MindShift Launches PhotoCross Slings

2017.06.30

MindShift Gear unveiled a new line up camera slings yesterday morning. The new PhotoCross series starts with 2 models each available in 2 colors. These Slings are unlike any other ones on the market and designed for both comfort and easy of gear access.

PhotoCross slings are designed for outdoor use with waterproof fabrics and protective seam-sealed rain covers for heavy downpours. Like traditional slings, they move from the back to the front of the photographer to provide quick access and get out of the way easily. These new offers from MindShift Gear go one step further by improving comfort while worn as backpack with a 3-point harness and retractable belt.

The PhotoCross comes in two sizes and colors, Orange Ember and Carbon Grey. The PhotoCross 10 fits an ungripped DSLR and one to two lenses, plus a 10" tablet, or a Mirrorless body and three to five lenses, plus a 10" tablet. The PhotoCross 13 fits an ungripped DSLR, two to four lenses, including a 70 200mm f/2.8, and some 13" laptops.
