    Chest bag/harness/holster for a smaller camera?

    Maybe you guys can help me out. I usually ski with my DSLR in a lowepro TLZ:


    I recently picked up a panasonic GF1 which almost fits into a jacket pocket (it does but it's a PITA to take in/out quickly). I'm looking for a chest harness/pocket that's smaller than the lowepro I have for the DSLR. Something more like the radio harnesses the gate crasher coaches wear. I've seen one somewhere at some point but can't remember who made it for the life of me (dakine, burton, spyder???).

    Anyone know of some sort of front pocket that could fit a camera? Something like this:

    I don't know how big your camera is, but this may work for you.

    These Conterra Pro Radio harnesses would work:



    I think I have an used one floating around if you want it. Also, a Pieps Beacon Harness for a light weight option:



    Wouldn't a simple camera case on webbing work?

    According to the camera specs it looks like it should fit nice and snug. The other pouch works well for a cell phone too. It also has a big zipper pouch with the mesh backing.

    thanks for the advice on the conterra, they look like they might work. The transceiver case is a bit too small and I want it on my upper chest so that's out (I have a lifelink pouch like that that's too small?). The camera case on webbing is the option I've been looking into most lately. Thinktank as some good belt options that are modular and setup to go on straps if you want. This is looking to be a good solution:
