I tried it as a belt bag my first time out and it was simply amazing. I shoot mostly for fun, but occasionally I do portrait sessions for friends. I had 2 lenses and my CF cards in the bag and it was so easy swapping lenses in and out in a snap. Lenses fit comfortably, and I could even clip the bag closed when I was on the move for extra security. The only downside is that if you are sitting in the car, you probably need to either take the bag off or take the lenses out as it can be uncomfortable. The main thing is that I was worried about having a belt bag or fanny pack attached on my hip, but surprisingly it actually looks quite good! It is very slim and light weight and while it is still a belt bag, it is the best belt bag I have seen, haha!
But, seems like they thought of that. The bag actually comes with a wonderfully comfortable strap as well so you can either sling it messenger bag style, or wear it on the waist. So if you are anti-fanny pack, it does have a strap as well. I am kind of a girly girl, so I dig the purple and pink covers, which I have both. But, there are tons of cover choices for guys and girls, which is awesome. In a few months, when I get tired of the way it looks, I can just get a new cover rather than buying a whole new bag.
Anyway, amazing product, simple and great design and I would highly recommend this to really anyone that enjoys shooting. Whether you are a hobbiest, portrait photographer, travel photographer, whatever it is that you enjoy shooting, this bag is extremely handy.

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.Best Deals for Undfind WSS102 Waist Shooter Set (Black)
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.Honest reviews on Undfind WSS102 Waist Shooter Set (Black)
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.

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.
