The Tenba Convertible Waist Pack is good if you want to keep all your gear really close to you and aren't in an environment where you can set stuff down easily. Water, sand, mud.... Its built very well and has a great set of accessory pockets. It can be converted to a shoulder bag. It didn't come with a shoulder strap, but one can be attached easily to the metal rings. For a little more money I prefer my Thinktank Retrospective 10 for every day carry of a camera and shooting. The Tenba convertible bag would be better suited with a shoulder strap for everyday carry and have the waist band as a backup for the special shooting scenario. I did like that my Nikon D90 with a 18-200mm would fit vertically (just barely) along with my Nikon D5000 backup holding the Tokina macro.

I like waistpacks. They leave my arms, shoulders free to hold the camera, and I'm not worn-out after a long day of shooting. When I need an item, I just slide the bag to my front. Everything I need(lenses,filters,etc.)is right infront of my eyes. It's the most practical camera bag for me.

Tenba Shootout Series
An advanced collection of photo/imaging carry gear and accessories, aimed predominantly at serious outdoor/active photographers. The initial Shootout launch includes five Photo/Laptop Backpacks, a Convertible Photo Waistpack, a Rolling Utility Duffel and an accessory Lens/Bottle Caddy. These will shortly be followed by a full range of outdoor-oriented shoulder bags, photo/laptop messenger bags and accessories
Shootout was developed and fine-tuned by the company's in-house design team for over a year, with the specific goals of providing lightweight, comfortable, action-oriented packs and bags with a high level of protection, and innovative, pro-grade features.
The additional challenge was to do it all with truly new, head-turning design and execution, so around and beneath Shootout's unique, curvy shaping and styling is the kind of attention to detail that customers have come to expect from a brand that has been focused on top-level shooters for 30 years.
Key features (which vary by model) include weather-sealed zippers, convertible QuickAccess pockets, a new and innovative tripod carrying system, and Tenba's exclusive WeatherWrap auxiliary cover.
Shootout Convertible Waistpack
The Shootout Convertible Waistpack is a versatile, lightweight, hands-free carrying system for a camera (up to a standard-body D-SLR) fitted with a small- or mid-size zoom, along with a second lens, flash and accessories.
The Waistpack incorporates a broad, padded, fully-adjustable waist belt with a moisture-wicking lining for long-haul comfort. The main compartment flap opens away from the body for unimpeded access, and closes with weathersealed zippers.
Other features include dual-door end pockets with main compartment QuickAccess functionality similar to that of the Backpacks, and a variety of interior organizers for media, batteries, cables and other accessories.
And unlike typical, single-purpose fanny packs, the Shootout Waistpack converts to a compact, true shoulder bag by removing the belt and attaching the included hand grip and shoulder strap.
All Shootout Backpacks and Waistpacks also come complete with "attachable" accessories one a media card wallet and the other a padded pouch for phone or portable audio player. The accessory cases are secured to the packs with clip-on security tethers, but can be removed and attached to various clip-on points on Shootout waist belts and/or shoulder pads.
Tenba also offers an optional Lens/Bottle Caddy, which can be attached to the same clip-on points and "self stows" when not in use.
