Spider Holster Black Widow "Spider Holster exceeds expectations" 5 Out Of 5 Stars

Pros: Compact,Durable,Lightweight,Easy to Use

Best Uses :Travel

Describe Yourself: Photo Enthusiast

Was this a gift?: No

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments:I just returned from a trip to Africa where there was much walking and hiking. The Black Widow Spider Holster made taking my camera along a breeze. Always easily accessible while not having to mess with a neck strap. The others with me were wishing that they had one. The only draw back about using it was that the camera needed to be removed whenever I sat down. Not a problem though. I highly recommend this product. In fact, I will be ordering some extra pins for my other cameras soon.

Service: The product was shipped as stated and arrived quickly and undamaged.

Comments: I had an old vinyl case that this replaces. It's lightweight, can go over shoulder or around waist, carries extra gear like memory cards, straps, manuals, etc. It has an enclosed raincoat for bad weather. The top zipper provides easy access to camera and other items. Overall, a well designed and practical case!

Service: Sell N Send was the perfect online vendor. They communicated well and shipped the order quickly. Packaging was appropriate for the item ordered, as it arrived in perfect condition.

Lowepro Fastpack 100 Backpack " Perfect bag for what I needed! " 5 Out Of 5 Stars

Pros: Comfortable,Easily Accessible Equipment,Lightweight,"Extra storage space"

Best Uses : Transporting Gear,Hiking

Describe Yourself: Photo Enthusiast

Was this a gift?: No

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments: This bag is just what I needed. I shoot with a Canon Rebel T3i, and never carry more than 2 lenses- one attached to the camera (a 17-50 2.8), and an extra (Sigma 30 1.4). They fit perfectly in the padded section. I love that there is plenty of extra storage space for things such as food, water bottle, extra batteries, etc. I plan on using this bag for hiking, biking, and travel, so I love that it is lightweight and comfortable on my shoulders, and doesn't look bulky on my smaller frame. (I'm 5'2", 110lbs, and I was worried that a larger bag would look funny and be too heavy for me if I filled it up.) If you typically carry lots of equipment, this bag would be too small for you. However, if you're a casual shooter in active environments, this should be perfect!

Comments: I took this on a Utah slot canyon trip. It was awesome. Its strong enough to handle my full weight (270 lbs) when leaping from rock to rock or steadying me when leaning over a crevasse. It took a beating from the sandstone, but worked great. My only complaint is it didn't compact enough. When I needed to put it in my daypack because of the narrow slots, it was a little bulky. But being able to use the tripod to take pics of our entire group was perfect.

Lowepro Compurover AW " Carries it all " 5 Out Of 5 Stars

Pros: Good Protection,Comfortable Strap,"Highly adjustable"

Describe Yourself: Semi-pro Photographer

Was this a gift?: No

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments: The task at hand was to carry a DSLR, a selection of lenses, and a tripod. The situation is that these needed to be portable while riding a motorcycle. The solution was the Lowepro Compurover AW. It carries my Canon 7D; 70-200 telephoto, 17-50 telephoto and 12-24 wide-angle zoom; full size tripod and various other bits with ease. Padded and easily accessible compartments make it simple to get to my gear. Widely adjustable straps fit my 6'1" frame, even over riding gear, and keep the load close to my body for safety when riding. Some might consider the size a con, and it *is* a big bag. But, that's the price for carrying a lot of cargo, and it's no problem for me.

Lowepro Toploader Zoom 55 AW

Pros: Easily Accessible Equipment,Comfortable,Roomy,Strong Construction

Best Uses: Transporting Gear,Protecting Gear,Storing Gear

Describe Yourself: Photo Enthusiast

Was this a gift?: No

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments: I bought this case to go with a Lowepro Lens Case 3 to store and carry my Canon T3i with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens and a 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens. I wanted to be able to carry my camera with either lens attached. I had a Lowepro Toploader 50 AW which fit with the shorter lens but not the telephoto. This case setup works perfectly and the camera is well protected with all of the accessories that I normally carry (flash, extra memory, remote shutter release) I would definitely recommend this case for a setup with a long lens. The 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens fits just right on the T3i in this case.
