The white Stile Collection: Agile V Sling from Manfrotto is slightly larger than the Agile 1 version. The Agile V is also a functional compromise between a backpack and shoulder bag. For the shooter who likes versatility, this may be the perfect bag for you. With its padded, comfortable strap, you normally wear it on your back. However, when you're ready to shoot, just swing it forward to the front, unzip the lower compartment, grab your camera that is held with attached lens in shooting position, take your shot, re-zip the bag, swing it behind you and move on. Unlike a traditional backpack, you won't have to stop, take the pack off, retrieve your gear and shoot. The Agile V provides the happy medium with which to both tote and shoot in one fell swoop - in one swift motion.
Externally, the bag is made from a durable water-repellent nylon. That makes it a great shooter's bag since you won't have to worry about getting caught in a summer's rain or winter's snow. The back of the bag even has connections for strapping on a standard-sized tripod. The back strap is wide and comfortable with an additional under arm quick release strap for additional support. The side of the bag has a zippered access pocket from which you can easily extract your camera with mounted lens when you "swing" the bag forward when you want to shoot.
Internally, the bag is divided in two halves. The top half is smaller and is for personals such as glasses, book, phone or MP3 player. The bottom half is the main compartment and holds your DSLR with attached lens as well as 2-3 additional lenses within the movable, padded dividers. The dividers provide a convenient way to configure the bag to suit your equipment needs. In addition, you'll have a separate area in which to nest your Manfrotto Pocket Tripod.
The Agile V is a "run-and-go" type bag that is designed for the person who is constantly on the move and needs a bag that can provide both secure storage and rapid access to the gear. Manfrotto warrants the bag against any manufacturing defects.

A very cool and convenient sling. For any photographer, this sling is one of the best ways to store and carry your camera. The inside is completely changeable. The entire inside is lined by a soft cloth that velcro sticks to. It's a lot larger than it seems and there is plenty room to store a DSLR, two lenses, all other misc things. The only downside is that there's only one small compartment on the side. The entire bag is high quality and padded very intensely. The sling is also adjustable and has a extra buckle for keeping the bag in place. Great buy!

Comments about Manfrotto Stile Collection: Agile V Sling (White):
What I would say is their best bag, if you don't need the tablet zipper access (Agile II). It has a comfortable feel, and unique look. It fits my Sony Alpha A57 camera just fine, and the adjustable velcro walls help with cushioning and depth (depending on your main lens size).
The only con I could come up with is there is only two access points, one through the top to reach the upper half, and the left side pocket to reach the lower half of the bag. Depending on your wall arrangement, reaching the bottom right of the bag is a little difficult.
Easily eliminated by managing the internal arrangement right, but more than enough room for 3 alternative lenses, chargers, batteries, and a well placed pocket near the very top for my memory card. Also comes with seperate straps to be used to connect additional gear on the outside.

I have only taken this bag out once so far, but I liked the way it fit/felt. Seems to be easier on backs and shoulders sensitive to weight!

I bought the Agile V Sling bag as a gift and it is just great. It's everything I hoped for and arrived quickly, too. It has room for the camera, extra lenses, any gear, really, and what I wanted most was a place for a tri-pod and this one works great and the bag itself looks terrific. My daughter is a professional photographer and she thinks it's a really good bag.

I use this pack on my road bike along nature and wildlife reserve paths. It's durable, light weight and easy to get to my gear on the fly. I also use this for event shooting. Again a great pack and love the feature of locking my tri pod on board.

Lightweight, durable, and comfortable. Was looking for a bag to replace my old sling bag, and glad I did. Deep, easy pockets, and the included tripod clasps are a lifesaver!

Comments about Manfrotto Stile Collection: Agile V Sling (White):
I use this currently just to haul extra equipment until I get my new camera, but once I do, I know it will be a great bag. The way that they strap is designed is great to alleviate weight from the back so that it doesn't hurt to carry for long periods of time. I would buy another in an instant. Great bag for the money.

Manfrotto is the name brand of name brands when it comes to camera products, and they make a really nice bag. The price after MIR is so good for the quality of what you get in this bag.
Made very well, and holds my gear for small trips and day outs when I dont want to carry my massive backpack that holds all my gear.

Comments about Manfrotto Stile Collection: Agile V Sling (White):
This sling is really durable and fits a lot of items though it looks small. I get a lot of compliments because it looks stylish. I haven't used it long enough to see if it gets dirty easily since it is white.

Comments about Manfrotto Stile Collection: Agile V Sling (White):
I previously used a shoulder bag for my D70, but it was too small to fit extra lenses or my stuff. This pack has room for my new 5100, old D70 body (when traveling), two extra lenses, charger, cleaning kit, and my wallet, keys, phone, and snacks for the kids. It comes with straps for attaching a tripod, as well. It has lots of padding, and is comfortable to wear. Only criticisms: could use a few more organizing panels in the main compartment, and the small side pocket is too tight to really fit anything but a lens cap.
