Wow, awesome bag. Would keep a bunch of spare, often-used lenses there (my 50mm, 70-300 and 18-70)
The belt pack looks quite handy for the 24-70, 100mm Macro and perhaps a beer 🙂
Wow… I already own a Think Tank Speedracer bag and this would be an awesome addition to my gear! I would definitly put in two bodies (Canon 50D’s), one with a 24-104 F4 IS lens, one with a 70-200 F2.8 lens… I would be able to squeeze in my 100mm macro, 50mm 1.4 and maybe my 40D as backup… I see there’s LOADS of space for batteries and memory cards… The fact that you can strap your tripod to the back is an added bonus!
sOOO could do with a new bag, and yeah, I like the idea of a lens compartment holding a beer. Pity no place for laptop though..
Very nice, I will use it for all the quick access goodies. Camera (Nikon D300) with 16-85mm lens, 35mm prime lens, some grad filters and polarizer and magic cloth.
A Leica rangefinder loaded with HP5.
I’d keep all my equipment in there. I have to use two bags and it’s a nuisance now.
What gear? Easily! I would put in my Canon 17-40 L, Canon 100mm macro as well as a spare camera, the Cano SX330is in there.
For me this looks like the ideal bag to in which to carry my rapidly expanding collection of Nikon equipment. Since I’m currently in the process of “going pro”, I’m putting quite a bit of income back into equipment at present.
Canon 7D with 50mm & 300mm an external flash and maybe some biltong goodies courtesy of local shops..thanks to the farmers!!!!
I’ll use the belt-pack for my back-up 400d with 50mm and probably an extra speedlight.
This awesome looking backpack will come in really handy to carry my Nikon D7000, 18-200mm lens, 50mm f1.8 prime, SB700 speedlight, Kenko extension tubes, and accessories (all purchased at Orms recently). Along with my old Nikon D40X with it’s trusty 18-55 kit lens as backup, my lightweight tripod and my Nikon binoculars. Most imnportantly the 500mm Sigma which I’ll be hijacking from my mother. If there’s any place left for a drink that would be a bonus; Those birdwatching and nature treks deep into the wilderness can be quite thirsty work!
Would be Great for me D3, 70-200 and 16-35mm. Filters and all the Nick Nacks we like to keep! Great Bags…all I use!
I would keep and additional lens, batteries and extra cards for quick access during a wedding in the belt pack!
Lenses – This is perfect for carrying various size lenses and allows for such easy access…..perfect bag!
my beautiful nikon, lenses, flash, tri- and monopod. Oh and my cigs, peak, sunglasses and suncream. Perhaps a little liquid refreshment as well!
This is SO perferct for ALL my gear. Lenses, extra batteries and filters in the belt pack … Canon eos 60D with lenses in the backpack. Great bag. I so want it!
The pack will help me keep all my lenses and filters and other accessories in order for when I traveling in South America next year. With its easy access I can take amazing photos along my trip and wont feel frustrated along the way. It also looks good for hiking and day trips, which will help when I hike Machu Picchu.
My Canon 450D and lenses! perfect!
additional lense, filters and battery pack
My 35mm prime, spare SD cards, and poarilsing filter.
I would put my Canon 70 -300 L lens for my Canon EOS 60D, my external flash plus something to chew on in the in the belt-pack section of the Think Tank Rotation 360°. All else goes into the back. This is the must have backpack.
I think easy access to a wide angle as well as a macro lens, and some filters would be a great use for the belt-pack!
I’d definintely keep my new 50mm f/1.2 in there!
Great bag for hiking… I like the tripod mount, it seems a bit more balanced than those bags that keep it on the side. 🙂
Very cool that you don’t have the whole pack rotating. Less used equipment can be stored stationary on your back incase you should need it.
I would definately keep my 18-135mm in there, some lense filters, my cleaning brush and i think a spare battery will fit nicely too!
perfect for wedding photography, need for speed when changing lenses……….
Would keep my 17-40mm Canon f/4 and 70-300mm Lens’s inside! Looks great!
Hmmm… I’d have to say that I’d store my 50mm prime (fav walkabout lenses 😀 ) & 24 – 70mm, squeeze in 2 of my spare batteries and my bridge camera (Canon sx110 is )
I would keep a macro lens,spare battery and my spare d50 for just in case.
I would have to put in a 35mm 1.4, 24-70mm, head-lamp, face-mask and a packet of jellytots. Yeah, that sounds about right.
Spare Batteries, extra memory cards and some tissues for the “father’s of the bride” and some sunnies just to look as good as my new bag.
Wow! What a nice bag. I would use the belt bag to pack my extra lenses (Nikon 50mm, 18-200mm), lens pen, memory cards and my sunglasses.
most definitely my canon 7d and fuji x100
Very nice! Id keep my Sigma 10-20 in there together with my 35mm f1.8 and my lenspen, microfibre cloth and wireless remote. The camera is never in the bag in any case.
Canon 50D and 24-105L lens, Canon G5, expodisc and filters.
Just what i needed while hiking this past weekend.Would be great for my wide angle ,filters and cloth.
With a bag like that I would pack Canon 5D and 7D body with a decent 300mm or bigger mm zoom and a wide angle lens. A 580 flash and a lightweight tripod and gorilla pod. some spare batteries, SD cards, lens pen. Some Cokin filters and packed lunch, water and I am good to go…
I will store all the extras that do not go into the bag such as my Canon 40D and 10-22mm lens with extra cards and batteries.
Awesome! could really use this is the field!
I would keep the lenses I use most, that being my Canon 50mm ƒ1.4, 18-55mm, and 55-250mm as these are all the lenses I own at the moment, haha.
My new 50mm F1.4 as well as extra cards and batteries, oh and of course my 430 flash
My nikon and 2x lenses, spare battery, tripod etc. Such easy access, very cool
Ill Keep my second Canon 40D with a 50mm f1.4 lens attached and a 17-85mm and a canon 430ex flash.
Definitely the 50 prime, the extra SD cards and maybe the point and shoot, just in case :p
I would probably put my camera in it …;) I could do with it, being a photojournalist and all…
an extra body & lens, and accessories, such as batteries, filters etc
I would use it for my Canon 5D and some lenses(which I am still saving up for), extra battery and memory card and maybe some energy bars(chocolate off course)
It could work to swop from the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens to the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L II Lens . included the Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash + extra memory
Oh yeah, i would keep my 400D with the standard lens. i would also keen my 70-300mm lens and my flash in there. My Swiss army knife and selection of ND filters. Probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep some spare memory cards and a few extra batteries. My photo notebook would also fit in there..so that would be the most valuable items i own. Kinda like a vault of sorts
This bag looks like a dream come true – a place for everything, comfortable and light. I wish I could say the same about my handbag!
Who needs an assistant if you can lug it all around yourself 😀
Just the bag for a husband-wife team…..Perfect bag !!! Perfect to fit my Canon D500 with a EF-S 18-135 mm lens as well as my husbands Canon40d with EF-S 17-85mm and EF 70-300mm lenses.
Plenty of space for a 430EX II Flash, extra batteries and all those essential equipment, something for the road and perfect to fit on my back for those long trips on the motorcycle day trips. Just perfect !!!
What’s in the bag?
Perfect for a Joburg Photowalker expedition; looks like I could fit everything I need in there to walk the streets of Johannesburg – and whip it out quickly if I need to snap something in a hurry. Certainly like the tripod attachment too – that’s good.
Looks like it would fit a 35mm f1.4, my 24-105mm, memory cards, extra batteries and cleaning gear!
Looks like it would fit a 35mm f1.4, my 24-105mm, memory cards, extra batteries and cleaning gear!
Memory cards / 50mm 1.4 / & / some batteries
Later days
Water, Snacks, Nikon D40 and some lenses. Gorrila pod and tripod.
My point & shoot gear.
My one and only S1850.
Any lenses I can fit…
Lenses
Looks like a awesome bag. Just what I need for my new Canon 60D. I will store my macro lenses in the belt-pack, extra batteries en memory cards.
In the write-up it states a basic set of gear if less equipment is required, will be stored in the belt bag. I would store my lenses (24-70, 50mm and possible the 60mm macro) in this bag with hood for 24-70, for quick access – also a spare battery and CF card. What a stunning bag – come on guys, make my day – in fact MAKE MY YEAR!!!!! Mandi
This belt looks perfect for lenses and filters.
My new 55-250mm Lens 🙂
looks like more than enough space to hold my medium format Mamiya RB 67, 65mm 3.5 lens, 90mm , my nikon D40, light-meter and my 18-105 lens, 55mm f2 lens my 18-55mm lens, torches, flash, plus all my filters and accessories …. 🙂 it will do me the world of good !!
Just the old 350d with kit lens. Also the 50mm1.8, 70-300mm, spare CF card and a tin of baked-beans. The tripod and remote cable can come too…
I would put in my Canon 17-40mm L lens and a flash along with spare memory card and batteries.
Def my 24 -70 & F1.8 50mm + some wipes & extra mem cards.
My 24-70, 105 macro, memory cards and a lenspen
I’d keep my canon 550D with my 100 mm macro lens mounted on it. Plus a cable shutter release and a bean bag which is used a lot to support the camera when going down on my knees for those low shots of flowers and bugs.
Quite a lot indeed!!!
I would alternate the 18-200 and the 10-20 lenses. Add in extra batteries, a lens cloth and notebook & pen.
