While in Belgium last weekend for a Sportscar race I saw another photographer who had a camera backpack which looked like it also doubled as a shoulder bag.

I've got a backpack (Lowepro Orion Trekker), but it's really annoying having to take it off to get anything out of it (especially when you've got two cameras on each shoulder as well), but it does make carrying stuff around a lot more easy.

The bag this guy had looked like it had to openings, you could get access to your stuff while it was on your shoulder, but if you're just carrying it around, you can use it as a backpack.

I was wondering if anyone knew which make/model it might be. It looked like a Lowepro to me, but I can't find anything like it on their site. It looked a bit like those slingshot things, but with three straps, two for the backpack bit and then the shoulder strap.

Any help would be appreciated! Cheers!
 
might be the lowepro slingshot?

I think it is the Fastpack range, looks identical to a backpack but slides round on the left shoulder to open sideways.
 
That does look similar actually, but the one the guy had was quite a lot bigger than the biggest fastpack, and definitely had a third strap. But that's a pretty cool bag!
 
i have the slingshot 200 AW, Not a bad one strapped shoulder bag. Has an extra strap which clips on to the main strap and goes under the right arm to stop the bag from slipping around
 
I have a Slingshot 300 AW and a Fastpack 350. The Fastpack 350 is slightly larger than the Slingshot 300 and can carry more gear. As well as having the second shoulder strap, the Fastpack also has the same waist strap as the Slingshot, but also a chest strap too.

Both ranges of bags allow you to swing them under your left arm for easy access without having to take the whole bag off.
