How sturdy is the camera box that comes with the slingbag? Will it protect my camera while I travel abroad?

I have taken multiple trips with this bag, and can vouch that it is the real deal. The box is standard Lowepro quality. Simply because of its smaller size and less padding, you do have to take SOME precautions, but I've jostled the bag around a bunch without any issues. I've even dropped a flash into the "expansion" area, which is in essence unpadded, without a problem. Just the perfect size for a camera, two lenses, a flash in a pinch, and a water bottle. Love it!

Well, I thought it was sturdy but i accidently dropped bag with camera and my lense hood and polarizer filter were broken immediately :(

as with Georges comments.The expansion part has an unpadded section so beware.Otherwise it is the better protected area of whole bag.

Pretty good padding -- I traveled abroad with an L-lens and a Canon rebel without a problem.

I believe it will, although is not a box, is just a padded protected bag (or box, but is not hard surface), I really like it, you can take it out and use it in other bags. I usually put my camera in it,cover the top part with a shirt or scarf (the downside is that the padded top is attached to the slingbag) and in to my carry-on while the slingbag travel in my luggage. I recommend the slingbag. is a nice bag to carry your camera, and have a lot of space.

I wish I knew the answer to your question. I've given up on looking for a good and reliable sling for my camera, not familiar with the one you've mentioned though, sorry. It seems impossible to find a good and reliable one out there, I would love to be proven wrong though. Just don't want to take another chance of dropping my camera, scared the you know what out of me when it happen. Not sure if I want to take that risk again, goodluck in your searching.

No! I actually bought a different one for that reason. I recommend you get the Case Logic DCB-308 slr camera sling. This actually fits 2 iPads in the front zipper compartment it works great for me in my trips

For me it is. It's well padded so if you bump in to things or drop it, your camera will be protected. I don't think it's bulky at all. Have fun at Disney!

I was using this bag to carry on my shoulders my camera bag (which has only one strap): BAGCEPTION !!!It was working perfectly, and my reflex and its accessories are about 2Kg (4.4lbs) I would say... But as said previous comments: the bag itself will not protect anything, and it's definitely not the most reliable one... But it's quite unlikely that it tears out completely in one second (I mean, I think you will see local damages before your computer drops down)

yes. the bag can handle it fine. i have a canon t3i, 2 lenses, laptop and a lot of personal stuff without issues.

It is stable for my Nikon d7000.since it is light to carry on, it is not for a big camera with a huge lens

Sorry, I don't travel with it. Probably a large camera equipment bag like we had when cameras were much larger would be good, if they still sell them.

Its a bit of a struggle but its possible. However, it a tripod is attached it needs to be romoved and wedged in the side. It also depends on how much you have it filled because it needs a little squish room. But its possible, I've taken it to france and Africa with no major problems

And BTW I love this camera bag. I have a really big bag for our camera and video, but I still use this everywhere it's lighter and a really good protection case for the camera =)

No, it will not hold of that. I would recommend the Lowepro Passport Sling, it has room for a DSLR with an extra lens and is expandable to hold other items such as you mentioned.

Sorry, I don't know.In fact, after the 4th utilization, this box didn't isolated well and my Hero has gone. The rubber around wasn't good.I spent a lot of money on this case and lost the camera.Never more.

I am not certain. It seems solid enough but it may not hold the camera during rough travel or for long periods of time.

NO!!! it will NOT support a mid or heavy camera, not anything over 1lb. The problem lies in the leg's locking mechanism that will break, it's a common defect, I had a few of these and they all broke (and the cameras were never over 2lbs).

That is the same camera and lens I am using doing my sports photos and it will hold it but it is not real sturdy. It is usable but if I need a new one I would not buy this one again.

I think it's sturdy enough to hold a heavy camera/lens combo like yours. I haven't had any problems with it, but that's an expensive kit you've got and it might be worth it to take a look at brand like Manfrotto. Just saying. After all, your camera gear is only as good as your supporting gear.

I don't think the box is designed to protect from the elements, your camera itself should be safe in the elements with or without the box. the box is designed to protect your camera from thieves.
