ThinkTankPhoto Speed series review:

what are you going to hang it from? And I was also planning on tying mine in under the seat to the rails or something else under there...

Ben, may not happen; may sell the Miata. The Miata has a wind blocker behind the seats. I was going to link to that. I have straps and Night Ize Biners bought and set aside. Just need the b'pack.

edit: Nite Ize here:

I keep mispelling the company name; however, google figured it out.

Well it won't fit in the Miata...just traded my Think Tank Retro10PS bag for a Speed Racer. Thanks Albert W.!

Why? Primary concern is using the PS bag in the rain. The raincover buttons up the bag so I can't shoot. Can't put it on in anticipation of rain...and still shoot.

Your review helped a lot, Ben.
Speed Racer is easy to carry, and easy to work from. The Retro10 I traded is good for others; didn't work for me.
Glad I have this bag.

yeah, like I said in the review, if I had to choose between the two it'd be very hard but the functionality of the speed would most likely win. The retro just looks so much better for more casual settings.

well bad news, the handle has started to tear on the bag. emailed TT to see what they can do since I just bought this bag on October 11th.

I owned the original speed demon and it suffered greatly from sag with a 1 series body and lens. The shoulder strap attached on small loops and was uncomfortable and supported little if any weight.

You should be covered under warranty.

I'm surprised you could fit that in the bag. My gripped rebel was very tight.

i am, just gotta send it in today.

Solid review

I've had incredible customer service from Think Tank, and in the past from LowePro (Daymen). Trust your issue will be resolved.
I haven't had good service from Tenba/Vistek--the Canadian vendor. I had the same issue, unresolved with them. Like you, my problem occurred right away. The retail vendor wasn't interested in solving the problem. So as long as I used the bag, I muttered under my breath--and it wasn't to recommend it to other shooters.

I've had pro shooters recommend this bag to me for a long time. Now that I have one, I'm very glad! Wish I had bought it a while ago.

Solid review

ben does a great job!

thanks guys.

on the repair, yeah, call them, they'll sort you right out. Does it look like a missed/bad stitch though, or just overloaded? I've yet to have an issue with any of my TT stuff, so I'm just curious.

and MDJAK, weird you couldn't get any weight onto the shoulder strap?

well they got the bag on monday and i received the new one on wednesday. definitely missed stitching. the only things i have in there are a 5d2 and 24-70, rocket blower, lens cloth, misc accessories.
