The minute I opened the box, I put my Nikon D40 in it and added the lenses, battery charger, extra batteries, memory sticks, and all else necessary to spend a day photographing. It is a great camera bag for me, an older woman with back and neck problems. Thanks.

This bag is great. If you take your camera with you when you want to take photos while you are travelling or think you may run into a photo opportunity then this bag is for you. This style bag provides for easy access to your camera and a comfortable way to carry a fare amount of weight. I carry my D70 and an 80-200 mm f2.8 with me and maybe a wide angle zoom. That's quite a bit of weight and the bag/strap feels good on my hip-and out of the way. I really like having the camera in a bag on my hip over on my shoulder. The bag also provides a little "workspace" if you need to rest something while you manipulate a lens or something. This bag will also teach you to carry only what you really will need. I was guilty of taking too much with me before which was a real pain. The detachable side pouches are great for quick adjustment of your load too. I think a backpack type bag would be a waist of time unless you need a way to carry all of your gear on a hike. Otherwise, can you imagine having to unsling a backpack everytime you wanted to access the bag?! The hip attachement for this bag is great because it allows you to easily shift the bag to a point where you can sit, stand, hike, or access the bag quickly and easily without removing it.Bo

I wanted lens holders for my digital camera when switching from telephoto to close up on the same trip and this bag was it! I can take all of my equipment or pare down to carry only the camera. And, the waist clip lends itself to trekking through the wilderness hands free!

Took this unit on two trips. In Paris Metro functioned but the waist strap kept slipping. I also did not think about steps going up the Eifel Tower, had enough room to carry too much that day but was glad that I had the additional equipment.
I also used this on a camping adventure to the smokies and the unit protected my equipment when I got caught in a small squall.

This is a great camera bag. Well built and rides well on your hip. BUT, there is not enough room in the main compartment. I use a Canon 20D, 580 flash, 24-70 2.8 and 70-300 IS for most on location shoots. The 20D with the 24-70 lens is all that fits in the main compartment. There are inserts that are in the main compartment to support the camera that do have some room beside them, but not much. The two side lens pouches are fairly thin. The 580 flash fits in one and that is just fine. All in all, this is a fine bag.
from Littleton, CO on 4/3/2007
Great product for carrying camera ready to shoot. I use the 17-55 mm 2.8 lens attached or can use with 70-300mm as well. Case has room to fit the D2x or D200 with battery pack and lens. I leave lens hood off for getting camera in & out more easily. A great case for hikes and traveling.

Lowepro Off Trail 2, Holster Style Belt Pack for 35mm SLR Cameras, Black. by Lowepro has proved to be a great bag for Weddings, and other parties. I can load up extra batteries, extra flash and more in this easy to use bag. I can put my camera in and the bag as a hoster when i wear it around my waist while shooting.
from La Puente, CA on 3/26/2007
Love this product. It frees hands till you need camera. Perfect for hikers, or traveling in general. Is easy to wear & use. Love the extra compartments, plus the detachable lense holders. Can easily store extra camera with attached lense for weddings, sports events, etc. Perfect gift for photographers on the go. I should have bought this product sooner.
from Mt. Juliet, TN on 3/26/2007
I have used this bag while riding my bicycle. A back pack gets heavy. This bag around my waist keeps my camera and lenses handy where I can get to them quickly. I am short of stature which makes wearing the bag in front a little awkward so I slide it to the side and it is fine.
from Melbourne, Down-under on 3/26/2007
If you are owner of DSLR camera with multiple lenses [especially at least one of a medium telephoto size - Canon 70-200mm f/4 L] than this Belt pack will be perfect for you. You will feel that all your equipment is ergonomically well placed, protected and giving you still a reasonable freedom of movement [not dangling & flying around you like individual packed lens cases].
from Connecticut on 2/15/2007
I was looking for a bag for my D200 that would fit my 18-200 lens and have room for my 12-24 as well. This bag was perfect with the ability to take the side lens pouches off or only carry one as needed. Having the weight centered on my waist took all the strain off my neck and shoulders and often in between shots I could rest the camera on the lid of the bag. As a rule I always kept the camera strap on my neck and was still able to place the camera in the bag. There are several storage pockets for digital cards and miscellaneous items you may want to bring. I used this bag for a 15 day European trip that included on average 8 hour tours daily. I would not consider traveling without it, my back was never tired carrying all the weight of my gear and the choice of carrying the side pouches was a great design idea. Somedays I brought both somedays I only brought one. During our visit to Scotland we had some light rain and it was so easy to shoot pic's and immediately drop the camera into the pouch for protection. Overall the bag worked out better than I expected. Using my backpack would have been too much on and off to get to my supplies.

from Oslo, Norway on 2/5/2007
I love this bag. I can carry my camera, 70-200f/2,8, 24-105f/4L, 17-40f/4L, filters, batteries, memory cards ,+++ with no problem. Very comfortable to carry around, and the gear is easilly accessible. Great for day trips/hikes and light travel. If I don't need all the lenses, I can just take off one of the holsters.
If it wasn't for the 70-200 lens, I might consider the Off Trail 1 instead, but for my use(and gear), it doesn't get any better than this. Highly reccomended.
