I was looking for an alternative to caring everything with me. I was tired of running back to my bag of goodies to swap lenses and putting a customer on hold or potentially missing a shot because I wasn't ready. I've also been reaching for those beautiful primes these last few weddings and just couldn't put them away *drool*
What do I do, convert from a single camera one lens and bag to two bodies with thinktank modular set :lol

What you see here is a Thinktank speed belt + modular set and the DR-1 double strap (holds two bodies around ya)
I'll admit, it felt a little too much at first but after walking around the house, then around the block. I was surprised how comfortable everything felt though! The dual camera gun slingin works like a charm, no need to worry about swapping from long to wide anymore. If I did, it would only take me an extra 10 seconds.
Question is, do I need all this? That's what my secondary. We communicate and make sure we're not both shooting longs at any given time. I think the setup really shines is when I'm on my own. I've always fought my battles by picking my lens before the attack. Now if I'm stuck in a tighter situation, I just grab my other body and shoot wide.
I still don't know though, is it too much? The real question is, how the fuck am I going to get through a packed house at one of those Chinese wedding! :lol
