Have you seen the "TriLens" lens holder? It is cool!

[FITBMX]

I came acrossed this and thought it was a rather neat idea. It would work for everyone, but it could be really great for some!

This is why pros carry at least two bodies.

Wow! That looks like a lot of work!!!
Is that duct tape on some of those lenses?

I have seen those before, they are cool!

Might actually be okay for some uses.

I thought it would be best for wedding/event type photography, for the person that can't afford two camera bodies.
To me it leaves my lenses to out in the open for nature work, I would hit them against a tree or something.

Its going to pull your pants down with all the weight of those lenses on your side!

That is a dedicated shooter!

Not if you take a cue from gunslingers and use a separate belt.

That would be the best way to do it.

The photo was made as a joke by a group of golf tournament photographers. They put several photographers cameras and bags on him for the photo.

I think the photo is still copyrighted and would require the copyright owners permission per TPF Rules and TOS to be posted here rather than being linked to.

"So for the Kickstarter we choose to only ship to those countries that we are 100% certain there aren't any legal obstacles. This unfortunately excludes the US, Japan, Korea and Germany. We will still ship to the rest of the world. We have one of Europe's largest IP-firms behind us and our attorneys are building the case as we speak so we are hoping to ship worldwide soon. But for the Kickstarter we are not willing to risk the money of our backers. They are meant to start the production." - News

In further updates it ships worldwide now excluding the USA. So still be a bit careful before ordering

Hanging a heavy lens depending for safety on a correctly tightened thread mount?
I think I'd rather have another body.

My issues:

1) Backing music is BACKING - darn it whoever did that in the video didn't think that the words being spoken were important it seems

2) I'm not a fan of weight on your belt. It's fine if you're lithely built and if you don't bend down at all and don't shoot after eating and if the lenses are light. Otherwise its going to mean you've got to have it very tight to keep it stable; or risk your trousers falling down - which means its going to dig into your belly which is a nightmare if you want to crouch or just ate etc...

Overall its a neat idea and an option to consider for those who don't have two bodies or the money to invest in another body (esp if you want two the same and your current is high end and thus high price). I would prefer to see the belt attachment purely for position control whilst the weight were on the shoulders;

I would want to see some good reviews, before I bought one. I bet there not that cheap. I would want to make sure they were secure enough.
