I was looking at the thinktank modular system and was wondering if there are other options out there that are similar.

I do a lot of hiking and finding with only one body I'm changing lenses often.

I like the idea of everything being handy in that way.

I usually take a 70-200, 135, 12-24 and my 150 macro plus my flash.

Thanks for the tips/


Nikon D850 and a bunch of stuff, I have learned a lot here when I was shooting Canon, staying to keep learning..."Every time I set up I learn something new".

Think Tank Skin system? I recently sold all my modular pouches (one still pending collection) and got myself 2 x Skin 50 pouches and a Think Tank Thin Skin belt. I've become more mobile this way because it's lighter because of the lack of padding. How about the Skin Set? Skin 75 pop down handles 70-200, Skin strobe handles flash, Skin 50 handles 12-24, skin chimp cage (popped down) can handle your 135 and 150, or put those in the double-wide.

Do you have a picture of the 70-200 hanging off the belt in the Skin 75?

What I can't verify from their pictures is whether or not there's a 3lb lens in the case. Does it hold is shape with the lens inside or does it feel like it wants to get bottom-heavy and pull against the belt?

There is no "shape" for the skin components. There is no padding, there is no structure. Want to know how it looks like? Put your lens into a plastic bag - it's similar. The picture with the pouch popped-down has a lens inside, and it's the length of a 70-200 with hood from the looks of it.
