The bungee cord Stile Collection: Solo VI Holster from Manfrotto is slightly larger than the Solo IV. It's a water-repellent nylon bag designed for the person who likes to travel light and shoot fast. The Solo VI is reminiscent in design of a 19th century cowboy's holster - at the ready to "shoot" when the opportunity presented itself.
Lightweight and durable, the Solo VI holds a DSLR with attached longer zoom (similar to a 100-400mm) in shooting position. You'll also have a front accessory pocket that holds batteries, cables and memory cards as well as an additional neat little pocket in which you can store your Manfrotto pocket tripod.
As mentioned, this is a real shooter's bag. It closes using either a zipper or quick release buckle - and each can be used independently. For example, if you're traveling in a car or subway and want to completely protect your equipment, use both. However, if you're walking through the park and are looking to shoot, unzip the bag and simply use the buckle that will hold the front flap in place until you are ready to rapidly withdraw your camera.
Carry the Solo VI by its wide, adjustable shoulder strap. At a touch more than half a pound, you'll hardly know it's over your shoulder. Backed by Manfrotto's warranty against defects as well as being reasonably-priced, the Solo VI is a bag to be reckoned with - both for its durability and functionality.

Comments about Manfrotto Stile Collection: Solo VI Holster (Bungee Cord):
Pros: Sturdy material and clip, nice color, great size for a telezoom.
Cons: Not much room for anything else (wallet or glasses: ladies, you will still have to carry your purse!), zipper is hard to close and open (I leave it open pretty much all the time).

Comments about Manfrotto Stile Collection: Solo VI Holster (Bungee Cord):
The bag is very good overall, but I believe it ought to have a zipper for the inner pocket as well. I use the inner pocket to place things such as an extra battery, a shutter release cable, cleaning cloth, etc. But when the outer pocket isn't zipped (i.e. when it's just buckled), I worry that these items might fall out when the bag is placed sideways, or when I move hectically. Granted this never happened because I paid attention, but these objects always seemed on the verge of dropping out. A zipper would also make it easier to tack these objects inside, as cables tend to protrude outside the pocket's limits. Of course you could always use the outer zipper (the only actual zipper), but then you'd have to unzip it everytime you wanted to use the camera.
