Agreed. Accessible, and fast. With a great face-man for the project.

And no more a dust tumbler than a lens cap itself.

The only shortcoming seems to be it looks silly. But beyond a single camera in hand what gear of this ilk doesn't.


We're doomed to be the clowns at the party.

Quite possible that accidents may happen in the heat of the action !

Likewise. I'm not sure I'd put a 70-200 on it but it does seem to work in the vid.

Meh, not only does it look goofy but how do you use it with a MM strap?

I'm also not sure I'd put a 70-200 on there. The 70-200 is so heavy it might make my pants fall down. And then I really would be the clown at the party. Also slightly concerned that the lens mount might suffer on lenses like the 70-200 and heavier.

If I was shooting with one body , a zoom, and three primes (which I do 90% of the time), this dust tumbler makes a lot of sense. I'd put this on my left hip and a Spider Holster on my right.

When I first clicked the link, it kinda reminded me of Wild West revolver shooting in the movies because of the way the thingy spins.

Fumbling with this during a processional, otr banging into pews or reception chairs because it effectively makes your waist wider. The lenses are exposed if you need to move around objects or lay on the ground. For the shooter who stays outdoors or in opposite of cramped spaces sure. But this has none of the function, versatility, or protection of a camera bag or waiste pack. It just looks neat, but thats why the money maker exists so go spend your money.

Lenses are exposed to various things, another thing for me to be conscious of all the time vs. kept in a padded place like a closed, zippable belt-loop pouch.

Looks like three extension tubes melted together in the middle.

I have the Peak Design Capture Lens thing - it's very similar to this except holds two lenses, not three, so you effectively just have one lens hanging straight down. And it works great, you can change your lenses in about 5 seconds and I've been using it with a 70-200 /2.8 without any issues (though I was a bit nervous the first few outings). I have it on a think tank belt so that probably helps.
But yeah, being able to swap lenses quickly is much easier for me than trying to wrestle with two bodies with two different lenses strapped on to me somehow.

Well the Kickstarter for this is closed, with no United States offerings at all. I got on their email list for when they release in the US, but idk what deal they might offer.
