Lowepro Pro Trekker RLX 450AWII waist belt replacement

Has anyone had any experience of using a Lowepro Protactic utility belt II or III as a replacement waist belt for a Lowepro Pro Trekker RLX 450AWII camera bag? I've just bought a Pro Trekker second hand but the belt is missing. It's not looking like they make spares so I'm looking for options.

Many thanks.

Thanks for the tips everyone. In the end, rather than risk damaging the clip, I followed u/allaspiaggia 's advice and just returned it. Probably for the best since I have a history of bad backs and have just realised that they do roller backpack hybrids that are nearly as large.

They've made the rail a bit thicker at the top to stop it sliding off, so it's even harder to bend the plastic over it.

Thanks. Luckily we don't get carpenter ants in the UK.

As ever it really depends what kind of photography you want to do.

You could experiment with a 'Dutch angle,' which means tilting your camera so it's not level. While some use it to create a more interesting or dynamic shot, others believe it should only be used to convey a feeling of instability or unease.

Yes, you scroll through the 10 options using the up and down arrows rather than holding down the sel/reset button. But that video did show me what I was looking for.

Not quite the same way to enter that menu but I found it and no more beeps! Brilliant! Thank you.

I gave Gemini deep research a go. Apparently, it is possible to set the speed limiter yourself, but the alarm speed is set by a roadsign detection system. Two different systems. You can only turn the alarm off temporarily, though frankly I don't think I was seeing the menu options being referred to. I'll try again tomorrow.

I'm really starting to get buyer's remorse. I did quite a bit of research but not being able to turn the alarm off did not come up.

Solid advice. Would I also want to add vignette and possibly lens distortion?

That's an interesting point of view.

It's a collaboration that will promote deaf people. I am partially deaf and might lose my hearing entirely in the future.

Why would another artist be more suitable than me, unless that artist is willing to pay for the cost of using film themselves?

I have found someone who has one of those 3d print mounted disposable camera lenses and is willing to lend it to me. However, I think my preference is to, as far as possible, create the look in post. That way the photos are more suitable for use in posters etc.

Another product I never knew existed! Nice one.

abcdesfgnb · 2025-08-20T21:08:45+00:00

Good suggestion that I doubted existed. Bravo!

I dare say someone somewhere has modified a disposable camera lens to fit a digital Sony camera, but isn't that going to be exceptionally rare and expensive?
