I got to work this bag out a little today at the dog park with my 2 dogs. I used the shoulder strap and rotated it from front to back so I took off the no-slip attachment on the shoulder strap. It worked fine. I was able to get into my vehicle with the bag buckled on, but decided to take it off so I didn't have to fish the seatbelt around to buckle it. It is very comfortable and smooth to rotate from front to back, as advertised.
I will say that this bag is heavier than you would think. Not uncomfortable at all, but it weighs a couple of pounds. This is due to the over-engineered construction and materials. With the strap on and your gear inside, it is not too heavy but has some real heft as yuou would expect for a DSLR with zoom, and a smallish camcorder.
As I said it is very well engineered - there is absolutely no skimping in materials or construction. There are an abundance of "secret" pockets for things like cards, caps, filters, remote shutter, and even the tethered waterproof cover.
It is very rugged - it feels very much like a back support harness that you would wear in a warehouse. THe belt is very wide so that it does not cut into your waist...also, the belt does not slip once you have adjusted it.
This is a pro waist bag - there are no compromises, and I am sure I could use it comfortably all day long if needed. There are times I would use a backpack (when I want more than just camera gear, i.e. laptop and books, etc.), and there are times when I would just hand carry my D90 with 18-200 VR lens. For several hours of dedicated photography/videography (which I do about once a month it seems), like at an event, a museum, or a botanical garden, this is the perfect fit.
