So if you ask any photographer whats the most important thing after his camera…most will say their bags. Camera bags to photographers are like purses to women. Certain bags can only be brought to certain events. Certain bags will only fit certain lenses. Certain ones don’t match with certain outfits etc etc. [ok ok, I made up the last part, but you get the picture.]
Anyways, I’ve been using a roll-y bag called the Airport International from Thinktank. I absolutely love this bag. I can stuff all my camera gear into here with no problem. And best of all, it has locks so you can fasten it to [hopefully something immovable.]
So to get on with my story, the Airport International comes with a tripod pouch that you fasten to the side. At the last event I worked at, I somehow lost the pouch. Searched everywhere for it…and it was nowhere to be found. Bummer. Look online to see if any retailers sell it. Nope. Give Thinktank a call. Told them my situation and how I’d be even willing to pay for a new one. The customer service rep told me that they don’t sell these separate from the bag. Double bummer. But he said that he would keep an eye out for me if there were any floating around. yeah right. rigghhhtt…like some are just gonna “magically appear”. So I was pretty much resolved that I’m screwed.
Then yesterday, a package from USPS comes. Apparently they somehow were able to find one. I totally though they would’ve just forgotten about me. Thats what I call customer service. You guys rock!
