Review:
The pods in the Q-Loader system are larger than a normal 140rd pod. Many harnesses will not be able to accomodate the increased size of a q-pod. This harness was designed by AIC (the manufacturer of the q-loader) to securely hold the q-pods.
The pods are held vertically and are accessed from the bottom. Velcro closures ensure that you won't drop your expensive q-pod somewhere in the field.
I would have preferred a horizontal orientation similar to the Redz Omni pack. I normally reload with my left hand. I can do this twice, but after that, I have to switch hands or move the filled pods to the left.
The pack also has three elastic loops for holding more pods, but I have never used that feature.
The setup is comfortable. Much better than most cheap packs. There's ample padding and the wide belt gives good support.
There's no option for holding a remote tank.
I would have liked to be able to get the pack in camo. The q-loader is primarily for woodsballers or scenario players, and we could use some camo options.
Conclusion:
If you need to hold your q-pods, then this is the pack for you.
