The Clik Elite BodyLink Telephoto Pack (Black) is a backpack that converts to a chest pack. It has a padded camera bay that is designed to protect a pro-body digital SLR camera with battery grip and lens up to 8.5" (70-200mm f/2.8 lens. The pack is made from 1680 denier ballistic nylon with 420 denier high-tenacity nylon trim, and a fully lined and taped interior. It also has a height adjustable, aluminum frame that offers 7.0" of height and varied angle options. The BodyLink frame mounts to an optional ball head providing a solid anchor against the body, while allowing freedom of movement. The aluminum frame transfers weight to the body while waiting at-the-ready for the perfect shot, then gives support for the shot when the shutter releases. It opens away from the body to create an effective workstation and it has easy access to pack contents even with the gear mounted on the frame. There are 2 external pockets that provide organization for data cards, cables, batteries and other essential carry-along items.

I use the product to shoot my sons soccer games. I have a large 400mm lens and this bag certainly keeps the camera stable so there is no need for a tripod. It also allows me to shoot multiple frames with no blur.
The only thing I wish the bag had was another pocket for a standard lens.

If you're reading this, you probably understand just how great the idea is. I believe this is going to be on me most of the time I'm awake =)
The bag accomodates a pro body with 70-200/2.8 on and basically nothing more. There are two spacers in case you want to carry a shorter lens along with some other stuff. There are also two pockets, one suits batteries and filters, the other can let in a smartphone.
The angle of the frame incline is fairly tough to adjust (friction elements), I expect it to get easier over time.
Note that the bolt on the frame clamp is 1/4", so I needed a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter to mount a Manfrotto ball head.
Fits very comfortably and tightly both on the back and on the front. I have tried cycling with the bag on the front - works well if torso is long enough (I am 183cm tall) - not sure for shorter cyclers.
There is a rain cover hidden in a pocket at the bottom. The bag is very high quality, semi-hard construction and good padding.

Pack is very well built with great detail to ingenuity and craftsmen ship. The concept behind the camera bag and tripod is something that is going to make shooting video with DLSR even better then ever and more affordable then ever. This company is making packs that are cutting edge and have new ideas to do stuff easer and better. This pack has the ability to help people with limited hand function.

Great for hiking and for photowalk around the city. It's a little tight inside but love the little pockets outside for accessories. Love the the camera attachment, it saves me from bringing along my monopod. When your not using the camera link you can carry it just like a small backpack.
