MR JAN GEAR Lens Carrier System Khaki Camo, carrying system for long telephoto lenses

Being on the move with long telephoto lenses can quickly feel like strength training. The MR JAN GEAR Lens Carrier System in Khaki Camo takes exactly this weight off your shoulders and shifts it to where it makes sense: stably in front of your body. You carry your heavy telephoto lens comfortably in front of your stomach, have it ready to hand at any time and still keep both hands free for what really matters outdoors: observing, reacting, releasing the shutter.

The original idea comes from French photographer Jean-Louis Farjon. MR JAN GEAR has consistently developed this concept further, refined it and tailored it to the tough everyday life of photography. The result is a lens carrier that is lightweight yet robust, that blends discreetly into your existing setup and simply has your back when shooting wildlife, sports or nature. Literally.

Simple and good! A well-thought-out carrying system for long telephoto lenses

The principle is simple but clever. You attach the MR JAN GEAR Lens Carrier System to the shoulder straps of your camera backpack or use it as a standalone carrying system with the supplied X-harness. Your long telephoto lens rests securely in front of your stomach, the camera is immediately ready for use and you don’t have to rummage through your backpack every time a scene appears. Just lift it up, bring it to your eye, release the shutter.

Because the lens is carried close to the body, the weight is distributed much more comfortably. Instead of a top-heavy camera-lens combination pulling on your shoulder, you have a well-balanced setup that remains comfortable to carry even over several hours. Especially with long focal lengths, large front elements and heavy telezooms, this difference is clearly noticeable. We would almost say: after a few trips you won’t want to head out without it anymore.

Typical use cases: you’re watching birds in the reeds, need to react quickly and at the same time operate binoculars. You’re shooting sports on the sidelines and constantly switching between camera and phone. Or you’re on safari and constantly have memory cards, filters or small accessories in your hands. With the Lens Carrier your hands stay free and your equipment remains where you need it, not somewhere in your backpack, three zippers away.

Made in Europe, robust quality and practical workmanship

The MR JAN GEAR Lens Carrier System is manufactured in Europe and designed for real outdoor conditions. No show, no frills, but robust materials, solid stitching and a design that will last for many seasons. The Khaki Camo camouflage pattern is not only visually appealing but above all functional. It blends unobtrusively into natural environments, which is a real plus especially for wildlife and nature photography.

The fabrics are durable, the carrying comfort is designed for longer use and the construction is chosen so that the system works reliably even with heavy telephoto lenses. At first glance it almost seems unspectacular, but that is exactly what makes it so appealing. No overloaded design, but a working tool that simply functions and proves itself in the field.

Developed by photographers for photographers, practical down to the last detail

Behind the MR JAN GEAR Lens Carrier System are people who themselves work with long focal lengths. You can tell from many small details. The way the lens rests in front of your stomach. The position of the attachment points. The integrated front pocket. Nothing feels random, everything has a practical purpose.

The integrated front pocket is dimensioned so that you can store a phone, small binoculars or other small items such as memory cards, batteries or a cleaning brush. This way you have your most important tools directly on your body without having to open additional bags. Especially when things have to move quickly or you are in rough terrain, this direct access is worth its weight in gold.

The system is designed so that it can be attached seamlessly to almost all common camera backpacks with shoulder straps. No exotic special solutions, but a practical, compatible solution that works together with your existing equipment. And if you ever want to go out completely without a backpack, simply use the supplied X-harness back strap. This turns the Lens Carrier into a standalone carrying system that you wear like a chest rig.

Flexible in use, ideal when changing locations quickly

The MR JAN GEAR Lens Carrier System becomes particularly interesting when you change locations frequently. If, for example, you walk from spot to spot with your tripod, you know the problem. A heavy, top-heavy camera-lens combination on the tripod head makes carrying it over your shoulder uncomfortable and wobbly. The Lens Carrier solves this problem quite elegantly.

You take the telephoto lens with camera off the tripod, secure it in the Lens Carrier in front of your stomach and can then carry the tripod over your shoulder easily and in a controlled manner without the top-heavy load. This not only reduces the risk of bumping into something, but also relieves your shoulders and neck muscles. Moving from one location to the next becomes much more relaxed and you are still quickly ready to shoot again.

Especially in wildlife photography, at sporting events or landscape shoots with changing perspectives, this flexibility is a real practical advantage. You spend less time shifting, securing, holding and more time actually taking pictures.

Easy mounting, compatible with most camera backpacks

The Lens Carrier can be attached easily and securely to almost all shoulder straps of camera backpacks. The fastening is designed so that you don’t need any special tools and don’t have to make any permanent modifications to your backpack. Attach, adjust, done. The first time you may have to think briefly about how you prefer to position it, but after that it quickly becomes second nature.

With the removable X-harness back strap included in the scope of delivery, you can also use the MR JAN GEAR Lens Carrier System completely without a backpack. The X-harness distributes the weight across your shoulders and back so that the telephoto lens sits stably in front of your stomach. This variant is particularly suitable if you want to travel minimalist, for example on short trips, in the stadium or on photo walks where you don’t want to lug around a large backpack.

Khaki Camo camouflage pattern, unobtrusive in nature, striking in detail

The Khaki Camo camouflage pattern is not just a visual gimmick. In forests, near bodies of water or in open fields, the pattern blends unobtrusively into the surroundings. For wildlife photographers, birdwatchers or nature filmmakers, this is a clear advantage, because reflective surfaces and bright colors can irritate or scare away animals. The Lens Carrier System remains discreetly in the background while you concentrate on your subject.

At the same time, the design looks modern and functional. It matches typical outdoor outfits, camouflage clothing as well as neutral jackets and backpacks. If you like to put together your equipment in a visually coherent way, the MR JAN GEAR Lens Carrier System Khaki Camo will blend seamlessly into your kit.
