Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?DIEM P : great bag. have owned 2 previously.MARTHA L : Recommendation from a friend.JAMES E : It is of a design which can be supported by a waist belt (included). That keep the weight off my bad back. It can also be used with an included shoulder strap eith alone or as a weight distribution aid. The straps are set up such that the pack can be worn on the back and quickly rotated to the front for use. There are three sizes and I obviously chose the size to fit my primary hiking kit.

Short credential holder

Think Tank's credential holders are the best out there. I use both the short and the tall and love that they also have pockets for other smaller items.

High quality and frees up your hands.

Very versatile and sturdy. Securely holds a variety of different sized credentials and it can also be a handy spot to stash a phone when you don't want to have to wrestle it out of a pocket.

It's nice to get outside!

The Pixel Sunscreen is well made. I use it to get out of my office and work outside, so I can enjoy the great spring weather. It's very versatile and well designed.

Credential Holder - Long

It has been excellent! Works great and is able to hold all my media passes as well as my phone if needed. It is a fantastic piece of kit.

Works well in calm wind

Works as intended. I bought this for the 2024 total solar eclipse, which I am using a laptop tethered to a camera. Obviously, the bright sun will be a factor for the majority of the time. This shade facilitates use of a laptop in bright conditions. However, with gusts of wind at 9+ mph, there is a risk of wind catching it. I am using a nylon strap to affix it to a Roland SS-PC1 tripod laptop stand because I misplaced the clamps that came with the stand. It would be beneficial if future versions of this shade came with a way to anchor it. I'm using a MacBook Air, which is very lightweight.

Perfect for backlit studio work

I just purchased the Pixel Sunscreen for my studio so that clients (commercial and portrait) could review the work we create onsite better. I was having trouble with clients being able to see their proofs if there was a lot of ambient light or backlight in the studio or on location and wanted a way for them to see the correct exposure without having to turn all the lights off or change the position of the laptop. There are lots of pockets to store items as well as get the cords through. It's been great so far and I am excited to work with it.

Perfect for racing events

I bought the long credential holder for the long passes they give you at racing events such as Motorcross events. I keep my pass in the clear pocket, my phone in the other pocket and my license and debit card in the zippered pocket on the back. Perfect when wearing sweats or shorts and you want to travel light. I also own the short edition and highly recommend both.

Ok holster but not compatible with all Think Tank Digital Holsters

Works ok, but I bought this along with a Digital Holster 5, which does not have the loops on the bottom for the grey straps. I can use it anyway but these will be swinging free and might be a nuisance. The instructions say "attach to any Digital Holster V2.0" so be careful that it is fully compatible. Perhaps the thinking is that no one would use a harness for such a small bag but that is exactly what I wanted to do.

Carried for 10 years

I've dragged mine to **** and back for a decade now, and other than the belt loop stitching starting to go, it's still fine. Nothing I can't fix with 10 seconds and a sewing machine. Another advantage is that the Tall holder fits a standard 4"x8" reporter's notebook.

Perfect size

I often cover events at Kennedy Space Center. The window provided holds both my ID and the NASA ID issued for launches with ease. But KSC is not the only place I use it - it goes everywhere. I have two pens on the back side and my cell phone in the pocket. Quality is excellent - as I would expect from Thinktank.

Almost Perfect

Firstly, I love this credential holder. It has plenty of room and space for all the things you would keep close to your person. Pens, mini notebook and an extra pocket for gum,mints etc. What is missing is in the area of the credential pocket. I wish there was some sort of stitching or small divider to keep your credentials from sliding around. It would be cool to have two individual pockets inside of the big pocket as an option to use. Small gripe, definitely.

Sleek & Practical

I originally purchased this to securely display my credentials, but after receiving the product I learned there were other pockets. The design is really smart. You can tell it was designed by real photographers.

The Pixel Sunscreen makes laptop viewing possible out doors in bright sun. The only downside is wind. They act like a sail.

Waiting for Version 3!

I found this harness to be supremely uncomfortable. There's no effective padding around the neck and shoulders and it hurt in trial outings! The shoulder strap for my digital holster v2, also has little in the way of all day comfort padding. My Op/Tech camera strap uses thick neoprene padding that works well along with lightweight, high quality nylon fasteners that weigh less than the antique looking, pot metal like hardware used as quick disconnect fasteners on ThinkTank gear. Weight savings has to be the criteria for every aspect of a thoughtful carrying solution. Finally, I replaced the shoulder strap on my digital holster with a thick neoprene strap and added a comfortable fabric belt to make use of the digital holsters excellent side belt attachment. Now, I have an excellent solution that makes the fantastic digital holster V2.0 work well for carrying my Canon 6D and a heavy Canon telephoto zoom lens all day at the upcoming Reno Air Races. My other heavy lens will go in my old small camera bag on my other side along with any other needed stuff.

Very satisfied ... untill it broke

Since end 2020 I have been using the V2.0 version, not against the sun, but at night to protect the laptop from humidity and to protect my telescope from the light of the computer screen. It was working perfectly until I unfolded it yesterday and found the frame broken in the middle of the straight front part, parallel to the keyboard. I do not have the feeling to have done something wrong when I folded it last time.However it is now almost impossible to use. I may try to open the seam at the location of the broken part to understand if a can fix it.

Great option instead of cheap ones events give you

I often work events that give you cheap holders for your credentials that are flimsy, hang too low, blow up in your face when there's any wind, etc. This holder fixes all of those issues. I now own both the large and small version of this holder and will only use the ones given to me by the event when they require it.

When you need it, you need it

Great tool. Before I bought my Pixel Sunscreen I spent the day in an outdoor media area with no shade. That's when I learned it's value. A full featured, well designed tool to shade the screen for editing when the location is out of your control.

Love the Straps

These are great. They work as a sternum strap or to hold my cameras. I've used them to hold other things too, like an additional lens pouch, a SPOT tracker, safety equipment, and of course, my camera. They are built with the quality expected from ThinkTank. The color offsets the black straps which looks cool. Great product!

Best Bag to shoot from

By AZ T.

The Speed Racer V2.0 was worth the wait. My only complaint is I didn't have this years ago when I really needed it. I started shooting in the late 60's and I can't tell you how many bags I have owned. This is the best EVER. After 40+ years of dragging photo equipment around my back is done. This ergonomic belt is fantastic it actually supports my back. The interior is very adaptable. I can carry a D3s w/28-70mm hood on. I can also carry a 70-200mm, 105mm, 50mm, 24mm and a SB-600, cables and r...

Love It!

By Monica R.

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...

The Think Tank Speed Freak V2.0 Bag is hybrid shoulder bags/belt packs designed for photographers who value versatile and ergonomic camera bags. First and foremost a contoured shoulder bag, the Speed Convertibles keep photo gear readily accessible. The wide opening flip-top design hinges away from the body to rapidly work in and out of the bag. As a shoulder bag, the Speed Convertibles offer durable zippers, a secondary main compartment entry and multiple pockets for small accessories. A cushioned shoulder strap with a long section of padding maximizes comfort while carrying the bag in different positions.

To adapt a Speed Convertible bag as a belt pack, deploy the integrated waist belt which is conveniently concealed in two zippered pockets on either side. Fastening the flexible belt around the waist provides better stability while walking, especially when used in tandem with the included shoulder strap.

The waist belt also features Modular rail sections for attaching Modular, Skin or Multimedia components to increase gear carrying capacity as needed.
