2 camera shoots - waist holster

blaze_away · 17 Mar 2009

Anyone know if anyone sells something like a gun holster so when out shooting with 2 cameras you can have one in use and the other available in a waist holster ?

Ditto on the think tank. I have the thinktank digital holster 10. It's perfect for my D60 and when expanded will hold body and sigma 70-200 very snugly. Their range goes all the way up to pro bodies. The quality is top notch

I also found this link useful.

Just what I've been looking for too. I wanted a bag that would take my EOS 50D with the battery grip attached and room for a reasonable choice of lenses. Thanks for the info and link

There's also the Boda Bag, not quite your traditional holster and quite expensive too, but the video is interesting, especially his lens changing talents....

Wow! Not sure I could do that, with or without a Boda Bag!

Wonder how many he dropped practising

$195 so about £130. Still a ludicrous amount of money for what it is.

Not sure if it's applicable/would suit your needs, but you could just go for 2 cameras on BlackRapid straps - one over each shoulder. Camera hangs upside down at your hip as the strap attaches to a ring via the tripod thread, so even works well with a flash attached where conventional straps are a pain with the flash tending to overbalance the camera. Very easy to use, and both instantly accessible to change quickly from one to the other. When hanging down, the camera does tend to stay out of the way.
Website here.

I've tried it with 2 straps - one over each shoulder, and they both work fine (don't get in the way of each other). They are also the most comfortable strap I've ever used.
