Recommended waist/belt camera bag

[SteveatVTK]

I quite like my old CCS camera bag, but unfortunately I appear to have round shoulders and it is very annoying as the bag keeps slipping off. I also cant bear to put the strap over my neck as I find this very uncomfortable.
Could anyone suggest a suitable bag and belt to enable me to carry my camera from the waist and to the side. I am thinking of the Lowepro ProTactic TLZ 70 AW Toploader. Anyone have any experience of this model or could recommend another?
Many thanks

I had a problem years ago with one bag sliding off my shoulders (slippery strap?) anyway I used a clip on strap and put that around my chest, sort of shoulder holster style. Stopped it slipping off.
I find waist belts tend to sag and pull your trousers down a bit, I'm constantly pulling back in place.

I have 3 ThinkTank waist bags as my shoulder doesn't like the weight of a backpack or a shoulder bag[worse]. They are Hubba Hubba Hiney [I know], A Speed Freak and A speed Racer. The last two are discontinued but they are really excellent bags: well made and thought out. They can be found used. Another way to go would be to get one of the padded waist belts and attach various pouches and bags. I do not work for them.

Here is a link to the Hubba: https://www.snapperstuff.com/hubba-hubba-hiney-v30
Here is. a link to the belt: https://www.snapperstuff.com/pro-speed-belt-v30---m-l

Once you get on the website you can also find two bags there which could be the 'descendants' of my Speed Freak / Racer bags listed next to the Hubba: https://www.snapperstuff.com/belt-packs.

Ciao for now.

PS. There is a speed freak on ebay uk now for #80

I use the Lowepro Inverse 200 AW. I tried the 100 AW first, but found it a little too small.

This is ideal as a day bag and can be carried to the front side or rear with a waist strap as well as a shoulder strap. I have mine on my lap as I use a wheelchair and it is perfect for that.

Anyway, this bloke shows both here:

There are lots of caveats with this, but I don't like waist bags - especially not for anything heavy.

Have you considered either

1) a rucksack with a chest strap?
2) buying an aftermarket chest strap for your current backpack?

Either of the above would stop the straps from slipping off your shoulders.

The other alternative is a sling style bag which goes over one shoulder. I prefer these to a waist bag, but that's just me.

Finally, just a camera sling if all you're taking with you is the camera.
