berger-bros.com How do you select the best camera bag for your needs? Yvonne Berger, one of the photography instructors at Berger Bros Camera in Amityville and Syosset Long Island, explains What kind and how many camera bags you will need. Should you have one camera bag or more than one? There answer is that you should have many because there are many different occasions where you will need to have just a small bag for limited camera equipment, while on other occasions you will need a larger bag to carry a lot of different pieces of camera equipment and gadgets. If you’re just going out on a day trip type of shoot you might need one camera and one lens. In that instance Top Loader would be the best choice because it’s small and compact. If, however, you have a lot of equipment, or maybe you’re traveling with a laptop you might need something like a Think Tank bag because it has a lot of different dividers and can hold a lot of different kinds of equipment. If you’re hiking and planning on taking nature photographs and you need to have your arms free then a back pack is an excellent choice. For more information on camera bags go to www.Berger-Bros.com
How to attach and use the shoulder strap with the Think Tank Speed Belt Packs. The Speed Demon, Speed Freak and Speed Racer each include a padded shoulder strap for carrying the pack as a shoulder bag instead of a belt pack. The strap can also be worn with the belt to give additional support while carrying heavy equipment.

I’ve got one of those back pack style bags with adjustable dividers – mine is stealthy … doesnt look like a camera bag really. I also have a much smaller hand held bag big enough for a camera and one lens. Sometimes I think I want one in the middle…not so big not so small.

It’s definitely a balance between the belt and the shoulder strap! I like to have the belt fairly tight so that it doesn’t feel like it’s slipping (like you mentioned below). The strap acts to keep the bag from sagging over time…just a bit of extra support for long days 😉

Thanks Chris, I think I may have the belt too tight though slightly loose makes it feel like the belt may slip from my waist. The point about the waist belt is to carry the weight more across the hips rather than the shoulder, having it loose brings the carry strap more into play. Perhaps the design isn’t complimenting my frankly larger waist! Love TT bags though, it’s the only brand I use now.

Absolutely! We include ‘triglides’ which can be adjusted to the end of the loose webbing and are used to keep the belt strap from slipping.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact us directly via phone or email

Is there a way to keep the loose ends of the belt from hanging around?

Sorry for the late reply! Our belt packs create a wide plane against your body. Thus, you can have the bag loose enough to turn, yet supported by the wide waist belt. By lifting up the pack just slightly, you create enough space to rotate it around your body. The shoulder strap provides extra support to help with the weight of those large lenses.
Does that make sense?
Keep me posted-

Using the beltpack that loosely though seems to return most of the weight of the bag back to the shoulders instead of the waist or am I missing something?
