Comments about Lowepro Lowepro Inverse 200AW Beltpack Camera Case, All Weather Cover, Black:

I really like my Lowepro Slingshot 200. But I wanted to get the weight of a big dslr and a couple of lenses (70-200 and 17-40) off my shoulders and on to my hips when I hike or hang around a venue for long periods of time. The Inverse 200 is everything you would expect from a Lowepro in terms of quality construction. The deal-breaker is, when you load the Inverse with the stuff I listed it sags and tilts away from your back. If they had made the strap tie in higher on the bag it might have worked but as is it leans out at about 30 degrees and the only part touching the body is the bottom edge. I'm returning it.

I've had this bag about a month and have found it very useful for my rebel xti, canon 70-200 f4 l, and Tamrom 17-50. The bag has two removable dividers which in the factory configuration allows two lenses and the camera to be stored vertically as long as they are't longer than about 8". Since the camera and 70-200 are 10", I store it horizontally with the 17-50 zoom also stored horizontally underneath the lens part 70-200 camera combination using one of the dividers as padding. I just recently purchased the canon ef 1.4x extender and when it is mounted to the 70-200 camera combo it still fits in the bag.
There is another pouch that has room for filters, charger, batteries and the 1.4x entender when stored separately. The top cover has room for
2 memory chips.
The bag is very well designed,padded and contructed. The separate rain cover is stashed behind the front pouch and the straps for a tripod or monopod are underneath. The extra carry strap, which I haven't used I store behind the padding for your back. There are two water bottle netted pouches one on each side which could carry something other than water bottles but they are unpadded.
I find it very comfortable to wear and it adjusts nicely. I wear it as a fanny pack but just slide it around in front when I want to access anything using it as a work table. The cover has dual zippers for quick entry. Even though I haven't had it long I am very happy with it. When I bought it I thought the descriptions were vague but went with Lowepro's good reputation and hoped it would work and it did. I ride a motorcycle and it works well to carry my gear. I highly recommend it for the gear it is designed to hold. Well designed and consrtucted product.
