Let's Talk Carry Cases!


Recommended Posts

Hello!

I am rather interested what carry cases people own. I was looking at one on the internet but am not sure if I like the one strap thing. I have decided I wouln't like a small "shoe box" type either.

I also am weary on security as all the bags seem to say easy access is a feature - surely a feature for a thief to? I'll only have two lenses really as I have seen you can get ones that carry tripods and everything!

What do you have?

I use a Lowepro Slingshot 100 AW for carrying my kit around normally. I like quick access to it all, and I don't carry that much.

When I travel, I pack the Slingshot in the case with clothes to bulk it out, and carry the camera + laptop + hand luggage in a Lowepro CompuDayPack. Both bags are great. I rarely carry my tripod or monopod, but when I do I just tend to carry it freehand.

I'd highly recommend the Slingshot. It gives you quick easy access to a SLR, and you can use it to lean on slightly when taking shots (leaving it around your front mid-section). I usually carry my Canon 400D & 70-300mm lens in the main compartment, and my pocket Point-&-Shoot camera in the front pouch, leaving room for sunglasses and other day stuff in the top pouch.

I'm guessing from the responses on here that Lowepro tend to be a very popular choice.

Update: Just re-read your post. That Slingshot case you're looking at is the same as what I've got. I'd HIGHLY recommend them. I was skeptical before purchasing one, but now I'd never go back. I know quite a few other guys who use them too.

Well, it arrived yesterday and I set it up today.

To be honest, I wish I had got the bigger version as it does look a bit small, but then as it just needs my camera, one lens and a couple of accessories, then it's alright :)

Definatly a good choice :)

Ohh did you get a Slingshot in the end? :D

How are you finding it (how you've had a day or so with it)?

    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
