Passport Sling™: The Camera Shoulder Bag Redefined

PMA 2010 Hot Picks Award

Passport Sling™: The Camera Shoulder Bag Redefined

Okay, this is an unexpected kind of camera bag, but we think you'll like its unique form and inventive functions. The Passport Sling gives you freedom for your every move, protection for your DSLR and lots of space for your personal items. Unzip the front to reveal an expansion compartment that adds about 30% more storage space—enough room to accommodate things like a light jacket, lunch, cool souvenir or farmers market find.

Wear the Passport Sling high or low on the body, depending on the activity. The shoulder strap includes a cam lock buckle that adjusts for an ideal fit. A fully padded camera box includes a built-in memory card pocket and may be removed allowing the bag to be collapsed and packed into a larger bag for travel. Also includes: detachable shoulder pad, interior and exterior pockets.

The Passport Sling is available in Black, Sky Blue and Mica. All colors may not be available in all countries. Check with your local distributor for availability.







Just unzip the front of the sling and get about 30% more space for your personal items. Bright lining lets you see your gear easily; interior pockets fit a cell phone, keys, cash, or other personal items.
The fully padded collapsible camera box includes a built-in memory card pocket. Remove the camera box and collapse the sling to fit inside a larger bag for travel.

A motorsports blogger takes our Passport Sling for a test run with winning results

"As a NASCAR blogger, it's really important for me to have everything I need right at my fingertips and have complete freedom of movement when I'm at the track. The Passport Sling does all of that for me.

NASCAR is an all-day outdoor sport, so you have to be ready for anything. From press conferences to pit road, I'm constantly on the move. You never know when an amazing photo or interview opportunity will present itself. During a race weekend, I always have my camera, notebook, pens, digital recorder and tons of personal stuff like my zip-up hoodie, wallet, keys, and bottled water on me at all times.

To me, the Passport Sling is like having a personal assistant strapped to my body; it's always there to hand me anything I need in less than a moment's notice. It's been wonderful to have a carrying solution that's comfortable, versatile and stylish."
