I have 2 Think Tank bags and their belt system with attachment bags. My back 
no longer hurts after shoots :) Well made and great customer service if you 
have questions or any problems. The bags are designed my photographers and 
even listen to input from other photographers. They make a memory card 
holder called the Pocket Rocket which I love since it has a cord and clip on 
it to attach to their bags. If I pull the Pocket Rocket out and drop it,it 
just hangs from the bag.