I think this would be great, specifically as my current camera case is a pain to transport out in the field, i love the backpack idea
Awesome belt-pack! Would def keep my Nikon 85mm f/1.8, a Nikkor 20mm f/2.8, Lenspen, spare CF cards, and a backup S95 🙂
My Canon 16mm Fish Eye, 105mm EL – Lens Pen – Mini Bino’s -spare batteries – Canon 50 spare body
All my essential equipment close by for anything from bird watching, airshows, etc and to make sure nothing stays behind when quickly decide on a weekend getaway.
Surprisingly usefull kit!
Spare batteries, memory cards, pen and notepad, my Speedlite if not in use, and whatever lens I plan to use after whichever lens is already in use. I tend to be one of those “take everything in case and keep near at hand” people. I’d probably put everything but the kitchen sink in there and then still make my assistant carry everything else, but at least this would make the load lighter. ;P
My 300s and accessories plus a rain jacket and a slab of chocolate!
Awesome Bag and belt pack. Would keep as much gear as it would fit 🙂 ranging from my 50mm to my set of extension tubes and all the goodies that go with it 🙂
I suppose this will seem funny, but I will put my Canon G9 camera in there, plus my brush and some make-up. A girl’s got to look good near a camera.
I’m studying to be a Palaeontologist and it takes me out of town quite often which means going to some pretty picturesque places, so my Canon 400D is always at my side. Would be quite handy to be able to keep my camera along with the 300m lens I own in one bag, also the belt would be great to hook my rock hammer to, so that it is also easily accessible when I find a cool fossil. Looks like there is even space in the bag for a small fossil find or two. Great bag! 🙂
Definitely for things I need to get hold of fast. My 24-70, polariser, cards & spare battery, and there’s probably still room for my filters too, by the looks of it!
I would put my zoom lens in there, always have my 50mm on camera. I’d also put some extra batteries and memory cards in there. And yes, most importantly, tons of pepper-spray to fend off jealous non-360-owners! Peace out.
urban guerilla:
3 lens’1 body +backup
flash unit
notebook pen cables spares
and a knife
I would keep my 24-70mm, Gary Fong diffuser and my 580EXii speedlite and my circular polarizer inside the belt section of the bag.
Looks like a fantastic backpack! In the belt-pack I will keep my 300 mm lens, a lens cleaner, a hot shoe bubble level and a few snacks. Perfect!
I would put anything that I need quick access to, like spare batteries, memory cards, lens cleaner, my Speedlite and whichever lens is not already on my camera. Great bag!
This is such a coool bag!!!!!!!
my 24-70,100mm, extra batteries, memory cards and some snacks
My extra lenses, some film and snacks of course – all this walking is hungry work! 😉
Very nice.
filters, sd cards, batteries, lens caps…
Such a cool bag – I’ll keep my macro lens and 17-85 lens in the belt pack, as well as extra batteries.
perfect place to keep my 24-70mm close by :)quite a snazzy bag!!!
I would keep my Nikon D5000, SB600 speedlight, my lenses and other photographic gear. This prize would come in very handy for my trip up Sinai in November.
Just what I need, I can now take my 70-300mm and 50mm prime on my journeys, an maybe some space for snacks on those long road trips.
50mm or 35mm prime, filters and spare batteries. I would be using my macro, but may want a quick change for something. Filters tend to go on and off a bit with me, so that would work well. Oh, also a couple of lens cloths to keep my stuff dust free and pretty
Amazing bag! I would keep my 18-200 Zoom, spare batteris, spare memory stick, lens cleaning equipment, ducktape for scene setting, possibly even put my speedlight in there on certain occasions.
I’d keep my 50mm prime lens, as well as, one of the many that are on my wish list – makro or wide angle 😀 I see there is a spot for my spare battery too.
You would keep your extra or other lenses and perhaps extra battery and memory cards
WOW!! Awesome bag. I’ll definitely keep my lenses in belt-pack, extra batteries, some lens wipes, extra memory card, etc….
Wow, very nice. That’s what I call a “Camera Taxi”!
There’s always a spot for more…
Memory cards, batteries, filters, speedlight, raincoat. Everything I may need in a hurry, what a pleasure to have it right there when you need it.
AWESOME piece of kit .. I’ll definitely carry my 70-300mm (once I can afford it!!), a cool drink (probably a beer) and a can of mace – for when I’m out in the bush shooting (pics only) wild animals. LOVE it!!
At last a cool little bag big enough for all my spare film i need to carry. Might just pop the pistol grip release in there as well!! Awesome prize!
A wide angle lens, polarizing filter, Chapstick and a slab of 75% cacao chocolate.
I would put in the extra lens, external flash, my remote, extra batteries and a rain coat for easy access as to not let your equipment get wet.
Most practical! for those long days out. I would put filters, memory sticks, batteries, lens cleaning goodies, remote, wires.
I’d keep my 70-200mm lens, filters and lens pen in it.
