Product Overview
The Think Tank Pixel Racing Harness V3.0 is an adjustable shoulder strap and harness system designed to enhance comfort and weight distribution for photographers carrying camera gear. It is intended to be used in conjunction with an optional Think Tank belt system.
Key features include:
- Designed for both enthusiasts and professionals.
- Adjustable straps for a customized and secure fit.
- Optimized for weight distribution to reduce strain during extended use.
- Compatible with Think Tank belt systems for modular gear attachment.
Assembly and Initial Setup
Follow these steps to properly assemble and set up your Pixel Racing Harness V3.0:
- Unpack the Harness: Carefully remove the harness from its packaging. Lay it flat to identify all components.
- Orient the Harness: The harness is designed to be worn over your shoulders with the main attachment plate positioned at the front of your chest. The wider padded sections are for your shoulders.
- Adjust Shoulder Straps: Place the harness over your shoulders. Adjust the length of the shoulder straps using the buckles to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit. The harness should sit securely without restricting movement.
- Connect to Think Tank Belt (Optional): If using with an optional Think Tank belt, thread the harness's lower straps through the designated loops on your belt. Secure the buckles or hook-and-loop fasteners to integrate the harness with the belt. This distributes the weight across your shoulders and hips.
- Final Adjustments: Ensure all straps are evenly tensioned and comfortable. The harness should not dig into your skin or cause discomfort.

Operating Your Harness
The Pixel Racing Harness V3.0 is designed for quick and secure access to your camera gear. When combined with a Think Tank belt, it allows for efficient workflow and reduced fatigue.
- Attaching Camera Pouches/Accessories: Utilize the modular attachment points on your Think Tank belt (not included) to secure various camera pouches, lens cases, or other accessories. The harness helps support the weight of these items.
- Camera Quick Release: If your belt system includes a quick-release plate or clip for your camera, ensure it is securely attached to your camera's tripod mount. The harness helps stabilize the camera against your body when not in active use.
- Adjusting for Active Use: For dynamic shooting situations, you may need to slightly tighten the harness straps to minimize camera movement. For more relaxed carrying, loosen them for comfort.
