January 4, 2007 — Lowepro is adding a new model to its line of SlingShot AW sling camera bags. The new SlingShot 300 AW is designed to hold professional digital SLR camera bodies with an attached zoom lens, plus five to six additional lenses, flash units, memory cards and personal accessories. The Lowepro SlingShot 300 AW will be available in early 2007 with a suggested list price of $124.99.
Just like the SlingShot 100 AW and 200 AW camera bags, designed for sports photographers and photojournalists who need quick access to gear, the new 300 AW allows photographers to go from “carry mode” to “ready mode” in seconds. Without removing the bag, simply rotate or “sling” the bag toward the front of the body. The SlingShot 300 AW then provides complete access to cameras, lenses, memory cards and other accessories. With its larger size and capacity to handle more gear, the SlingShot 300 AW boasts a built-in waist belt designed to efficiently distribute the weight to reduce back strain. The 300 AW also features a quick pull handle to allow for easier rotation. Read the full article here
