Love It!
I was using a Lowepro Inverse 200 AW. I found it did not have enough pockets for my needs, the lenses did not fit properly in the bag because it was not deep enough nor did the bag hang right when I used it as a waist pack. And I found it to be heavy when everything was in that bag because I could not distribute the weight properly. So I bought this speed belt along with the Think Tank Modular Set. I am so happy and don't know why I did not do this a long time ago. When I went to Yellows...

I found it did not have enough pockets for my needs, the lenses did not fit properly in the bag because it was not deep enough nor did the bag hang right when I used it as a waist pack. And I found it to be heavy when everything was in that bag because I could not distribute the weight properly. So I bought this speed belt along with the Think Tank Modular Set. I am so happy and don't know why I did not do this a long time ago. When I went to Yellowstone last year it would have made my trip so much easier. I am able to hike around with out any trouble and move so easy. I also bought the harness but have not used it as of yet. I could not be happier with this belt system. I find that between the speedbelt and modular set I can switch up the bags that work for me for an outing our hike. I am a almost 60 year old active women and not a professional photographer but this set is lightweight and with three lenses and a flash unit along with my Monopod it all works. I thought I might need to buy the holster for the camera but so far I have not needed it.

it works but it's too bulky
I bought this belt so that I could wear the Think Tank Hubba Hubba Hiney bag as a waist belt instead of as a shoulder bag. It works fine, but it is overpadded and unnecessarily bulky in my opinion. I would recommend getting the Think Tank Thin Skin belt instead, which is unpadded and thus presumably more foldable/stowable.

Works like a dream. Holds business cards, money, iPhone 6S Plus & memory cards. Add to that you can adjust the length of the neck cord. It is a wonderful accessory!
I have purchased 3 already for myself and gifts. It is great for anyone who wants to work on their computer outdoors.
Perfect for traveling too. Easy to pack and configure for a day's photographic needs. Carry only what you need. Very comfortable when paired with the Pro Speed Belt.
Wow, what a bag. I've been using the Think Tank Glass Taxi backpack for years. I really like it and have carried it for weeks at a time around the world in tough situations. It has been great except I keep putting it on the ground to change lenses. Sometimes missing the shot. I was assigned to New Orleans on Halloween and I didn't want a backpack in that crowd. So I choose the Speed Freak. I used the belt strap and the shoulder strap which positioned the bag forward. Nothing could move or swing. I had fast access to my lenses (16 to 35 mm; 50mm and 70 to 200 mm) I had the 24 to 105 mm on the camera. The tight fit against my body and reverse opening lid were very secure. The "slit" zipper on the top was also very nice for secure transfer. The bag is tight for the 16 to 35 mm Canon with a shade. No room for the camera. I had the 600 flash in a side pocket and a bottle of beer in the other. (It's New Orleans on Halloween!) But I would not want to own larger bag of the same design. (too big to bend over) The waist band did give me some discomfort in my thigh muscles after several hours. But I'm old. At the airport I still had my Glass Taxi backpack with Speed Freak hanging from it. By combining the bags, I made the two into a single for TSA regulations of two carry on bags. At one point I used the bags to carry a complete Lumix GS3 kit with lenses on the street. This bag is not large enough to be the entire kit of 4 lenses, a body and flash. It is a great companion. I can't wait to use it at a wedding with just 2 lenses.
Well made case which is too small for my purpose.
Comfortable, well-padded belt with additional locks to prevent the belt adjustment from changing due to equipment weight.
Use to convert Urban Disguise series bags from shoulder bags to backpacks! Very comfortable when used as a backpack. Very versatile.
My need is obvious by the product. Unfortunately, my 17" Dell doesn't fit well inside. The laptop folds the "walls" of shade down because it's not wide enough. I was hoping, as with my Urban Disguise, that my laptop would just barely fit but it's not even close. Unfortunately, I'll be returning it.
Was looking for a smaller, run and gun type bag when I don't need a lot of equipment, and one that would take weight off of my shoulders. This one is just about right and has a good amount of room in a pinch. Have to agree with another reviewer that the top cover zipper opening is pretty pointless. Will see how the belt works over time, its big enough, just not very substantial. But that does allow it to stow away...
I bought the belt, the shoulder strap which is a must, two lens cases for my Pano 35-100&100-300, and a small case for my Oly EM-5 and Pano 12-35.
