That's the same setup I use Jeff P.

I inquired with FLIR about a holster for the BCAM SD model and I was told one didn't exist.

Works every time.

Go figure.
I like this version even better.

I'm with Kevin Richardson on making it work for you...about 1/3 paid for here.


I was my bride's idea to buy the backhoe and motorcycle...the IR camera was the same.

I've gotta come up with some of my own ideas...

Wow - Jeff that tool belt looks heavy. I carry a flashlight and GFCI tester with me while walking and my camera.

Anything else stays in my bag at the kitchen countertop, till I'm ready to go to the basement.

When I do commercial buildings, I use a tool bag on the roof so I don't have to rappel off roofs and go back to my van for tools, but once I get off the roof, it goes back in the van. This morning I did a little 9,500 sf 85 year old 2-story bldg with retail, office, and loading dock on the 1st floor and 5 apartment units upstairs. To mount the roof, I had to use a 21' extension from the outside stair landing to get onto the roof of the truck dock; then I used my 17' little giant from that roof to the roof over the 1st two apartments, then used my 12' Tele-Steps to get on the upper roof over the loft apartments. Yes, I wore a tool belt that sees use maybe once a month in situations like this.

BUT, most times its too bulky and makes me look like an inspector instead of a Building Consultant.

I didn't get done till almost noon, and boy was I ready to drop that bag. Makes my shoulders sore.

I like the efficiency, and I don't mind looking like an inspector.

It's relatively light (I used to wear a 75 lb. belt as an Ironworker), and the heaviest single-item is the BCAM.

I'm going to buy all the ones like mine, at walmart, and sell them for
a one dollar mark up.

Gentlemen, may I take your orders?
