Product Description

Color: Blue

The Velocity 6x - Compact Sling Pack is a compact sling pack designed for a compact digital or film SLR with a zoom lens attached up to 5 long, another small lens or flash and accessories. The sling pack design is versatile to carry like a backpack, but can be easily accessed by sliding the pack around to the front. The secure zippered Quick Flip Top opens away from the body for fast and convenient access to camera gear. A well-padded sling strap comfortably distributes the weight, but need not be removed to quickly access photo equipment. The front pocket has organizer pockets inside to keep a mobile phone, PDA or photo accessories within easy reach. It also features Tamrac s U.S.-patented Memory & Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify available memory cards from ones that are used up. A pocket inside the lid stores filters and lens caps. Add optional Tamrac accessories using the attachment slots for our Modular Accessory System (M.A.S.) products to customize this sling pack.

Length:: 3:35 Mins

The Tamrac is a perfect fit for my Digital SLR camera.

It fits the camera with a 18-55m lens as well as when the 55-200m lens is attached.

There's not really room for storing lenses, but you could store extra batteries and a charger.

The bag is easy to open and the top flap pivots away from you when opening.

It has some waterproof coating on it

It would be nice to fit an extra lens in there, but really when I'm out an about, I choose the lens I'm going to use for the excursion.

The bag is very well padded compared to the other options I saw.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice design, but too small for DSLR, December 15, 2007

I purchased this bag thinking it would be perfect for my new DSLR. Unfortunately, my entry-level Canon XTi fits too snug in this bag...and for those of you familiar with this camera, you know that this is the smallest DSLR out there along with the D40/D40X . The top zipper was holding on for dear life when I tried to squeeze the camera strap in there with the camera.

I quickly returned this bag and upgraded to the Velocity 7x 5767 instead. The 7x will also give me a chance to expand my lens collection being able to hold a 50 prime and basic telephoto lens.

I just bought a Nikon D40 with a telephoto lens. The bag fit perfect and while it's a tight fit for the camera plus an extra filter and lens hood, it does all fit. It's probably good to be a tight fit so that the camera doesn't move around much. The front pocket is nice for small things too, but no space in the bag for the battery charger and cable. Good quality bag that should last.
