How do you carry your rangefinder?

I use a loop of cord that just barely fits over my head, better than any of the contraptions I have seen on the market.

I had mine tied with 550 cord to my sportsman bino harness. Worked in good weather. However I just got an Alaska guide creations cub bino harness and my bushnell 1300 rangefinder fits perfectly in the front zipper pouch. It's an amazing harness and one handed all day. I also had a tenzing oss15 and returned it after two days. Needed both hands and some work to get my binos in there

I have it on a key ring with a thin braided loop running through it, loop goes over my head under one arm. It hangs about pants pocket height, when my pack is on it sits in my always unzipped hip belt pocket giving just enough slack in the loop to be comfortable but not enough to get tangled up. When I drop my pack for a stalk it pulls free of the pocket and hangs by my side, at which time I usually clip it to my bino harness (no pouch) all the while still on the loop around my neck. The Key ring slides effortlessly around the loop so after I range the animal I don't have to take my eyes off of it, I can essentially drop the range finder and begin the shot process.
It sounds way more complicated than it actually is. Works perfectly for me and I've never lost my range finder unlike my clumsy brother who is on his 4th one in about 7 years.
Oh and backyard practice or 3D shoots it just hangs on the loop.

When I'm not carrying my pack I clip it to my Bino harness. Otherwise it goes in my right thigh pocket.

Can't shoot 'em where they ain't.

A piece of bow string loop material threaded through the rangefinder, made into a loop by wrapping with serving material, then I thread parachute cord through that. The large, stiff loop allows the range finder to move freely on the parachute cord. The parachute cord length can be adjusted so the rangefinder hangs where you want it. I like mine long enough so I can store it in a case on my belt while hiking into a hunting area, or riding in on horse or a quad. Range the animal, drop the range finder and it ends up at your hip and out of the way. When I get ready to hunt, I remove it from the case. See next post.

I then fastened a Camelbak hose clip to the range finder with a short Velcro strap so I can clip it onto the side of my bino harness. You could also clip this to the side strap of the bino harness:

Shown clipped to the side of my FHF bino harness. This is the best system I've found and it cost less than $10 to put together.

Very similar to this^^^^, but I use only the left "bino" strap for the bino and attach the other on my range finder. Two bino straps seems like overkill if the only point is to keep you from dropping your glass on the ground.

Hands down best system I've found as well.
