The black ACPRO1700 Digital SLR Swing Pack from Ape Case is a combination shoulder and sling-style bag that gives you extremely rapid access to your gear. The bag will hold your DSLR and up to four lenses plus a flash and numerous accessories like memory cards, cables, batteries and adapters. However, the best part of the bag is that you can access your gear from the top, side or back without having to remove the pack from your body. As a shoulder bag, it's quite comfortable with its fully adjustable harness system. However, it can quickly turn into a shooting bag providing rapid access to your gear using a zippered pocket with long pull tabs - excellent when you're wearing gloves.
The bag is made from a durable water-resistant nylon exterior and complimented by an interior made with bright, Hi Vis yellow adjustable dividers that are not only easy to configure but that make locating your gear easy when the light is low. Inside, there's a mesh stash pocket for filters, batteries and other small stuff. Outside, there are dual zippered pockets for additional gear like a flash, instruction manual or pair of gloves.
The bag is carried by its adjustable harness system that is supported by strong plastic snap couplers. The harness allows it to rest comfortably on either your shoulder or back. There's even an additional top grab handle for retrieving the bag from your car or off a closet shelf.
For even more protection, the bag comes with a tuck-away rain cover that, when deployed, covers the entire bag including your tripod that is carried in its own side mounted caddy. The feet rest in a neat pull out pocket while the legs are secured by an adjustable snap coupled tab.
And, if you don't want to carry lots of gear, you can use the ACPRO1700 Digital SLR Swing Pack as a long lens bag - a real money-saver. All in all, this pack offers many features that make it appealing to someone who wants a flexible, easy-to-use pack at a reasonable-price. It's backed by Ape's lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects.

This really is a great bag!! Well built and just enough room for my canon 7d with 18x135mm and the 70x300mm. Both will fit with the camera from the slide sling position from the top. Great for easy access when biking or hiking! It holds my filter case,camera,18x135mm,70x300mm, cables,extra battery,extra flash cards and towel. Just about all you need and comfortable!

I love this bag. I put my Canon T2i + 28mm-70mn lens + fixed lens + my Zoom audio recorder. They all fit snugly in the bag. The bag is really confortable and compact and you don't really fit the weight of the equipment on your shoulder. Although the bag offers several smaller zippers to get to the innards of the gag, I really use the main one.

I needed a little bigger bag as my gear collection was growing and I decided on this guy. It was absolutely perfect. I was able to customize the padding to it fit everything perfect. I love all the different access points, the "tripod jockey" is great compared to some other bags i have owned and the built in rain cover is just the icing on the cake. Worth every penny.

My husband uses it for the Canon EOS Rebel t3 camera and the accessories. It also has enough space for the camcorder we have as well. I really enjoyed it too. No bad things to mention.
