Lowepro Slingshot 300 AW Review
Camera cases are made for various reasons, including convenience, security and the ability to be normal baggage, not a space charge expensive cameras are very popular. Compared to more traditional shoulder bag is still very backward when it comes to interior provides quick access to the devices inside the bag.
A Lowepro Slingshot 300 AW or one of his brothers and sisters, another story …
TheSlingShot 300 AW is the largest family slingshot, and is probably a good thing, because this is not a small bag with all means. Position (a "professional" camera body or bring a camera with a handle) and from 3 to 4 glasses, accessories and other photographic kit is the model 300 is probably the spacious bag that you want, with a belt of 'shoulder wear . To say that I watched a traditional shoulder bag (think Billingham), probablybe substantial.
Some features of the scholarship are:
Interior dimensions Interior dimensions: 11.8W x 6.5dx 11.8H in / 30 x 16.5 x 30 cm
Separate compartment for accessories, or accessories Photo
Single padded shoulder strap and a padded belt
Built-in rain cover
Loop SlipLock for add-ons
Small compartment on the front pocket for accessories
Built-in memory card pocket
Now there are many pockets, the bear, like a slingshot300, but the main advantage of this bag is the way in which they can be swung from the rear of the cockpit under the left arm and then sit just below the chest. With the side door, then get on the carrier, it is useful to remove the bag before you get to your equipment. From this position pocket serves as a platform to support the elbows at rest.
After a side door opening in the front against a more traditional, I think, actuallydifficult for someone to clear the contents of the backpack without the knowledge of the institutions. With potentially thousands of pounds of equipment, I prefer to keep in mind, or at least where it should be trusted and for me it is a great device which offers such insurance. The strap unique modern design also helps maintain the bag look less like a camera bag and is therefore less likely to draw unwanted attention.
There are two clips onthe front of the bag limit in which it is attached, to see how the side wall can be opened. Besides the fact that the additional security feature that prevents the equipment to be paid on the floor, you should be in a hurry and more than happy to decompress the panel.
While the bag is very comfortable to use, can be uncomfortable when loaded single shoulder strap. Prolonged use may also need to be broken, but with lighter loads, is much less a Issue. E 'can carry the bag on his shoulder, rather than others, but that's not what the bag was intended to do, feels a little' awkward and you lose the ability to maintain the momentum on your mobile device.
To protect the equipment, there is not enough padding in the lower compartment, which can be customized through the walls to the sides of the bag closed with Velcro closure. Can I bring my Canon EF 70-200 f / 4 IS mounted on my Canon EOS> 40D, along with additional lenses and flash without any problem.
Protection against rain is fully integrated, covering the gap in the rain when not in use is stored.
For the theft of a tripod with it, SlipLock loops on the front of the bag is well positioned to help you through the vertical slit. Now the bag is deep enough and with a tripod so that you are very careful you do not press people like you. Turn
Conclusion
There are many things about this bag, how and for photographers who want to be able to go carry mode "to" Shoot mode in time as possible is a good choice. The bag is constructed with quality materials and feels like it is built to last. There is much room for a range of photographic equipment, which should be enough for a whole day to shoot, do not last much longer.
The design of the sling is the killer featureand Achilles heel. For photographers will be carrying heavy equipment for long periods, for several hours at a time, so the ramp could only unpleasant.
For any other use or for shorter periods, the Lowepro SlingShot 300 AW a high quality, large portable storage solution that would serve its purpose very well.
