Not the most comfortable pack
The Flipside is far superior to the Lowepro Slingshot series, Tamrac Velocity series, and lumbar packs like the Moutainsmith Photo Tour. The most significant difference is the level of support provided. Ergonomically, the Flipside maintains symmetry throughout your body. These sling bags, which are growing in popularity and receiving a huge advertising push, will hurt your body. Take the slingshot on a photo walk or a hike and your body will pay to the toll. Our bodies are meant to be symmetrical, and these bags are putting more emphasis on one side of your body over another. I do own over the shoulder bags by Timbuk2 and Overland Equipment, which is somewhat hypocritical, but the main difference is weight. The more weight in the pack like camera equipment, the more the probelm is magnified. In the case of lumbar packs, camera equipment adds to much weight to make the lumbar feel adequate in its support. What you need when it comes to hauling heavy camera equipment is a plain old backpack. Ergonomically correct, and made to be carried for miles and miles, the backpack is where it's at.
