Review Summary

I am a big fan of Lowepro slingshots. I had the 101 and the 301 and one was too small and the other too large for everyday use. The 202 turned out to be just what I needed for my Fuji X stuff. Plenty of room , a big pocket on the top for misc. stuff and a holder for my tripod on the side.

Exceptionally well constructed. Very comfortable when carrying. Well designed for carrying camera, lens and accessories. Choice of sizes to fit photographer's needs.

I had the 102 Slingshot and really liked it, but with a new camera it was too small. This is perfect for a Nikon D800, flash, and spare lenses. The zippered pouch at the top holds my filter wallet and it has a rain cover to protect your equipment. Since it's a sling, it's equally weighted across your chest and can be carried on just one shoulder. When you want something out of your bag, just slide it to the front, unzip and there you are.

I use this backpack when I go bicycling around the lake, I don't need to set it down to get to my camera, I just swing it around and all of my equipment is right in front of me for easy and quick access. I don't even have to dismount the bike to take a picture.

Much more room than your basic camera bag, and pretty comfortable. Plenty of room for accessories. The side-loading compartment makes stowing/grabbing your camera pretty quick and easy. The downside to this is that all the sub-compartments inside are perpendicular to the quick-access flap, so if you want to get at any lenses/flashes, you'll have to take the bag off and fully open it up. Additionally, large telephoto lenses are a tight fit, and may require some reconfiguration to fit (though that could also make them easier to access). Bottom line: I'd recommend this for anyone looking for a bit more space than your typical camera bag, and want something that's a good value.

I was looking for a camera bag that gave me access while in the field and comfort while getting there. This is it.

Well designed bag but it's too small for more than one pro DSLR plus a flash and a couple of small lenses. I ended up returning this and got the larger 302AW.

This bag is well built. It is a one camera bag. I have extra lens, their hoods within the main compartment. The camera and lens are in a well padded compartment. I can also carry my cleaning kit, battery charger, filters.

I bought this pack to carry my equipment around during the day and easily access it. The pack is well constructed, but it is uncomfortable and does not rest well on my shoulder. It's also difficult to get at the equipment and even more difficult to zip it back up once you take the equipment out. I see no advantages over a regular pack and wish I had just bought one instead.

I was looking for a new case to take with me as a grab and go bag. As I was looking I came across a vidio about this bag. I had a back pack style bag that I really didn't like. Haveing to take it on/off to get to the camera or your equipment, or when wearing it over just one shoulder it kept me off balance. The Lowepro SlingShot keeps me balanced because it's evenly carryed and I can get to my camera in a flash(hehe). I hike a lot and this bag is perfect, from the easy camera access, to the weather proff pouch (which I have used in a sudden rain storm)This bag is awesome!

The size,material,versatility and the price are great. I wish if the tripod holder were wider.

Tis bag is great for transporting gear, but the front opening gear storage under the camera areea is somewhat inconvenient to access and potentially a way to dump items if you are not careful.

I haven't been able to use it a lot so far, but it is very convenient and easy to use. I like it a lot better than my old shoulder bag.

I carry a Canon T3i with battery grip, standard 28-80, 80-210, a 50 macro, flash, and diffuser. This bag has plenty of room to hold everything, and still room for at least one more lens. There's plenty of room for the battery charger, extra batteries, etc. You can also easily access most of your equipment via a nice side opening, which isn't displayed well in the pictures. However, there is quite a bit of wasted space in this design. I wish they had extended the padding for an extra lens, but oh well. If you use Compact Flash, the memory card slots will be pretty tight, as it seems to be designed for SD cards. All in all, I would highly recommend this bag!

I just upgraded myself from Canon T1i to Nikon D7000 and bought 3 lenses(most of the items are purchased from Adorama, directly or from [@]) and I desperately needed a nice bag.I chose this one,202 AD and believe me I am not repenting.Its the coolest bag I ever had,you can place 3 lenses(including 2 big telephoto,1 speedlight) and there is a less padded upper compartment which you can use to keep your charger,memory card and cleaning set.I am taking this bag to my first trip and hope will have an wonderful experience.Cheers!!

I had a SlingShot 200AW for about 3-4 years. Great bag. I carry a Canon Mark III with 100-400mm L lens, plus the 24-105mm L, and the 17-40mm L. Tight fit. Well the zipper finally came apart. The rest of the bag is still in great shape. Went to the Lowepro website to see if it was under warranty. All Lowepro products have a lifetime warranty. I called and they wanted the production number from the bag. Emailed the production number and they replaced the 200AW bag with the 202AW bag in less than a week. No question, no hassle. It is great to have a company stand behind their product the way Lowepro did. I highly recommend Lowepro products.

I was looking at the sling bag by lowepro but it did not have enough room for my DSLR, lenses, small HDD video camera (personal use), and chargers. I ended up getting this one as it would hold all my equipment, business cards, wallet, bridal emergancy bag, and a few other things. The only things I don't like about the bag is that when I have it in sling "mode" it hurts my neck to keep moving it to get into the bag which was the main reason I bought it. It is also hard to get into the bag with it on your back unless you just want access to your camera and no extras easily. I am keeping the bag for short family trips but getting another bag for when I am working. I do like that the straps are convertable. I mainly use it in the sling mode but when the strap get's annoying that way I snap it in to the waist belt. I also like that it is small enough not to get in the way and is not all that heavy. I LOVE that is has a waterproof cover that comes from the bottom of the bag to protect it from the weather. I live in FL and have not had to use it yet but it is a nice idea.

The custom sections in the storage section could be more flexible with more velcro placement options. The pack is perfect for ease of use and stability while in use. I love the fact that I don't have to completely remove it to access it, very nice vs. a regular 2-strap backpack.

I loved my 102 and the 202 is just as tough, well-structured and smartly designed. The only criticism I've ever had is that it's uncomfortable for shapely women. But no one seems to design with big chests in mind.

Lowepro SlingShot 202 AW Series
By MARK T.
This slingbag is such a delight to own. I knew I did not want a full on backpack (to big)and my camera bag was getting to small.the 202aw fits the bill just perfect.I have three lenses ,one sb600 and my d300s in the main compartment plus a rocket blaster. Easy access to everything is top priority for me and it performs that task very well.The 202aw also has a tripod holder so I don't need to carry it in my hand anymore. I am a big guy and that is not an issue with the 202aw.
Best bag I have found.
By John L.
I went from a slingshot 100 AW to the new 202 AW; while the changes are minor they really make it more efficient to organize your gear. I have a Nikon D100 with a 70-300 VR lens that fits like a glove in this bag. I can carry it all day and with all my gear and have quick access to what I need when I need it.
SlingShot AW Series... The next generation of SlingShot AW from Lowepro. Designed for the photojournalist. Adopted by the enthusiast.
The fast-access SlingShot AW series builds on the inventive design of the original and incorporates what many photographers are looking for: faster access, extra space for personal items, improved organization, and the ability to add a tripod.
The SlingShot AW offers more volume in the upper compartment for extra accessories or personal items. A Hideaway Tripod Mount system with foldout holder and quick-release buckle secures a compact tripod to the side.
The same inventive design letting you quickly rotate to the front to access remains a tried-and-true feature of this customer favorite. Also includes: a patented All Weather AW Cover; 3 SlipLock attachment loops; built-in microfiber cleaning cloth; and more.
