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.

A very well made camera sling. I bought it for my Nikon D300 before I went on a trip. Plenty of room in it (and some room to spare in the main compartment) for my camera with an 18-135mm lens. Space enough to carry an extra lens with you as well as various small photography accessorites and other small items such as keys, wallet, sunglasses, etc. Sling is a little stiff at first, but I’m sure that’ll ease over time…it is still comfortable to wear.
My only “complaint” (and it’s not even a big complaint!) is that the sling was made to go over your left shoulder only. I typically like slings over my right shoulder. But no biggie, I’m sure I’ll get used to it!

I was looking for very compact back pack to place my DSLR and camcorder and this one fits the bill and it’s better because it is a sling bag.
Here’s what I put inside this bag:
- Canon T1i
- Sony HDR-SR11 (I used the extra lens compartment since I’m not planning to carry extra lenses).
- 3 extra battery, 2 for Canon and 1 for Sony
- 1 compact light for Sony Camcorder
Still have some room space to put some small things like cellphone, compact charger and memory.

I spent days looking for a sling bag before I bought this one. I travel light, but have a Canon 5D, plus a 28-135mm lens and a 70-300mm telephoto lens. I wanted a sling pack to slide my small amount of other personal stuff into while traveling in (potentially shady) areas (and non-shady ones).
Verdict: I love this bag. It is so awesome. The hammock is so cool. But there are some other things to consider:
1. It is going to be very annoying to constantly stop, slide the bag around and take photos. The bag needs some breaking in at the beginning; it is very stiff (and that is a GOOD thing). If buying it for a vacation, take it out for a romp BEFORE your trip to soften it up and get used to the maneuvers required to load and unload your camera. I only say that because it has an usual design.
2. The height of my 5D (from the bottom, set down, to the top near where the flash module would hook into) seems uncomfortable fit-wise into the hammock compartment. I am not sure if an EOS 1- or 5D with one of those battery pack grippers would be able to fit into this compartment. My 5d JUST fits. However, a camera with a full telephoto lens might fit in here without disassembly. There is a lot of space in the hammock for a longer lens than my 28-135mm lens.
3. In order to use this, it is really optimal to remove any other protection: ie, camera armor (which I had) and the strap. To keep the strap on while storing the camera in the bag is to add serious and repetitive frustration to your life when you unload- and load the camera back into the bag. There is just not space for the strap in the compartment.
4. There is limited space for much else if you have a telephoto & default lens. The small side pocket has space for my mini tripod, my folded strap and a few lens caps. The flat pocket over the camera hammock fits something flat, like a manual and some papers or whatever. There are a few other nooks and crannies but don’t expect this to double as a backpack for personal items if you have a lot of stuff. It will fit a camera, a manual, a mini tripod, some other various doo-dads, 2 lenses (one on, one off), and a small variety of whatever else.
Regardless of the above items, I think this is a fantastic bag and is totally worth the money. I hope it lasts long enough to carry my camera to the Southwestern USA, Denmark, Norway, Bermuda and throughout my winter of snowshoeing and winter sports! The padding is awesome and it is very sturdy. When this bag dies, I hope I can buy another one. Perfect for an on-the-go photographer.

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.
