Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW

Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW User Reviews

A BIG little bag
“This pack has a unique backstrap; it allows you to wear it like a backpack but be able to quickly “sling” the pack around to remove the camera. And the ergonomics of camera unloading are spot on; as you rotate the pack around, the bag shows up about mid-chest, the partial opening flap (ceated by the click-locks) flips away from your body and the camera sits safely nestled ready to be removed. When your done shooting slipping the camera back is as easy and secure as removing it. Whoever thought this one up deserves a raise. Oh, and on top of all this, the bag is weather resistant.” – By Mike

Well-made small bag
“High-quality construction. The sling strap distributes weight well. The compartments are small. You will not be carrying excess equipment with this bag. I can get a small DSLR with a small zoom mounted, a longer zoom, and some filters in the main compartment. I could probably get more in it, but then I couldn’t get anything out quickly. “ – By L.

Great bag
“This bag is a great travel camera bag. I’d struggled with a square camera bag for too long! This bag is extremely comfortable, easy to use as advertised, and handled the weather. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a bag to hold a DSLR body, a few lenses, and other small goodies. Great bag!” – By T. Bowman

Good camera bag
“This is the most comfortable camera bag I’ve ever had. It’s also very convenient to take the camera out and put it back in. My only dissatisfaction is that it’s too small. It only holds one camera w/ lens, one extra lens, and batteries and memory cards. It doesn’t have room for water bottles or clothes, which is not very convenient since I use it to carry my camera when I go hiking. Overall, it’s a very good camera bag. get the 200 if size is a concern. “ – By yuexb

Great for Travel, wish I had purchased larger version
“I purchased this not too long ago for a 1 week trip to Seattle/Vancouver. I love the style of the bag, it’s a sling. Very easy for me to use while I was sightseeing as it was easy to get the camera in and out in a snap. It also has a third strap that comes from the bottom right and clicks to the sling for better support. Definitely glad it had that 3rd strap as it helped distribute the weight a bit. Do wish that it could switch shoulder straps.” – By Christina S.

Good for small DSLR zoom system. Needs tripod lashing
“I’m able to comfortably pack my Pentax KX w/ 17-70 zoom (77mm front element), Pentax 55-300mm and still have space for another smaller zoom in the main compartment. Plenty of room for small flash and other accessories in top triangle compartment. Its comfortable and snugs well against my body.” – By F. Porter

Not your average bag
“My husband and I purchased this bag because we loved the fact that it didn’t look like your ordinary camera bag–less bulk, and easy to carry. The shoulder strap makes it very easy to swing the bag around and access the camera. Plus there is lots of extra storage without adding to the size of the bag. “ – By Katharine Johnson

Great Backpack, what you see is what you get
“I was wondering if my D90 with my 18-200mm lens mounted could fit, and it does perfectly! Just the right size for this camera. It has space for two more mid-small lenses and there’s still room for more stuff in the upper compartment. Great deal for hobby photographers. “ – By L. Pascual

Perfect for the Family Guy
“As a father of three daughters of various ages involved in many activities, this bag has been a Godsend. With diaper bag, stroller, and other things that accompany me on every outing, this camera bag makes carrying around my DSLR a minor afterthought. because this is a shoulder bag/slim backpack centered on my back on the go, it is very stable. It also allows me to carry a should strap diaper bag and still have both hands free to push the stroller, get the baby out of the car seat, etc… “ – By S. Duffy
