Pics or it didn't happen

Sorry...I forgot the rules!

just placed an order for one belt and 5 pouches through amazon. $240 total, ouch...
The modeler set didn't have the right pouches for me, so I had to buy them all individually.
They all should be here on Thursday! I'll post photos when i get it all assembled.
Plan on using it to photograph a triathlon on sunday.

Me too, but less stuff. Belt, Speed changer and Lens 75 pop-down. Looks perfect for football. Thanks all.

I do have some space left for one more bag/module, any thoughts? The small pouch with red easily holds my G11 and large smart phone.
Rain or shine we're heading out to shoot something this weekend!

Lookin' good! Does it all feel pretty balanced? Please update us on your impressions after you take it for a spin.

It would be cool if they offered a "build-your-own" set kind of deal, but just wishful thinking


Went to my local camera store today and they only had the L-size belts... was really looking forward to getting my hands on one of these sooner rather than later

Been using it for 3+ Years. Need the RACING HARNESS to hold it up.........

I change the pouches for about every outing. So it changes a lot. I even have the 300 2.8 pouch which works really well.... On that one, I stick the lens in with the camera on it. Then sling the neck strap over my shoulder which gives it somemore support and a bit of safety.

I have 5 pouches (the thin ones) and the Racing Harness. One of my cameras hangs off the harness ( 1 Camera Support Strap connected to a Black Rapid connector on the camera tripod socket) and works extremely well. I've been using it for about 2 years to shoot concerts.

One pouch carries the second camera in transit, so 4 lenses. No more room on the belt for a 5th pouch, it seems.

We don't believe you unless you show us Seriously, I would like to see the pouch you have that in, as I also have the 300. Thanx

I went with the skins myself. Did not really see the need for extra padding. They store nicely.
Love using the TT belts system. I can configure it for what ever is required at an event.
When it is loaded up I use the harness. The weight on my hips is much more bearable than trying to carry a shoulder bag loaded up.

I also have a spider holster added which also makes it handy to quickly free up my hands.

My complete set is as follows.
Pro Speed Belt
Skin 50
Skin 75
Skin Strobe
Speed Changer
RU Thirsty (always on the belt!)
Pixel racing harness
Keep it Up Shoulder Strap (have not used much yet but seems easier than full harness)

I also have a Digital Holster 20 that I thought might be nice for vacations.

Thanks,

Can you tell me which TT pouch holds a 300 2.8?

I just looked at TT's page. Seems they don't have this listed anymore... Too bad... Its called a Lens Changer 300 (go figure??)

Excuse the pics... iPhone and in a hurry

I don't believe thet sell the 300 anymore. You could try calling them and see if they have a few leftover though. Maybe they'd consider selling off the last of their old stock.

I can't imagine hanging that thing on a belt for long periods. With a camera attached, no less.....lol

Hence the neck strap over the shoulder to hold some of the weight.......... Its not that bad

That's why I have this

Comes in handy for the 70-200 f2.8L IS and also my 500mm f5 L IS, or the neck strap would be good as well.

I assumed you were hanging it off a TT belt, even with a harness.
