Although the bag adjusts well to the camera and has space for extra lens, SD cards, phone, and personal items it is BULKY and NOT comfortable to carry. The strap that goes around the back is impractical, cumbersome and makes you feel strapped in, without it the bag swings around with the weight of the equipment. I’m returning the item

This product is great. As I have 2 little ones you need something that keeps your hands free. I can just grab the bag and throw it over the shoulder and we are ready to go. You can quicly get to the camera when that shot is just right. I also like that it holds one extra lens. I don’t need more then 2 lens so this is perfect and not to bulky. I also found that strapping the bag over your shoulder makes it almost feel weightless. The sling in the case is great as I don’t worry about the camera bouncing around inside.

Fits my Canon 5DMarkII with a 28-80 lens attached in the clever hammock compartment. Room for 70-300 lens AND a 420Ex flash in side pouch, and a couple of filters, etc. in the small front pouch. Attaching a Canon monopod to the outside, while slightly awkward, works well enough. Could probably fit a couple more pouches on it somewhere, but at some point you start entering backpack territory, I guess. I really like this sling.

All I can say is great! Some say to small for other items. I have 2 lenses, a mini tripod, 2 batteries and charger. A couple chips, and small reference book. And plenty room for more. Perfect size. It’s small and slings over your shoulder. I have a Canon T1i. My sis just bought one after she saw mine.

Looks pretty cool. Feels comfortable. Definitely convenient for constantly taking the camera in and out. I had a 70-300mm lens with small hood on front and I was able to leave it all attached…..It was a bit too snug if I zipped both top-flap zippers all the way with everything attached, but I only zipped both half way so that I could quickly grab it.

There is a neoprene-like material stabilizer that is there for centering /guiding the camera in. Its got a star like hole in the middle to center your camera. It is only attached to one side of the interior which allows you to leave it down or attach the other side with the use of Velcro. I wasn’t too crazy about it because if I left it down – the camera lens/hood would sometimes get caught in the star pattern, and if I left it up it was difficult to get it in with the lens hood attached. The solution would be to either get a pair of scissors to trim the star pattern back – making the hole a bit bigger or just simply cut the entire flap off…its a simple fix, and realistically the flap isn’t needed.

Good for an on-the-go shooter. I was able to fit the necessities, like extra battery, two additional lenses, phone, manual. I liked how there was a small convenient zipper pocket that I used for the lens cap. There are some straps to include a small tripod.

There is an extra lower wait belt/strap to keep the sling bag a little closer to your body. Its okay but not necessary. I just tucked it somewhere on the other strap to keep it out of the way. I think its good as long as you don’t have a good size beer belly going on, because the strap going under this type of belly will help your tummy look bigger….probably why I didn’t like using it….everyone else will be fine, and again, if used, that lower strap will ad to its hi-tech coolness.

Overall, its a smart sling system to have as part of your picture explorations. I liked being able to quickly slide the pack around to my front to grab the camera, and liked that I could just as easily slide it to my back to continue walking. Its a comfortable design and not bulky. While doing action shots, I found that with one hand I could hold the pack close to my front area and quickly walk or light jog to another shot. When shooting from inside a car, its compact style made it easy to have someone pass me the bag from the back seat to the the front so I could pull it out and grab a shot.

I was originally going to say I would recommend it for city walking, forest/hiking shots, and action photography, but because of its compact sling design I’d say its a take-everywhere type of bag.
