Think Tank Photo introduces the Sling-O-Matic, the photo industry’s first sling camera bag that can be easily switched back and forth to either shoulder. The Sling-O-Matic’s adjustable, fully padded shoulder strap “automatically” slides along a set of rails to change which shoulder the bag can be worn on. This is the innovative solution to the problem inherent with other sling bags: only being designed to wear the sling bag over the same shoulder. With one smooth motion, the Sling-O-Matic can be quickly switched to the opposite shoulder without losing the characteristics that have made sling bags popular among photographers. The Sling-O-Matic series offers three unique bags to choose from, depending on the set of photo gear a photographer needs to carry.

Features:
1 The photo industry's first sling bag that can be easily switched back and forth to either shoulder.  Sling-O-Matic's adjustable, fully padded shoulder strap "automatically" slides along a set of rails to change which shoulder the bag can be worn on.  With one smooth motion, the Sling-O-Matic can be quickly switched to the opposite shoulder without losing the characteristics that have made sling bags popular among photographers.
2 Gear access always stays on top, when the Sling-O-Matic is in front, no matter which shoulder the bag is carried over.  Part of the challenge of creating a "reversible" sling bag is to make sure that the access door to the photo equipment faces up when the bag swings forward.  No complex reconfiguration of the Sling-O-Matic is required.  Simply flip the bag over, open it up and start taking great photos!
3 Fits a regular size DSLR with up to a 70-20 f2.8 attached and the lens hood in shooting position!
4 Discreetly stylized to avoid obviously appearing like a camera bag.  Going incognito is important when carrying expensive photo equipment.  Like other Think Tank bags, the Sling-O-Matic is all black on the outside so it won't attract too much attention when the equipment is stowed away.
6 Up to a medium sized tripod can be carried on one side using the included tripod straps.  Each Sling-O-Matic includes two fully adjustable straps that attach to small, but secure, fabric loops on either side of the long pocket.  Depending on the size of the tripod legs, one or two of the legs can be inserted into the long pocket for additional stability. 
7 Some small tripods can simply be carried in the long pocket, without using the tripod straps.
5 Long side pocket for carrying a large water bottle or other bulky accessories.
8 Large handles on three sides help to swing the bag around or just carry it in hand.
9 Wide zippered pockets on front, back, and side for carrying a newspaper, airline boarding passes, or other items.
10 Business card pocket on the top for carrying a short stack of business cards.
11 Attach the included "chest strap" for additional stability while walking around.
12 The adjustable side of the chest strap can be used as a waist strap, if preferred.
13 A small pocket on the bottom of the Sling-O-Matic is available for storing any of the removable straps.
14 A selection of padded dividers are included to partition the Sling-O-Matic's interior for different types of gear.
15 A seam-sealed rain cover is included for protecting the Sling-O-Matic and its contents from heavy rain, dust or snow.

I bought this bag for a trip to Europe. For me, small is everything, always has been, but I cannot afford to leave needed gear behind. The Sling-O-Matic 10 fit the bill for me, I am impressed! Here is what I got into and onto the bag. Business Cards. My Canon Xsi with 50mm 1.2 and hood, Canon 24-105 zoom with hood, Canon 70-300 zoom, Sigma 12-24EX, Canon430EX II flash, Sanyo Xacti video camera, 2 lens converters, 3 battery chargers w/extra batteries and the various small accessories that I carry. Then I strapped my Monfroto carbon fiber tripod in its bag to the side of the side of the Sling-O-Matic. All of this weights in at a mere 19lbs, is a joy to carry and will fit nicely into the overhead on my flight. And I still have room for a couple of magazines or newspaper. Nice job on this bag!

The biggest small shoulder bag I have, its swallowed a Canon 550D with battery pack all attached to a Sigma 150-500mm. Well made, quality bag
