Hi. I love the sling style but I'm worried this bag will cause a sore shoulder/back after all day, multiple days at Disney with a DSLR &amp; kid gear?

I've worn it through a few activities (football games and school plays, etc.) and found it more comfortable than a conventional backpack. The shoulder pad is thick enough not to "dig" into your shoulder and the hidden waist straps secure it to your body. The plus side of the shoulder style is that it's easy to swing around from your back to get to your equipment. That would be a plus on some of the rides at Disney (like the safari), you won't have to take it off each time.

Yes it is, I have a 7D with a battery grip and a 18 to 250 lens that I carry all the time, I use it as my purse and when hiking in Yellowstone I also cary bear spray in it. I have 6 other camera bags and 2 camera back packs and this sling bag is by far my favorite.

Per my review:In the lower removable section, I am able to house my D700 (NO grip, not needed for hiking) with a mounted 14-24 and unmounted 24-70 (or vice versa).I could also place my sb900 and a sandwich in the upper bag area or even the front pocket.I love this backpack. Perfect for Disneyland or multiple hours on your feet. Looks sweet, very comfortable, houses my d700 and 24-70 and 14-24 (D800 should be very similar in size), AND MOST IMPORTANTLY can carry diapers and diaper wipes in style :D

Whenever I do something active like biking and some hiking, I would use the secondary strap. That kept the backpack in its place no matter how much I was moving. To pull it to the side and use my camera, I would have to remove the secondary strap otherwise the bag would stay in place.

It should be comfy. I use mine without the underarm strap sometimes, so it does slide a bit without it, but for just casual shooting it should be fine. I'm not sure why the female version doesn't have the underarm strap since it doesn't restrict any movement.

Here's another "No' answer. I just checked it out. I removed the padded velcro compartment which is meant for the camera and there was no way that it could fit. I hope that Lowepro offers something for a small macbook because I was VERY impressed with my sling bag. I used it as a combo purse/camera bag. It was awesome.

I agree with Carrios and Lyn. I was a little worried about lack of padding, but did not actually find it a problem. I did wish there was a connecting strap across the upper chest sometimes. It still worked very well for two weeks' use in Europe .

Personally I think this is a perfect product for that! Unlike neck straps that dangle in front of you the Joby Sling Strap can be fastened snugly against the body and rotated towards your back giving you more freedom to move/climb without the worry of knocking your camera/lens against something in front of you. That's assuming your not doing crazy climbs in that case you probably would be better off with some kind of padding. I have the Low Pro Sling Backpack that is great for extra protection & easy/quick camera access.

Thanks. I'm thinking of using waterproof drawstring tote bag such as Liberty Bags Large Lightweight Nylon Drawstring Backpack which measure 17 by 20 inches and available at Amazon over the seat and tying it securely. Not sure what the seat measures but I wonder if that would work? PS: In red of course!

Maybe, but i doubt it would be as safe or comfortable as a soft structured carrier or a regular wrap for back carry, and you would defintitely need a helper to get lo on your back safely. The is a sling, not a full wrap. I only felt confortable wearing ds in front carry until he was about 15lbs, and as a hip carry for short periods until about 20 lbs. Having said all that, this carrier was ds's preferred carrier to nap in as a newborn. If you are looking for something to transition better to an older baby/ young toddler, but still help baby feel cradled, a full wrap would be a good choice (however, it's my understanding that they can take a while to get wrapping techniques down).

Hello, My apologies about the late response. This bag is too small for your gear. It is not deep enough. Regards, Roozbeh OC camera

You can slip a tripod through the back straps or attach it using the buckles on the over flap for the camera storage pocket but it is not made for this and therefore could damage the straps or buckles. My tripod is 7.2lbs so I am afraid that it will cause strain to the bag that is not intended, I just carry mine in a separate bag when traveling and then in my hand (usually with camera attached) while on shoots.

I agree with Archery Farms: "mostly floppy". A standard size lady's beach bag is much stiffer. My wife suggested, maybe spend a little more money, buy something more practical and "classy".

The strap is very slightly curved, to fit on the left shoulder with the camera on the right. I tried it on the right shoulder. Because of the curve, the strap sits on the edge.I don't know if this will feel that uncomfortable, but if I were you, I would get the RS-4 version.

It is a solid bag, and quite heavy with the camera and extra lens. Don't know about all-day carrying. Could be tiring.

I think the straps should be long enough to work for you. There is about 1 1/2 feet of padded strap and then about the same on the adjustable web strap as well. She should have no problem in using this bag.

I took my Maya on RAGBRAI last year, I carried about 50-65lbs all week without any problem. If you are planning to use the red bag that comes with it though, I suggest not to overflow it with stuff. It tends to rip pretty easy.
