Customer Reviews

Invaluable
I bought this bag principally because I wanted a set-up that would make it easy to change lenses -- with my previous lenses-in-padded-cases-in-my-backpack set-up, I had to stop, take off my bag, find a flat enough surface to work on (so lenses don't fall over and get damaged), and then juggle two lenses while I switched. With the SlingShot bag, you flip it under your shoulder and have a nice flat, safe surface to work on, with two easy-to-grab lenses. Now it's easy for me to switch lenses to get just a shot or two. Plus, there's enough room for me to carry both film and digital bodies, and useful gear like cleaning supplies and a raincoat for the camera.

If you're using this bag as a daypack, the 300 is the only one with a big enough top compartment to be useful. You can easily fit a couple of energy bars, a rain jacket, a guide book, and sunglasses in the top compartment -- perfect for a hike or acting the tourist.

For travel, I would've liked a laptop compartment -- the 300 is large enough -- but it's true that I wouldn't want to haul along a padded compartment all day long.

At first the single shoulder strap seemed heavy to me but I got used to it. Keeping the waist belt tight is key to wearing the bag comfortably and is also constant work as it seems to loosen easily on me. Note that the strap is *not* switchable right-left so you'd better be happy with your right shoulder.

Make sure to get the water bottle holder accessory!

Sling Shot 300
As my lens collection increased, I managed to outgrow the smaller camera bag I bought when for my D50 and kit lenses. I got the Nikon 80-200 2.8 lens - amazing - and then realized the only bag I had for it was an old camcorder bag. The slingshot 300 fills the needs I have for the 80-200 2.8 on the body, my three other lenses, and everything else I need.

The straps are very comfortable and I love not needing to remove a backpack to access my camera; most of my shots are outdoors. The bag slides to the front offering easy access on the fly. The 300 has a sturdy backpacking waist belt to distribute weight to the hips for comfort, and the rain cover works well and tucks away nicely.

Great bag, Too small for any additional lenses. But other than that, mine works well. Thanks, johnny k.
