Mighty tick makes stuffing

Of the little things I need to take with me to take pictures. I had one of these years ago when it came out and it didn't meet my needs at all, but now it's the perfect solution to my problem. In the summer when I'm chasing storms, I carry my camera gear with me, but constantly running to the van to get the knick-knacks I need here and now is very difficult. Because of this, I lost some good shots last year. Not this year! I keep my entire lens cleaning kit in a side pocket, from the Lenspen to tissues, lens cleaner and cotton swabs. I keep a spare battery and remote control in the other side pocket. The front pocket has instructions for the zip release and any other small notes in the pocket at the back, my headphones fit in one small pocket and my bluetooth headset in the other. My phone is in front of him. The main compartment contains a Tim Bean pocket filled with everything you need: a small can of bug spray, a pack of tissues, dental floss, my pill case and so on. There's also room for a Kindle Paperwhite in an Omoton case and my Sony camcorder. An LED flashlight is attached to one of the D-rings on the shoulder strap. I took it to my first photo shoot this weekend and it did the job without getting in the way. I rode it on the belt and everything was fine. And I'm not a small person. It's rainproof, perfect for chasing storms and light enough to travel discreetly. Highly recommended for those small items you need to take with you when you're not home. Organizes way better than pockets and has a military look so you don't have to worry as much about social stigma of men wearing "belt bags". This is not a fanny pack, it's a tactical gear bag!
