Yes
Your opinions sort for this - looks good and the videos of people using it make me think it makes life a lot easier with your hands free and no camera round your neck.

On the other hand - it also looks a little erm.........daft......and then I think well functional doesn't always look that good.....but it serves a purpose - any thoughts on its use in anger....

My interest is keeping as much weight of my back......:thinking:
 
OOps - plenty via the search system.......:cuckoo:
 
I got one last week - the double version. Haven't used it outside yet though.. Setup was pretty simple, and both of my bodies hang off the belt pretty comfortably. My aim was to be able to carry two bodies with different lenses easily, which it achieves. The new challenge is where I put my spare lenses, as I can't really use a shoulder bag with a body hanging at either side. I also have to remember that with the cameras attachd I'm 'wider' so have to be careful going through doors.

Currently looking at some Calumet lens pouches that are belt clipped. Thinkiing to put a couple of those at the back of the belt, so that I have a body either side, and two additional lenses at the rear, so that I can do away with carrying a bag at all.

I did use a Domke jacket - but will soon be somewhere too warm to use one of those, so think this is definitely the best option. So far I like it a lot - and will try it 'outdoors' on the weekend for the first time.. I bought mine direct - minus a box - and saved about £20.

£169.99 including p&p

I use a single Spiderpro on a Think Tank Steroid belt. Other camera is on a Black Rapid. Ive also attached a short quick release to each camera which attaches to the Black Rapid strap serving as a backup...can never be too safe haha!

It's taken me ages to figure out something that I'm comfortable with for carrying two cameras. I used to use two OpTech straps and although comfy, they just can't compare in terms of shooting ease.

You could pop spare lenses in a belt pack but I don't use one myself. I think two on the waist would be too cumbersome - getting through doors without smashing your camera could be a challenge!
 
Was just goin to post a thread on what belt do you lot use - GREAT! This is a fantastic resource for gear knowledge :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