I’d keep my 35mm in there with batteries, lens cleaning stuff, memory cards and something to eat 🙂
lee filter set, extra batteries, some ziplock bags, chocolate, elastic bands, cleaning cloth and gaffer tape- you never know!
A Canon 5D, 50mm, flash and hopefully a 24-70 soon. Some filters, batteries and still have space for more.. My current bag is way too small.
Extra memory cards, speedlight, and a 2nd lens. Potentially some calmettes – You never know when you’ll need them 😉
I would put my lens cap in there while I’m shooting (always misplacing it), flash diffuser, extra lenses and lens cleaners. I may even throw my cable pouch in there aswell.
Definitely accessories, extra batteries and things that you remove from the camera like lens caps and the lens pen for quick cleaning. Extra memory cards also. Extra lens maybe and also speedlite.
Everything that can fit hehehe
All your essential equipment for those weekend getaways…
id keep extra batteries speedlite 580exii, off camera shoe cord and my 10mm fisheye =)
Extra lenses, lens hoods, lens caps, lens cleaners and batteries.
Great Bag!!!!
My new Nikon FX that will hopefully be released on the 24th of aug or soon, with ideally the 24mm 1.4, and probably my cat!
Whoah, cool backpack! 7D, and kit items like lenspen, filters, maglite, etc…
Wow! What an awesome bag, would love to own one! Bag at the moment is way too small… Would keep an extra lens, batteries, extra memory cards, lens cleaning kit and maybe some snacks for the trip. 🙂 🙂
Can definately squeeze in my 5D and lots of lenses!!
Aweosme I absolutely love this, I need a bag so bad my d40x keeps getting banged up in poor backpacks and hiking packs 🙁
wide angle and 24-105 L lens would fit perfectly 🙂
The gear that I use to earn my living would live in the bag!
Would defnitely carry my cam with the 24-70 as well as 100 macro, 10-22, speedlight and whatever accessoried – could fit in!
A great looking bag which may be able to fit around my bump in the front created from beer
A great looking bag which may be able to fit around my bump in the front created from beer
My 70-200 zoom lens – nice and easily accessible.
Wow, this bag looks pretty awesome and very functional too. I would keep my 580EXII flashgun in there, along with spare batteries and my 24-70 lens and whatever else would fit!
A 70-200, spare batteries, flash
Lens caps, hoods, lens pen, batteries, filters
What an unusual and interesting way to store lenses in a camera bag!
I would keep my flash and the “other” lens in the pouch. Lenses i use 24-105L and 70-200/2.8L … This should work brilliantly.
The camera bag is well padded and unique with the belt bag,so you don’t waste time on changing your lenses and miss out on that photo shot.
Lenses, Lenses, Lenses. as many as I can I’ll stick them in that pouch.
What a stunning bag…would really look great with my stunning gear in it. When can I come and pick it up?…ha ha Very generous giveaway…someone is going to be very happy!
What would I keep in the belt pack section… Beer.. just beer. Its a rad bag for photography, but I can see the advantages of having it swing around for easy beer access. Just line it with one of those small cooler bags and voila!
Of course if you were shooting weddings or events then it is a super convenient bag for accessing your gear for quick lens changes, speedlights, batteries or cards.
450D, 70-300mm, 50mm, 18-55mm, 430ex, batteries…
Very cool bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll keep my flash, and spare batteries, memory cards in there for easy access!!!!!
Everything that my assistant would of carried for a photo shoot, therefor I don’t need an assistant any longer just the Think Tank Rotation 360° Backpack, more that an assistant could ever dream of!
Awesome Bag. Defenitely keep my flash, spare batteries, filters utra wide angle lense and of course something ice cold to drink on those really hot Cape Town summer days!
Awesome concept and my bag, perfect for my G12 and 5d2/17-40L combo on my landscaping sessions.
Everythin!g that I must get hold of quickly and don’t fit into the Front pocket of this amazing bag… thanks for the opportunity!
I’d use it to store the 10-20 / 24-70 / 70-200 (which ever two aren’t on the body at that point in time), some wetwipes (great for quickly getting mud off your gear when shooting 4X4′ challenges), and some other cleaning products, and maybe a 580 EX II if I feel I may need it on the day.
I’d put my 16-35mm and 70-300mm lenses in the belt section, together with my ND grads, spear battery and memory card. Awesome bag.
Wow!!! What an amazing gift!!! I would love to put in a spare battery and cards – always handy at the most random times!
Amazing bag: My kit would consist of Fisheye lens, spare battery, flash and additional body.
Thanks for entering! The competition is now closed. Winner will be announced shortly!
The belt pack looks like it will be perfect for a 70-300mm lens, some snacks, a Leatherman and the obvious spare batteries and memory cards.
Congrats Fluidlightphotograph you lucky sun of a gun! haha
