I have no doubt that it works as advertised but it’s missing some things I count on from my Thinktank Skin pouches. It can’t hold any bits and pieces like extra batteries, it can’t protect lenses from rain, and it hides nothing.

If you’re working at an wedding/event where you need to worry about theft, I think you have bigger problems than worrying about your lens being stolen from your hip :P

I think it’s a great idea. I have a capture clip which hold my camera against my chest when I have my cam bag shouldered. This would be a perfect accompaniment to it. It isn’t that expensive in the world of photo/film gear. It’s worth it to me. I would walk around with one of these in a heart beat. AND IT DOES HAVE A SAFETY.

Great idea, the only draw back is the possibility of damage your lens when you walk and shot. When you are concentrated in taking photos you always forget your distant from objects around and you could accidentally pump in a furniture, a door, people, you name it. But for speed of changing the lens its unbeatable never the less.

If you shoot in manual, multiple bodies is nothing but a pain. I would consider multiple bodies if there was a way to have the cameras sync so that as you change the settings on one body, it wirelessly syncs the settings on your other camera. The camera manufacturers could easily integrate that setting but they the will only update and integrate features as little as they need to, to stay in competition with with each other.

Looks like it works awesome….. at keeping any hot bridesmades from accidentally thinking you’re not a complete dork.

I see a blended solution working the best here. I would buy it if it comes with that girl in the shorts to follow me around with my lenses attached to her belt. That way she can keep an eye out for the thieves, I don’t look like a dork and she manages to look even cuter by sticking her hip out at me as I grab the right focal length.

I think this is great and very innovative! I use the ThinkTank belt/bag system which is OK but this quickdraw idea beats that hands down. I would definitely buy. $80 is about £50? which is comparible with the ThinkTank system.

As far as thievery goes… if you take this belt on a crowded metro with a couple of lenses hanging from your waist, you deserve to get robbed. In other word, do you think this is aimed at travel photographers or event and wedding photographers? There’s a no-brainer for you…

I can’t imagine being robbed at a professional event, a wedding, etc.
Is the groom’s mother-in-law going to steal your 1.2 prime? Don’t think so. You need to relax a bit.

Sorry, but your arguments around security are invalid.

Bumping into things, on the other hand, is something to be concerned about.
