This is a great bag if you don't have a lot of gear and are just on a short, casual trip. It wouldn't be the greatest for traveling or large lenses, but Tamrac does offer larger models. Also a little pricey for what it is.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac #5767 Velocity 7x, Large Sling Pack, for Digital & Film SLRs with up to 6" Zoom Lens Attached, & Accessories - Black:

I attend sports car races and was in need of a comfortable "not too big, not too small" backpack or slingpack for walking around the tracks all day. I also needed it to accomodate my Nikon D90 with 18-200mm zoom attached as well as have room for my 70-300mm zoom for when I need more reach, my speedlight for after the sun sets and storage for personal items like my wallet and cell phone. I went back and forth between the Lowepro Slingshot 100 and 200 and the Tamrac Velocity 6x, 7x and 8x...finally deciding on the Velocity 7x and I couldn't be happier. The Lowepro has more storage for personal items and a built-in all-weather cover but it is much bulkier and wasn't as comfortable to me. My Velocity 7x is just the right size for the above equipment...I also managed to squeeze in my 50mm 1.4 at the very bottom under the camera/lense. I also like that it has sliplock attachment loops on the sides in case I need further expansion for a third or fourth lense or a water bottle. I highly recommend this pack, it is comfortable to wear all day long and is well made. Just determine what size you need based on what you plan on carrying and buy with confidence.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac #5767 Velocity 7x, Large Sling Pack, for Digital & Film SLRs with up to 6" Zoom Lens Attached, & Accessories - Black:

Great bag to use when all you need is to carry basically a camera and flash or a camera and a second lens. Almost invisible when slinging the bag on your back.
It has a nice shape and color, easy access and you can carry other small things too: Pen, Memory cards and ID.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac #5767 Velocity 7x, Large Sling Pack, for Digital & Film SLRs with up to 6" Zoom Lens Attached, & Accessories - Black:

Using the Velocity 6X (pre reverse flaps), which is a GREAT bag, for a while now, I was looking for a similar type to accommodate my Olympus 510 DSLR with 70-300mm telephoto lens attached. I can configure the 7X to hold it ok but not much else. However, pulling it out of the bag just was not working. The reverse flap is part of the problem but also the opening is restricted depth wise when wearing it. The main zipper is a major pain to operate. Just not as good as the Velocity 6X bag.

The bag is very light and comfortable but will carry only a canon XSI and flash.It will not hold my canon 50D. I will probably get a #9 bag.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac #5767 Velocity 7x, Large Sling Pack, for Digital & Film SLRs with up to 6" Zoom Lens Attached, & Accessories - Black:

Adequate space to hold Nikon DSLR, 18-200 zoom, spare batteries, memory cards, various p-series filters, and holder. Could hold a lens or two instead of filters/holder. Rides nice on back or on front when I'm carrying a backpack for long daytrips or overnights.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac #5767 Velocity 7x, Large Sling Pack, for Digital & Film SLRs with up to 6" Zoom Lens Attached, & Accessories - Black:

Descriptions were not entirely clear whether my larger Digital SLR would be accommodated. I took a chance because of a sale, but it didn't work out as it was too hard to get the camera in and out and the weight was not comfortable to carry with the one strap. Probably fine for a small D-SLR.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac #5767 Velocity 7x, Large Sling Pack, for Digital & Film SLRs with up to 6" Zoom Lens Attached, & Accessories - Black:

The camera/lens compartment would be perfect if it had opposing zippers - two that could be pulled in opposite directions to open the top - like the Lowepro Sideline Shooter. Also, the front pocket storage is smaller than I thought. However, I really do like the shoulder strap. It's a lot more comfortable and easier to carry than the Lowepro Sideline Shooter, which is strictly a belt pack.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac #5767 Velocity 7x, Large Sling Pack, for Digital & Film SLRs with up to 6" Zoom Lens Attached, & Accessories - Black:

I found the bag perfect for camera alone. But when I carry, lenses, flash, vertical grip and batteries, it becomes uncomfortable due to weight. I beleive the real fault is in the sling design. I could have been more padded.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac #5767 Velocity 7x, Large Sling Pack, for Digital & Film SLRs with up to 6" Zoom Lens Attached, & Accessories - Black:

Wanted a bag that was comfortable and easy to get to the camera without constantly removing the bag for our family vacation to Disney World. I wanted to bring my Digital SLR and not just a point and shoot. The bag was great, it was easy to get the camera in and out. I carried it 10 plus hours a day for 7 straight days and it never felt uncomfortable. It was the perfect size for my camera, extra lens and my flash.
