Clik Elite Reporter Sling/Waist-Style Bag (Gray)

This is a very good bag which could excellent if it was just a little bit bigger to accommodate a partly-rigged DSLR camera more conveniently. Differing from conventional camera bags the Reporter Sling/Waist-Style Clik Elite is not just a sling bag but also gives support to the back with the waist strap. For someone who does not like the one-sided pressure on the back - which can be annoying when carrying around a sling bag for a long period of time - this is a huge relief. Also, the quality of the bag is very good. I quite like the front compartment in which I can store two 4x4 ND filters. The bag could be excellent if it was just a little bit bigger. Getting out my DSLR with base plate for my Steddiepod could be easier if the bag was a bit wider. Apart from this minor let-down I can recommend this product.

I purchased this bag as a travel pack to make street and scenic shooting more convenient. It does exactly what i need it to. It easily accommodates my Canon 60d with the battery grip attached, and the 18-200 lens attached. I can also carry my Tamron 10-24 lens, 1.4x converter, and a flash, along with all of the other accessories, like extra batteries, memory cards, a rain hood and my BlackRapid RS-5 Strap (in the outer pocket). It also has a weather cover built in to protect the contents in inclement weather. It is a small bag. there is little room to spare with the above contents, but isn't that the point in travel photography. I don't want to carry a lot and be weighed down, so this is a perfect bag for that. Especially if you are tarveling with a group and hope to remain unobtrusive but still have what you need to get the shots you are after. If you are looking for a catch-all, this won't do it, but if you want to travel light and efficiently, this is perfect. The girth strap is comfortable and secure. The shoulder strap can be attached on either side, so the bag can hang on the opposing shoulder of my camera. it does have loops on the girth strap to attach other items like lens bags or, in my case, an image backup drive. Over all, a very well designed bag.

I was looking for a replacement for my discontinued Lowe Pro Off Road case which is both an "over the shoulder" and a good waist belt case which is relatively compact for its capacity. The Reporter is the closest case I could find. The main compartment is quite spacious, accommodating my Digital SLR (Canon 7D) and three lenses (Canon EF-S 10-17, EF 24-70 2.8 and EF 70-300 4-5.6) easily. I use the iPad compartment for storing filters, as the front pouch is not that large (although the lens hood for the 10-17 fits in it). I like the sling shoulder strap style for casual photography, and the waist belt for stability when I am climbing around outdoors. This case fits the bill, but the shoulder strap is a bit on the smooth side, so it doesn't grip as much as one would hope. I am experimenting with fixes for this. I would give this case 5 stars if the shoulder strap were grippier. I like the lighter color for outdoors so the bag doesn't act as a solar collector. Although I feel the size is relatively compact for its capacity, it would not fit into a casual photographers definition of "compact".
