WS-0001 Leather Waist Shooter (Black)

I still haven't have the opportunity to use this bag yet but I can tell you that is very well made. The leather flap is made of real leather and it have some nice little pockets for cards and small items.The flap is attached with velcro which for me is great since it won't be in my way when reaching for a lens. Also it can be use as a sit cover to sit the bride and not get her dress dirty lol

If you're familiar with the Shootsac, then at first glace you'll notice a similar look and function. The main differences are 1) this only has two pockets while the Shoot Sac has three (plus the two on the back), 2) you can wear this on the belt or on the shoulder, and 3) this has a much more comfortable and higher-quality strap.This bag is very very simple. It's simply two neoprene pockets, a uniquely shaped strap, a leather cover with two netted pockets and a belt attachment. This same simplicity is its primary benefit because it is slim and gets the job done for what it's supposed to do. I usually carry around 1 flash, a 580ex, and a lens, a Canon 24-70mm lens and it's perfect for this. On my body, I'll have one other lens (usually a prime lens) that I'll switch between.I sometimes shoot events every single day of the week so it's important for me to keep the weight off of my shoulders and for me to carry minimal equipment and weight. If you're looking to lug around your large zoom lenses (bigger than a 70-200), then this is NOT for you. If you're looking to carry the kitchen sink, this is not for you. If your an event photographer with a simple set up, this is your solution.

The bag is good for carrying two lenses, however, there is no place for the body. If you go out to shoot you don't have a way to carry your body into the bag, so your body is always out. If you really want to use this bag you might need to put it into a bigger bag, so when you unload all your stuff, you pull out your unfind, choose your two lenses and you get out and shoot but guess what? the body is still out! I want to protect all my equipment not only my lenses.

I was really excited to purchase this side bag. I thought it would be great to have on my hip for carrying a lens or two. But when it arrived, I sadly discovered that it did not fit my Nikon 70-200 or wide angle lens. I can shove them in, but the pockets are way too tight to use with ease. So I returned it :( I do really love my bigger Undfind bag though ! I carry that one everywhere ;) This one's pockets are just too tight. If they had a little bit of fabric added in the middle it might have been perfect.

Love this bag for my weddings. I do primarily videography with SLR's (a Canon 5D) so I switch out lenses often. I usually carry a 100mm f/2.8 lens as well as a 50mm F/1.2 lens. It's great if you're just looking to carry two lenses and a couple memory cards. It's not great if you're relying on it for your only bag. You definitely need to have a larger bag as well to carry the majority of your gear. Think of this as a little bonus bag or as an extension of your pockets on your pants that happen to fit two lenses.

I was a little reluctant to buy something so small and thin for 80 big ones but I was convinced by my photog friend who swears by it. The conversation started when I was complaining about my back and my feet. I tried switching shoes (even wearing tennis shoes to a wedding), which definitely helped. But in the end, I was still feeling pretty beat up after a wedding (I don't have good feet in the first place). I realized that no matter what I was wearing, if I'm carrying 10-15 pounds of equipment during the wedding day, I'm going to have a little bit of pain.what I love about the Waist Shooter is that it allows me carry my 3 essential lenses (two in the bag and one on my camera): the 85mm, the 24mm and the 70-200. I then leave everything else in a safe place at the reception hall. I really don't need my 100mm or my wide angle with me at all times, so I leave this on my assistant or in the safe place. Sometimes I wear the Waist Shooter around my shoulder and sometimes I wear it around my belt. This has helped a ton as far as reducing pain goes. It allows me to last until the very last dance (or whenever they book me till :) with more energy than I normally have when my dogs are barking (i.e. feet are killing me).It's a MUST HAVE for any wedding tog.

SLR gear is heavy, so I want my bag to not be. I have a D700 that I carry everywhere I go. The camera is heavy and bulky but honestly I can't live without it. The lenses for my camera are no joke either. This is where the Waist Shooter comes in handy. When I go on my day trips with my friends, it's great to have a lens bag that 1 - isn't heavy and 2 - isn't ugly. The peace of the puzzle that really put me over the top and made me a big fan was the strap. It's super flexible and comfortable. BTW, if it helps, I'm around 5' 5" and around 120 lbs (female). I can't imagine carrying anything huge and this bag looks great on me. Recommended for anyone around my size.

A little smaller than I had hoped, but it is a nice product.
