dSLR Dad

ThinkTank Photo, maker’s of some of the best camera bags out there (see the dSLR Dad Holiday Gift Guide), is offering a coupon for a free gift with any total purchase over $100. The offer ends December 31, 2007. You can download the coupon here.

The following is part seven of a much larger dSLR Dad Holiday Gift Guide:

If you’re not looking for a new bag, how about a great accessory that anyone can use, the Pee Wee Pixel Pocket Rocket from Think Tank Photo. It stores four Compact Flash cards and three Secure Digital cards in an even smaller, more compact package. Can be attached inside of Think Tank Photo products or to your clothing.  That way, it just doesn’t fall out of your pocket, lost forever.  It can also hold business cards in the front face.  Available for just $13.50. Note, the slightly larger Pixel Pocket Rocket comes standard with quite a few bags (including the one I bought).

Ben Willmore, from Inside Digital Photo TV, has posted a video detailing his use of Think Tank Photo’s Modular Belt system. If you haven’t heard of Think Tank Photo, they are a relatively recent company that specializes in making fantastic storage solutions for photographers. For all you dSLR Dad’s out there who have never been happy using a photo backpack to shoot (since it has to come off your back) while you’re also trying to chase your kid(s) around, you should really check them out.

I’ve been using their Speed Freak Belt Pack for almost 6 months now and I love it. It can hold my 20D with a wide angle + lens hood on one side and a stowed 70-200mm f/2.8 right beside it. The belt system also accepts other modular components, so you add different lens pouches depending on your situation that day. Plus, the belt tucks into a side pouch so you can also use it as a shoulder bag.
