The Think Tank Photo Digital Holster series is designed to handle one DSLR with a lens attached. This makes for a lightweight setup when heading out for a casual day of activities and photography is not your primary objective. It’s also ideal for those who are never without their DSLR. I’ve been using the Digital Holster 10 V2.0 for a couple of months and have been pretty impressed with it so far. [click to continue…]
