Description:
|
Perfect for photojournalists, the SlingShot 100 AW uses a unique sling design to go from “carry mode” to “ready mode” in just seconds. Carried comfortably on the back, it easily rotates to the front so you can get to your camera quickly. The SlingShot 100 AW holds an SLR with mid-range zoom lens attached 1–2 extra lenses, cables and accessories and has a full access lid to make loading it a snap. This feature-rich bag also includes a built-in memory card pouch, micro fiber LCD cloth and two generous organizer pockets. It’s certain to surprise even the most demanding photojournalists.

I bought this bag as i was going to London for the day and wanted a bag that was small enough for a couple of lenses and camera and also a bag that i could get at the camera without taking off the backpack. This certainly ticked all the right boxes.
It is well made as with all Lowepro bags, there is enough space for two small to medium lenses and a camera body with a further lens attached. I use it to carry a 30D with a 17-85mm Canon lens attached, a 60mm Canon macro lens and the Sigma 70-300mm APO DG lens and that combination fits in snuggly, you definitely wouldn't fit anything bigger in the bag.
It has a small compartment on the front of the bag enough for memory cards and batteries and a larger compartment at the top of the bag large enough for chargers, leads and small amount of cleaning kit. There is a built in water proof cover tucked in a small pocket at the base (Might go unnoticed by some, i didn't realize it was there until I'd used the bag 2 or 3 times)
As for use it is very easy to use carried on your back as normal then when you need access to your camera you slide it around to your front and open the side pocket and you have direct access to it.
All in all a great, compact walkabout bag, but for small to medium size cameras and lenses.

My thoughts on this bag are basically the same as above. I quite regularly use mine with a DSLR, 85mm (fitted on the camera) with a deep lens hood, 50mm, 28mm, flashgun, memory cards & batteries. It is a small bag but would be a good choice if you want to travel light. I don't think that I would pay £50 for it though, not because it isn't worth it but because I like to think I am getting a lot for my money. I bought mine as Jessops had a deal on (or they messed up the pricing  ).

I bought this after having seen a friend's in use.I consider the abilty to have the acess flap fold forwards of High imporatnce when working in the field. For a day out the weight is a huge factor and the user knows where each item is stored if speed of use becomes important.the inclusion of a shower cover is excellent. Overall this bag is the one I reach for against the larger backpack I have. At 76 I have no hesitation in giving this my approval
