Lowepro Orion Belt Pack Soft Case 

DESCRIPTION

It's got looks, talent and a "Let's go for it!" attitude. The new Orion has a streamlined shape, improved waist harness and lots more storage. BatWingâ„¢ compression straps and a new removable shoulder strap give extra stability when the going gets rough.

Strength:

Gear easily accessible with the reverse open lid and relatively shallow depth. I had originally intended to use it as a waistpack but have ended up using it mostly as a shoulder bag (after attaching a stronger shoulder strap). Good size as a pillow.

Weakness:

The shoulder strap that comes with the 2000 model is puny. Can bounce a bit on your waist (even with a larger shoulder strap) if you carry heavy equipment. I have found it to be not very comfortable for hikes over 3 hours duration. The rings that the straps clip to are puny on the 2000 model. Not suitable for long lenses (15cm length max).

A great little waistpack that can carry a small (3-4) assortment of short lenses, flash + one 35mm body. The webbing in front of the bag is handy for lens caps + there''s a little front pocket for pens, brushes, tape etc. On the inside of the lid is a compartment for putting in relatively flat items, but it can take a bit of rummaging to find things placed there.

Model Reviewed: Orion Belt Pack

Strength:

This bag is very easy to carry, especially when doing active things, like biking, climbing, etc. It holds my fairly large 35mm camera (with external batt pack), 2 lenses, and a flash and keeps everything handy.

It is also built to withstand just about everything and last forever.

Weakness:

None I can think of.

For a small bag, buy this bag.
