Product Description

The Velocity 8x Pro Sling Pack is slightly smaller than the Velocity 9x, but still accommodates a pro digital or film SLR with a grip (such as Canon's EOS 1D series or Nikon's D2 series) and an 8" zoom lens attached. Inside the main compartment, the camera with lens attached is suspended on two vertical, foam-padded dividers that are internally reinforced with rigid plastic. The Velocity 8x can be carried comfortably like a backpack, but when swung around to the front, the secure zippered Quick Flip Top opens away from the body for fast and convenient access to camera gear. A well-padded sling strap comfortably distributes the weight, but need not be removed to quickly access photo equipment. A Tuck-A-Way waist belt allows the Velocity 8x to be used comfortably during vigorous activities such as hiking or biking. The front pocket has organizer pockets inside to keep a mobile phone, PDA or photo accessories within easy reach. It also features Tamrac's US-patented Memory & Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up. A pocket inside the lid stores filters and lens caps.

Customer Reviews

Not as Roomy as I Thought
I thought the 9x would be too large for my needs (Canon 40D body, 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM, 17-55 f/2.8 USM, and Kenko 1.4x teleconverter) so I went with the 8x. Everything fits, but I have to do to much rearranging depending on the lens that is mounted to the body. As a sling, the strap cuts into my shoulder -it's much more comfortable as a shoulder bag. I wish it had some outside pockets.

Great bag for the professional
The Tamrac 5768 Velocity 8X Pro is a durable, roomy bag for carrying a zoom lens and your other gear. Its uniqueness is its ability to be moved from back to front quickly. My husband is a wildlife photographer and he finds the Velocity 8x the perfect size to transport lenses on the trail and still not be burdened by bulk. Worth noting: if other items are not carried, the bag will accommodate a digital camera fitted with a 300mm lens.

nice travel bag
Although this bag is little tight, it's extremely well designed for the weight it'll carry and also had a waist belt hidden away until you need it. Has room for dslr and 18-200 lens, flash, cables and a separate access panel in lid for filters and in front for cards, batteries,and some smaller accessories, etc. My new favorite bag as I'm trying to travel more compactly. You do need to loosen it to sling it, but it has a well designed buckle to do this.
