        Too heavy even before filling up with photo gear and the strap is not comfortable at all. Would not buy if I had known.

          Comments about Lowepro Slingshot 302 AW:

          Bought this bag to fit my camera gear and a small telescope for a birding trip.Felt I needed this amount of space but after a few days into the trip I discovered that the sling design essentially distributes the weight of the contents so asymmetrically that it started to affect my back (I've never had any back problems before).I also found the 'sling design' when birding a non starter, as the zips make so much noise that the birds are long gone by the time the camera gets out!
          I still use it but I don't overload it.I carry my camera over my shoulder which sort of defeats the purpose.
          6 months after buying it , I 'm looking for a replacement.

          Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

            I like this bag a lot, a backpack that you don`t have to take off to get to your camera etc.
            a well made bag for everyday use, when i don`t want to carry a lot of stuff as in my domke bag.

                  This is perfect for carrying two bodies with one attached to a 70-200mm lens.
                  there is still room for more lenses and speedlites. The rain cover is very good and the slingshot is ideal for getting to your gear quickly. Build quality is fantastic and design is great too.

                    A good bag for general use - comfortable and the hip strap is great when walking distances. I bought this for landscape work because I wanted a bag that gave me access to my gear without having to put it down on wet sandy rocks - it a great alternative to a backpack (good to carry but a pain once you start to shoot) and more comfortable than a hip bag.

                        I bought this bag over a month ago and I'm more than pleased with it. As a small time wedding and portrait photographer this bag provides everything I need. Adding to that the ability to sling the bag for easy access to the camera must have had the designer smiling for days. The quality of build is flawless, with a pull out cover adding another layer against the more extreme weather.
                        Like most camera bags the inside can be moved around for a tighter fit when carrying extra lenses and other equipment. At the top there is another compartment that will comfortably fit extra batteries, memory cards and other small equipment.
                        Overall this bag is an excellent investment for those looking to travel with their camera.

                        My husband uses this product now on all trips around the country. It packs in his gear including all lenses comfortably. Easy to get equipment out when ready to point and shoot. He particularly like the sling carrier mode and now prefers it to a back pack.
