Lowepro Slingshot 100 AW


For a unique camera bag option, the Lowepro Slingshot 100 uses a sling instead of normal backpack straps for a sleek design that rotates from back to front in a second for quick camera access. This innovative bag opens from the side panel to expose your gear contents for easy camera or lens retrieval.

A perfect day-tripper bag, the Slingshot 100 carries a regular SLR plus a couple of mid-range lenses and minor accessories for full day of sightseeing or other activities. The upper compartment holds a flash, batteries and cords and can be used to store your personal items, like a wallet and keys, too.

The sling anchors across your chest for a snug and secure fit and a waist support strap clips in to keep the bag stable when riding a bike or running. Overall the Slingshot 100 is a durable and strong camera bag that carries a minimal amount of gear without feeling bulky.

According to users, some camera models don't fit very well in the 100 and are better suited for the Slingshot 200, especially pro models with battery grips. If you are not sure your camera will fit, then try to search for specific models from the hundreds of online reviews available.

The sling is designed to fit over the right shoulder without the option of switching to the left. It is also not suitable to wear the sling over one arm like a purse strap.
