It really makes changing lenses a lot easier for me. David, it does work quite well. It really makes changing lenses a lot easier for me.

I'm considering the 400 AW, but I'm wondering if the swing-round feature actually works well. It seems you use it that way, which is reassuring. I was kind of worried it only worked in Lowepro's video because it was empty ... :) Thanks for the write-up!

I wanted 2 straps for better support on distance/long days and I just liked the more open design and accessibility. The slingshot doesn't look to provide much of a platform, which was a main concern when above water. Also, I needed a bit more room. A 300 model of slingshot may be comparable to the Flipside 300 but ultimately, I need a 400 or larger. Hey Robert, I was aware of them.

They swing around higher up on the body and might be easier to keep out of the water. If you did consider the slingshots but found the flipside preferable I would be interested to hear your sense of the pros and cons of each. Thanks, Robert Hi Paul,

And that is fairly quick access to your gear by swinging the bag to your front. All in all a very well thought design. Material used are decent (not at the same quality as the more expensive bags) but overall seems like a good value for the money. I think it is as good as you can get for the type of shooting you do in the water. Regards Nikos Hi Paul,
