Quick Action Harness was born and found buyers in the US
and abroad.
High quality materials and expertly crafted the harness weighs just under 6.0 lbs and offers a
great alternative to Tripods and monopods.  Because we manufacture the QAH in our on workshop, it can be customized easily.  It’s intuitive, easy to use and enables the user
to walk around even with the heaviest of lenses without tiring fast.
