Now, Preston has another project out on Kickstarter , called the Lens Holster for Nikon. This product is perfect for the photographer on the go, allowing them to easily and quickly change several lenses without having to deal with lens bags.
As you can see the product has a strap, that can go over your shoulder, or around your waist. The holster allows two lenses to click into place quickly so that you can switch easily between three different lenses.
I had the pleasure of once again interviewing Preston on his latest kickstarter launch.
Q:What inspired this product?
P:The Lens Holster came about because I wanted a way to hold my camera lenses that wasn't heavy like a camera bag, and also didn't require a long time to switch lenses. I thought it would be great to simply have another camera body, but without the expense. So with that idea, I created the Lens Holster, which is a simple and effective product to hold your lenses.
Q: What challenges did you face with the Lens Holster?
P:A big hurdle with the Lens Holster was sourcing the parts. Nearly all the parts are custom made, even down to the shoulder/waist strap. I worked with many companies to find the best parts, and built the prototype seen in the pictures with their products.
Q: This is the project that won you the Husky Start Up Challenge, how do you think that influenced the product?
P:Winning the Husky Challenge for me was validation of the idea, and seeing the excitement people had about the product inspired me to move forward. The prize money enabled me to continue development and helped get the product where it is today.
Q: What sets this product apart from other camera accessories?
P:The Lens Holster is different because it is unrivaled in speed and convenience. Lenses are right at hand level, and can be switched in seconds. This sets it apart from other gadgets such as a camera bag because they take longer to switch your lenses.
As a backer of his last project, I am very excited to see where the latest invention goes. If you are interested in the Lens Holster For Nikon, you can go to the official Kickstarter page for more information.
