Recommended holster for hiking?

[Fireball]

I'm wanting to find something other than a backpack or holster camera bag (where you have to unzip something) that just hooks onto a belt or comes with a belt. Maybe something that you can add another case onto the belt for an extra lens. Any ideas/links?

Think Tank makes stuff like that.

My first thought would be a Cotton Carrier.

Be sure to look at the videos if you are not familiar with it. Several TPF users also have them.

Check out the fanny packs for hiking. We have one that holds two large bottles and then has a small compartment in the center to hold flash, cards, and batteries.

I have a Mountainsmith Day lumbar pack. It holds medium format and/or 4x5 cameras. More than I want to carry if I fill it up. It's good for day hikes. Room for light things like a jacket plus camera stuff too. The side pockets will hold lenses.

I have the Think Tank Pro belt with the #30 holster for my Canon 7D. The holster
expands to hold a 7D and 70-200 attached. I also use an extended length Op-Tec neck strap for additional security. This set-up is comfortable and safe with very easy access.

I use a think tank speed racer, comfortable to wear and holds cam/lens and extra lens, filters,flash, and some other goodies. Added a drink bag to the belt....works good for me walking the trails.

I have one of these. It has a shoulder strap, and also will mount on a belt.

Here is yet another! I have this one and it works extremely well BUT 35-70 is about the longest lens that i can get to fit in comfortably

This is what I have, and went all over NYC only bumbed my camera once or twice and that was just the first day I had it. I love it and have a case for an extra lense.

I just bought the Case Crown Rugged Travel Sling on Amazon for like $30. I'm not a hiker, but I wanted something that was easier to carry than a shoulder bag (they won't stay on my shoulder), that could handle multiple equipment w/ extra room for as I build up my equipment stock.

I haven't gotten it yet, I'll get it this week, today even.. maybe
