Do you fancy a bag/tripod

Like the way the bag opens to get the camera out and think the tripod idea is good,never being a parent though not sure about walking round with it in front of you.

For the right situations where your only goal is getting pictures it could be perfect. For most, and especially just for walking around, not so much.

I would rather pierce my nipples and walk through Compton half naked blasting the Village People's YMCA on a cheesy '80's boom box, then wear this thing.

Maybe. But perch yourself in a tree stand 40 feet up with a couple long lenses waiting on an eagle to come back to its nest and I bet you sing a different tune.

I see what you did there. LOL

I think it would be too restrictive shooting eagles/birds, plus too noisy as well. I would climb up there with one cam ,one lens , maybe a monopod and let the chips fall where they may.:)

For walking, hiking, general woods/desert bumming like I do, clearly it's no bueno. Putting the weight on my chest like that just doesn't work for me because... Well... Because it puts the weight on my chest, which changes the whole dynamic of my stride, balance, etc.

It *is* a clever design though!

Small perch and those chips would likely fall 40 feet straight down. There are places where a bag next to you or on your back are utter impossibilities. For an amateur this is likely a ridiculous purchase, but for a wildlife/outdoor pro this could be the perfect tool.

1st thing I though when I seen it, was one of those front baby carriers.

Just another gimmick that will wind up in the closet next to the lava lamps and the skis. Maybe for video shooting, it might work, but for stills can't imagine it being a very stable, tripod platform.

HA HA HA HA HA Nope not for me!


Hey Jake my friend!
Just to join in on the pro theory. Though I see setting there on the ledge with this pack, I have a question for you my friend! How would the pro climb up to or down to that tiny ledge with that reconfigured baby carrier strapped to his chest like a turtle with it's shell on backwards? Lol :)
