The Velocity is a great line of bags with fast and convenient access to your camera gear still carries comfortably like a backpack during travel. The Tamrac Velocity Sling Pack easily accommodates your pro digital body with an eight-inch zoom lens attached.

The foam-padded dividers reinforced with rigid plastic for extra support are a smart touch, and the unit’s design allows for easy access to your gear. Simply swing the bag around to your front, and the aptly named Quick Flip Top allows you to grab your camera and take the shot. Tamrac’s Modular Accessory System also allows you to customize the bag to your liking.

This bag works perfectly for how I need it. When I travel I don't want to look like a tourist and this bag (I got the black version) can not only hold my camera stuff but also the essentials so I don't need to carry a purse.

If you have an SLR with lens and 1 or 2 extra lenses that you want to carry around this is a great bag. If you need to lug more than that you probably want the Velocity 8 or Velocity 9 verses the smaller Velocity 5, Velocity 6 or Velocity 7.

Tamrac Velocity Product Description

Though it doesn't look like a camera bag, this unique, ultra-functional pack carries like a backpack, but by swinging it around to the front provides quick access to most 35mm SLRs (up to 4 3/4" tall) with a 6" long zoom lens attached, additional lenses and a flash. The modern sling design comfortably distributes the weight of photo equipment, but the real advantage is that, unlike a traditional photo backpack, it need not be removed to quickly access photo equipment. The Speed Flap Top and Easy Squeeze quick-release buckles provide security and complete rain coverage to the foam-padded main compartment. Inside, adjustable, foam-padded dividers provide a custom fit for equipment. A Windowpane-Mesh pocket on top holds filters and accessories while the front of the pack has an outer mesh pocket inside to organize film and accessories. Carrying the sling is effortless with an adjustable, ergonomically designed, foam-padded strap that keeps the pack snug against the body.
