I've taken to wearing a vest / jacket over my harness (itself over a tee). The look is a bit better than just having the harness.
After playing this way for a while, it occurred to me that I'd really like a vest with the mount built in. Specifically, a normal vest with the lower, vertical metal bit from the harness built into a slim, zippered, pocket. The gimbal can be attached to the bottom. It would probably need a cord (something like those used at the waist of many jackets) to adjust the height as well. I guess it could be more industrial (like a steadycam vest) but I was thinking something more low profile.
I think this would look better and be more comfortable (because the weight would be carried by the entire vest and it is likely softer) while still holding the gimbal firmly horizontal.
It has been my experience that each time I have a wild idea like this it has already be visited so....
Is there a reason for the strap (vs vest) approach?
Would this be workable?
Would anyone else like such an accessory?
Might Eigenlabs be interested in selling such a product?
