My Chest Rig setup - Save time on set! 

It arrived to me today and it's really great now I have no more problems than people rummaging through pockets in the subway and on the bus.

Hi Darious, I'm 11 and starting out as a filmmaker. I love your videos because they help me get better. Rule of thirds!!! Thank you ~ Jordan

The added benefit of having military style MOLLE webbings on the front is that you can attach pockets to your pockets... Inception!

I legit bought this bag 2 seconds before this video was released!

What a difference photo is today. I remember 35mm nikon being a new invention. I was the first private photographer to buy a Sinar P 4x5 in north america

Only Darious can film a slo-mo on a chest organiser and still make it look cool

@d4darious and anyone else… I bought this chest rig mid-shoot this week after watching this video - I was on location and it saved my life, but I also had the issue of straps loosening. The straps are threaded the WRONG WAY through the ladderlock buckles - weighted tension causes the webbing to slide not bite as it should. You’ll know it’s wrong because the loose end of the webbing should be over the strap, not under it, which makes adjusting them awkward (that was what alerted me to the incorrect threading). Simple (and correct) fix - just reverse the way the webbing threads through the buckles👍

The best chest /rig/bag of this type (no longer currently made) was made by Urban Outfitters simply called 'Chest Rig Bag'. Been wearing mine daily in N.Y.C. for the last 6-8 years, carries everything I need... (not a "cutesy fashion" sling bag!) and no square 'panel' in the back.

1:10 "There isn't a company that makes chest rigs for filmmakers"...Setwear, Conterra, Dirty Rigger...three examples right there.

I bet this is the problem with the straps slipping (having them threaded through the buckles correctly is very important): "Lots of reviews about straps not holding. The work fine if you reconfigure them correctly. Straps come configured “backward” and do not provide necessary friction. Take the running end and start it at the opposite side of the buckle..."

I use the same idea for event production. And these type of pouch are very handy to keep tools with us and solve a lot of problems. Nice vídeo!

ngl your one of my fav youtubers now

Great find, Darious. Thanks a million.

Nice, picked me up one using your link. Thanks for all of your content.

I HAD to subscribe! You are very entertaining, easy to follow, straight to the point!

Found your channel when looking for techwear lol great vid dude keep it up

Dirtyrigger makes a chestrig meant for gaffers/lighting technisians

I picked up this chest rig for airsoft and I’m glad you made a video about it

"Its a little on the pricey side" Matthew williams: hold my beer

Audio sounds great D. Britt!

That's an awesome idea. Noted down in my subconscious for now :D

My search has ended. Fucking thankyou.

yes i need to upgrade my production game.. i mainly do logistics/trucking and running around NYC streets at 2am during fashion week with a backpack is too much. i might stick with one of the smaller chest harnesses to start..

You know what a film maker needs in a chest rig! Make one of your own. Maybe you can sell a bunch of them. Who knows.

@D4Darious Dude , I just bought myself exactly same chest rig, about the shoulder strap tho, I have the same issue you have. I am currently working on remake a new one, and it will be more reasonable and comfortable and easy to manage/adjust shoulder strap length(of course it will stay in place). And I will finish it just in a few days. So, if you're interested in what I'm making, we can find a way to contact each other so i can give you my design. And to be clear, this is not about selling you anything, It's just a DIY project that i'm working on, and I'm very excited just to share it to you.

Thank you.

Great to see you back at it, Sir!

As always amazing content! I was just looking at lockable fanny packs for the same thing, this is so much better!

Fanny pack is so time saving man on set.

finally, he dropped the jewels on the pack

Ok well there’s probably a low chance D4 would see this comment but he basically inspired me to start making short films even though I have very little resources and I’m also 13 years old

I usually use a fanny pack but like your first bag it just ends up being a mess XD Really good idea for this!

Check out the SOE FUPA you can setup the chest rig however you want. The straps never slide and they cross behind your back. They make bomber gear

Great tips! It's true how much stuff we need to carry around. That tip for the phone though, smart!

Awesome idea and implementation, congrats!

Condor MCR1 chest Rig alot of property to play with and less then 40 and pouches range 10 to 25 with a capture clip and set

Cool I was getting ready to buy a tool bag. But this is a lot better

Hey Darious, will the Ulanzi Smartphone Cage fit in any of the pockets? its pretty large at 10.5 x 5.5 found myself exactly where you were when you started looking for chest gear, i have had other chest gear like the Ribz Paks and such but i use those for hiking and non of them really make a good photography/videography set up, spent all night looking for something compatible with my Smartphone rig consisting of my Ulanzi cage a Rode video mic and two Ulanzi VL-49 lights as well as my battery banks, this looks like it might work for me if the cage will fit in it...

Link doesn't work, do you have the dimensions?

Checkout Vanquest gear as well. Got my wireless lav kit pack setup in a medical pouch of theirs. Can see the setup here: instagram.com/p/BveEjrLHd2x

Do you know of a pack like this.that is big enough to carry a iPad Pro 13inch

You make the best filming vids

do you think a gopro can be mounted in front?

love the videos and thank you

What is the name of the brother bag please Ripley me

Ooooooh. Gearing up to direct my second micro budget feature later this year and I'll likely be shooting it too. This is gonna be a must. Will have to send you a selfie of the chest rig from set. Thanks my dude! Great video per usual!

Great idea.

Paintball gear my dude is where I live

The slips on the front is called MOLLE. You can mount more pouches on it

I took a shot every time you said pocket and now I’ve passed away. G-Wat out.

Dude I bought my first fanny pack at marshal for like 11$ and it’s FILA ... I love it Extra phone Head phone Adapter Charger Med You name it

...Still waiting for the Kickstarter for the D4D Customized Gear kit bag.

i thought to get something like that for the same reason, is just so annoying to go back to my bag all the time

This is a great idea! Those molle slots mean you can expand it even further on the front too. Might have to look into something like this. Would this work for a lightweight sound harness, or would it be worth just buying a proper one?

Awesome!

Wonder if my GoPro chest strap can be converted as chest pouch.

Would love to see a version of that pack that could accommodate those of us with breasts.

I've been interested in getting a fanny pack of sorts for everyday use.

Good job.

It's a vital thing 2 have....#Salute

13 pockets! cool!

Chest rigs are great to use. If you don't mind the tactcool look check out the 5.11 2 & 4 bangers.

how do you out the harness on

You have that right! I know! Solo shooter too! 🙌

That's a sexy looking rig mate, about to grab one too

Love it dbrit

MOLLE Chest rigs are great! We use them often in Airsoft. I have just the panel, over the time I acquired many pouches so I can customize according to the type of game I'm playing :) Try google MOLLE pouches, there are a wide variety of stuff that may work for you

Its called 'mollie webbing'

I just recently got a G85, when it comes to lens maintenance how often should I clean it?

POCKETS!!!!!!!!

Hey... Does it have pockets? :)

Video came right on time famo... SUBSCRIBED 🗣

I can already see someone jumping on this idea to make a company selling chest organizers specifically for indie filmmakers

Did my dude DBRitt just level up his Mic giving the internet all of the asmr vibes?

I'm sold. I'm getting one lol

What do you feel exactly my guy??

I feel overwhelmed studying film in school in general, any tips for someone like me? Looking for answers from everyone!

check out the hill people

0:15 what kind of flick were you shooting? 😋

Pretty awesome. Get some leg pouches and call it a day. It would be awesome if this stuff was waterproof. 👍

Nice👊

I'm making one of these

That’s gotta be real bad on the back. This coming from someone that used to work in plumbing and has two bulging discs, lol

Is that your real voice

Take a shot every time he says pocket
