Bought this because I didn't want to carry my full-size camera bag on a recent trip to Hawaii. The Tamrac Velocity 7X sling pack worked beautifully. I have Nikon D90 and I brought along a 55-200mm kit lens and a 35mm prime lens, as well as charger/spare battery/cable, two filters, and a lens hood. Everything fit easily, and I could have brought more stuff if I wanted to, although another lens would have been challenging.
Pros: portable, reasonably comfortable, and easy to access your camera without taking it off. It was soooo much more comfortable than my full photo backpack, and the fact that I didn't have to take it off to get my camera was a huge plus. It also fit into my regular non-photo backpack nicely, though tightly, for airplane carry-on, with some room in my backpack for other stuff. Interior has three configurable regions (with moveable vinyl & velcro rectangles); it's awkward to reconfigure but versatile. You could in theory take all the rectangles out and just have a big open space, if you wanted. I stored my spare lens in one section, camera with lens in the middle overlapping the third region where I hid my charger/spare battery/power cable. It also has a small zippered region in the top flap which I stored filters in. The front pocket had limited space (I put my memory card, small lens hood, and sometimes my cell phone there). Once I got the strap the right length, it was very easy to swing it from back to front (to access camera) and then to back again. It also has a hidden waist strap to keep it from bouncing as you walk, though I didn't really need that much.
Cons: As other reviewers have noted, it doesn't balance well on its own on the ground, making loading it up slightly more awkward than necessary. I generally loaded and unloaded it while wearing it. Some females may find the chest strap uncomfortable because of where it rests (my wife didn't like it). The top zipper can be a little tough to open and close; this was mainly just an annoyance. I found it was not super water-proof (fine for light drizzles; not so great for downpours). Size limitations (obviously); though that's sort of the point If you want more space, use a bigger pack :) Very large diameter or very long lenses may not fit well; the ones I took were 52mm; I have a wide-angle lens that I didn't bring but tested out in the pack. It was a much tighter fit.
In summary, this pack won't carry all your gear, but it will carry some of your gear very well and very comfortably. Recommended.

I am new to dSLRs and bought this for my first camera, a Nikon D5100. I have the kit lens (18-55mm) and one additional lens (55-300mm). Both lenses fit in this bag plus the camera with a whole extra space on one side. I dont have a whole lot of other gear. The zippers and snaps are a little difficult to open, but I think I will adjust to them. I like how lightweight this bag feels with all my gear in it and I feel like everything is protected fairly well. I would reccommend this product to others.
I really like that the camera and my biggest lens are in shooting position when I pull it out of the bag!
I read about a lot of bags before I chose this one. I took the dimensions of my camera and took into consdieration the bulkiness of other bags. I also wanted something that could be completely zipped shut so I wouldn't have to worry about gear falling out the top/sides when I set this bag down. I think this bag wears really well so I won't have sore shoulders on longer outings. I also love that it doesn't scream expensive camera bag.

I use a full frame camera, namely the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, and before buying this bag I tried to read in Tamrac website to see if it supports full frame cameras or not but I didn't find anything about this point. When the bag reached me I discovered that it was not designed for full frame cameras. The only way I was able to use it was by removing all the separators inside it, but this resulted in 2 problems: (1) the camera with a lens attached to it (EF 28-70mm f/2.8) used almost all the bag space which means no more space to put anything else in the bag like another lens or a flash, (2) the camera stuck a little inside that made it not easy to remove from the bag which was a little against the idea of velocity that the bag was designed for.
To be fair with the quality, the bag takes 5 stars in quality as all Tamrac bags are very well made (I own other Tamrac bags as well). But since I wanted it for my full frame camera I rated it 3 stars. They should have mentioned that boldly so one knows before buying it.
To accommodate my self, since on hiking I usually keep my camera on my neck I am planning to use the bag for lenses and filters which in that case makes it easy for me to change the lenses or filters in a velocity way especially if I am alone. In other words I am not very sad that I bought it but I would have been much happier if it was designed for full frame as well.
Finally, for sure I will buy more Tamrac bags in the future because they are really well made and heavy duty.

This is what I was looking for: a bag that can carry my essentials when I'm out and about. It's durable, protective, comfortable to carry when I'm on a long walking excursion, and the sling design and top opening provides easy in-and-out access to my camera (a Nikon D7000 with a big 18-300 zoom lens). It's also easy to sling the pack towards my back when I'm wearing the camera outside of the case, so it doesn't interfere with walking around or taking pictures. I can carry the camera with lens and filters attached, a smaller point and shoot digital camera, chargers for both, cleaning accessories, and a spare battery. If I don't take the smaller camera, I can take the flash unit for the Nikon instead. No room for extra lenses or other gadgets, so this probably isn't the case for storing all your gear, but as a carry around it does the job well. As I recall, it comes in several sizes; this was the one I needed because of the big lens. Other sizes might be more suitable for other needs, so I would recommend actually trying several sizes with the equipment you want to carry before deciding which one to buy.
