New DIY lug-mount method by Sam Bennett, quite cool hor?
"Here's some photos of my Hip Holster which I've "perfected" lately. Perfect solution for the GF1 since I can carry the camera around even while holding my 6 month old son around with me. Grab the camera, shoot, put it back. The bungie stop gives a satisfying "click", so there's no doubt when it's seated.
This consists of a tool holder call the Big Lugg 2 that I got from Home Depot (Husky brand). You can also find it at Amazon. It comes with the holder and 3 bungie-ball cords to attach to a drill, hammer, whatever. Instead of using the bungie for the camera (to minimize bounce and to actually fit through the strap mount) I popped the cap off the ball, took a shoe string and ran it through the mount, putting a tube of shrink-tubing around it, run it through the ball, then tie a couple knots in the end and put the cap back on (so the ball stays at the end).
The "perfection" with this version is the addition of the bungie "stop" on the holder itself. This is the tricky bit, it took me a few tries to get it right. The trick is to use a round file to cut a notch into the holder so that the bungie provides just enough resistance so that the ball doesn't pop out when you run around or sit down, but not so much that you can't pop it into place. The plastic sleev at the bottom is included with the supplied bungies - so you just use the bungie you removed, make a loop, tie a knot in the end and slip the sleeve on and work it into the notches, with the knot at the bottom - this prevents the bungie from receding, which keeps it tight. Makes it a little awkward when putting it on, but works great after that.
Great inexpensive DIY project. I love this system. Yes, the camera bounces around a bit and its easy to bang it up against things - but with the 20mm on there, this is exactly what I need. The camera stays out of the way when I don't need it but it is immediately accessible. Since this is a Live View only camera, it's much more convenient over a strap since I found the strap typically just ends up getting in the way."

Very useful!!
Reminds me of the bomb defuser kit of my CS days when we see these types pouch ard ..hee;p
I bought the original panasonic half leather case DMW-CGB1-K from Cathay Photos less than 3 weeks back. It's actually pretty easy to remove for mounting tripods and changing your SD card/batt. Bought it for around $45 or is it $49. Cheaper than the orginal Pen leather casing. They also have the original cases that covers the pancake lens and the 14-45 lens. Can't remember how much though cos i wasn't interested in that.
hi actually. i'm quite new into all these. and since it's all in Japanese over at that Amazon site.
I wasnt able to find the email address.
is there any way which i can get the email so that i can email them in english?
Sorry for the trouble.....
This 1?
, why i wasn't offered to buy this leather case? for my EP2? LOL :bsmilie::bsmilie:. Nice!!!
There's an email here, try
er. i'm afraid not this one. cos that is the half leather case.
what i was looking at is the Suono Tready pouch.
