~ Cool Photo Product Of The Week ~

I‘ve mentioned this before, but I wanted to officially make it CPPOTW. The Tamrac Modular Accessory Belt is something that is not standard equipment on a shoot, and if I’m without it I feel a bit naked.

It’s a simple adjustable empty belt. You buy only the pouches you want (Tamrac’s modular Accessory system) and clip them onto the belt. The pouches are tough, padded, and zippered, keeping things safe inside.

When I shoot weddings (or just  about anything else) I have this belt, loaded with my lenses, extra cards, cords etc. There’s a broad range of pouches you can add, including one big enough to hold those 70-200 2.8 lenses many of us have.

You can get the Modular Accessory Belt for around 30 bucks  on Amazon, and The Pouches are 7-15 apiece. You’ll probably be in about 100 when all said, but having your gear handy and safe is so worth it. I love this product, and I’ve been using it for over a year now.

  1. Matt, I think I’m going to have to check into the Tamrac belt. A photo vest is not quite working for me in some instances, and I’m averse to carrying a big camera bag on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing info on the Tamrac belt.

  2. I use a Lowepro version that I got at a bargain on ebay. I used it a lot last year for sports and it was great for having my different lenses and accessories at hand. I thought about using a vest for here in the deep south I wanted to keep the extra layers to a minimum and went with the belt system.

About the Author

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
