 Good Waistpack for Toting a Serious SLR October 17, 2008
The Domke Toad 20 is a well-designed waistpack for your SLR and accessories. I have other camera bags, but I bought the Toad because I wanted a waistpack that would hold my most vital equipment and that would allow me to access it easily without removing the pack. The Domke Toad does that. I can wear the pack behind me while walking around and then move it to the side when I want to access it. I like the fact that the top flap opens up away from my body. There is enough room in the main compartment for a full-size SLR (even with battery pack attached) and a spare lens or shoe-mount flash. The inside of the top flap has pockets for holding flat items such as filters or memory cards. You can also access the main compartment via a front flap, inside which are several small mesh pockets for holding film, cards, batteries, etc. The two side pouches are perfect for extra lenses or other items such as a water bottle.
Another reviewer found the Toad way too large for her. I find it to be just the right size for my needs. I shoot weddings, and I wanted a waistpack that would accommodate more than simply a body with lens attached. If that is all you will carry, there are plenty of other bags or waistpacks designed for that purpose and, of course, they are smaller.
There is only one thing that I don't like about this pack. The adjustable belt loosens too easily. As I'm walking around, it gradually loosens and I have to tighten it up from time to time. That is an annoyance, but I will continue to use the pack anyway. I will probably work on some way to secure the belt better as I use it more.

I am female, 5'6", 140 pounds. Not "tiny", but not huge either. This bag is enormous. I am simply not wide enough for it. This bag sticks out even further than my chest! They should take a photo of someone wearing this monster for scale.
Why are camera bags so ugly? Can't I be a pretty woman and have a giant camera AND wear a dress to a wedding? I thought this would be better than my gray backpack. But really, I am better off with the ugly backpack, that I just leave on my seat. If I need batteries or memory, I just go back to my seat.
A bigger person, literally, might be OK with this bag. Honestly, when you see it on me you wonder how I remain upright. I would think you need to be maybe 6 foot, 200 pounds to wear this without looking freakish.
