OK....so I was in a pinch one night....I was to be a 2nd shooter at a wedding Saturday morning and wanted to carry my three main lenses.....safely and comfortably. Not content to do the juggling act that I had performed in the past, I determined that "Thinktank" was the way to go for me. However I made that determination a tad too late....where was I going to get set-up with a Thinktank system that soon? I didn't want to pay for overnight shipping.......there was probably somewhere around town I could pick it up but wasn't ready to get raped on the price either. Then a buddy mentioned Outdoor Photogear. (OutdoorPhotoGear.Com)
They're a small operation based in Louisville that ships all over the world. They don't have a storefront but they'll still welcome you to their location and be glad to show you what they have. If you check out the 'about' section of their website you'll see the cast and crew. Maybe the others are scheduled into the picture at various times but only Chris and Kim were present when I showed up in a veiled state of desperation. Between the two, they have enough business experience to operate on a much larger scale, and have in the past, but you would never know that by their demeanor. They are very friendly, down-to-earth people that are glad to help those "in search of" various equipment with their personal one-on-one attention.
They have a lot of interesting equipment. If browsing their website and looking at photos just doesn't cut it for you, drive over and say Hi, and look at the gear in person. Sort of a mini 'try before you buy'. Here's a couple links:

Wanna' see what you do with them Jason.
Very funny Shane.....I'm thinking of one of those for the reception.....I'm tired of chasing everybody all over the dance floor. I would just rather sit in the center of the dance floor in one of those blinds and swivel 360 degrees. Oh....and you'll be happy to know that Thinktank has a Gary Fong attachment so you can carry all your Fong diffusers with one easy 'snap'!
Yes Douglas. Belt and lense holsters/cases. I also have another pack on the belt for mem cards, flash batteries, body batteries, etc.. I think I'm going to add a second pack and try out the suspenders. I could probably save money and time if I just wore an XXL pair of overalls.
