Features:
Feature #1 Unique to Think Tank Photo, all of our rain covers are seam-sealed for protection, similar to outdoor clothing and jackets. This is necessary to prevent the water from leaking into the bag where the rain cover is sewn together. To our knowledge, Think Tank Photo is the only photography bag manufacturer with seam-sealed rain covers. We put them on almost every product we make!
Feature #2 Many of our products have removable padded inserts. As shown in the photo, the dividers can be removed from the insert and reattached inside of the bag. Some items like teleconverters, batteries, and other photographic and computer accessories simply don't need much protection, so you can reduce the bulk of the bag by taking out the padding. This also makes the bag more compressible for travel purposes.
Feature #3 The Modular components can be attached to the Pro Speed Belt, and can either "rotate" or "lock" on the belt. In this photo, the Speed Changer has been rotated directly over the front pocket for convenience and comfort. Because our system is "modular" it means you can carry them many different ways: on our Pro Speed Belt (as shown in the photo), on a regular belt, with a shoulder strap.
Feature #4 All of our Modulus components can be attached to the waistbelts of the Speed Demon, Freak, or Racer, for added capacity. This photo shows a Speed Demon with a Lens Changer attached on the left. The ability to switch components on your waistbelt, depending on what you are shooting, is a tremendous advantage.
Feature #5 Modular accessories are designed to "Rotate" or "Lock" on the Pro Speed Belt. This is a tremendous advantage is have this type of functionality. Most photographers "Rotate" the bags on the belt, preferring not to lock them into position. To "Rotate", put the plastic tongue behind the belt, then firmly attached the bag. This allows the bag to be pushed along the belt to the desired position. To "Lock", put the plastic tongue in the horizontal webbing slot. This will fix your bag in one position.
Feature #6 Our stretchable mesh pockets are designed for items that you need to remove and retrieve quickly while shooting like lens caps. They are also handy for other essentials like sunscreen, lip balm, and other small items.
Feature #7 Another pocket? Yes! This pocket is perfect for papers, tickets, and other items that need to be safely stored away.
Feature #8 All of the Modular components have two webbing tabs at the top of the product. A shoulder strap can be attached between the loops to use an individual component as a shoulder bag. The Curved Comfort strap can be used for most items. To minimize bulk for lighter gear, The Camera Strap can be used instead.
Feature #9 All of the Modular components can be worn with a regular belt. This is especially useful if you only need to carry one bag, and feel you do not need the Pro Speed Belt. Because our system is "modular" it means you can carry them many different ways; on our Pro Speed Belt, on a regular belt (as shown in the photo), with a shoulder strap

Almost perfect for me when shooting a wedding. Can carry one spare prime or medium zoom and a flash along with spare batteries, CF cards and a few misc items. Only thing I'd change is adding a flap instead of or addition to the zippered top.

I picked this up in the local Think Tank Dealer as an "impulse buy." I looked it over and thought I would use it for something...not having anything particular in mind. Little did I know how useful it would be. The following week I spent up at AirVenture in Oshkosh Wisconsin shooting planes, people and airshows. I put the Chimp Cage on my belt for small items and I started carrying some glass since it is roomy enough. I found myself dumping another bag and just working out of the Chimp Cage and a Drop in Lens changer. The Chimp Cage routinely held a 28-70 2.8 Nikkor or 12-24 Nikkor and a strobe or 1.7x extender. I kept a filter in the pouch on front, notebook, pens, sunscreen insect repellant, hand wipes, etc. Each day I would carry a different compliment of gear based on the show schedule and I loved having just a Chimp Cage and lens drop in on my belt. My back felt better with less gear on my shoulders and I stayed out shooting longer than usual. This item is flexable and quick to work out of. For the reviewer that wants a "flap," they do make the Skin Chimp Cage which I also own and use...often to carry an extra pro body. It does have the "flap." I have more bags than sme camera stores. I have most of them in a closet since I discovered Think Tank. Here is a company that does it right. They start by listening to people who use the gear day in and day out, use quality materials and put effort into solid construction. I am going on a hiking trip of a lifetime and I needed a back pack. I picked up one from Think Tank this afternoon. I'll let you know what I think of that after I get it in the field. Given their track record for me so far...I expect it will be great. Think Tank...keep listening to your users! You are doing it right!
