The 1-hand/1-second concept
When you use a CAMSLINGER Outdoor you can access your camera super quick. Just move your hand intuitively to the bag at your hip, open it, grab the cam and take your picture - all with one hand and within a second. This 1-hand/1-second concept makes the CAMSLINGER the fastest camera bag in the world!

Do you use a sling strap?
Many photographers use a sling strap. You too? Are you amazed by the speed of the one-handed access to your camera? But on the other side you would wish to have your gear safe against rain and bumps when not in use?

The super comfy way of carrying your Camera
A CAMSLINGER Outdoor is super comfy to wear even the whole day long. When used at the hip, your back is free of any weight! When used as a sling bag over your shoulder, you still have all the features like the quick, one-handed access.

The CAMSLINGER has a fixed belt and is free movable around your hip.

The carrying position of the CAMSLINGER Outdoor is low on the thigh. Hence it is super intuitively accessible. The construction works like a hinge and so the weight of your gear is super comfy on your thigh and not on your waist.

Safety against dropping – the FINGERSTRAP
To have your camera safe against accidential dropping and at the same time ready without delay (as you would have a delay when attaching a strap around your neck or wrist) we developped the FINGERSTRAP. It comes free with every CAMSLINGER Outdoor and is easily attachable without any loss of time.

The CAMSLINGER Outdoor S. Wiesner Edition
Stephan Wiesner is a photographer, author, vlogger and climber based in Bern/Switzerland. He supported us profoundly in the development of the CAMSLINGER Outdoor and is a long time user of COSYSPEED products.
The CAMSLINGER Outdoor S. Wiesner Edition is available only in this crowd-funding campaign and so is a limited edition. It has a small stitching of the signature of Stephan on the front. The S. Wiesner Edition is 20 $US more expensive. The extra 20 $US will flow into a project of our German partner organisation Burundikids e.V.. Burundikids is a NGO that helps refugees and street kids in Burundi/Africa.
The particular project you'll support when backing for the S. Wiesner Edition is the Mother-Child-House in the capital Bujumbura. Young homeless mothers and their babys/kids can get a place to sleep, food, health care and education in the Centre Nyubahiriza. Stephan relinquishes on any profits out of this project in favour to support Burundikids.

Lots of space for accessories
The CAMSLINGER Outdoor offers lots of space for accessories like spare batteries, SD-cards etc. Six compartment dividers let you customize the inside to your needs.

It also offers an included raincover, which is stored in the bottom of the bag.

The included thigh band can be used to fix the CAMSLINGER Outdoor on your thigh, which might be usefull when you are horse riding for example. The CAMSLINGER Outdoor has two loops on the bottom, which can be used for this, and two on the top, which can be used to fix the CAMSLINGER at your backpack for example.

Together with German fastener specialist Fidlock, we developed a smart new closure. It works with magnets and is super quick and easy to open. When closed it is locked safely in its place.

BELTEXTENSION 40
As an accessory to extend the belt of the CAMSLINGER Outdoor, the BELTEXTENSION 40 will be available as a perk. The BELTEXTENSION 40 will extend to 165 cm/65" simply by clicking on the belt.

Schedule

November 2016 production ready of the prototypes

Risks and Challanges
The CAMSLINGER Outdoor is an already ready-to-production product and will be manufactured as soon as the campaign is successfully completed. The production-ready-prototypes are already tested by Stephan Wiesner and other photographers and do work without any problem. As COSYSPEED has already several products in production, and we already funded a campaign on Indiegogo. we can access an already well working chain of high quality manufacturing, shipment and distribution.
Our manufacturer (certified by Bureau Veritas) is located in the Chinese Shenzen area and run by a German manufacturing company. It is guaranteed that quality is on a very high standard and that all workers are working under very good and proven conditions.
With a successful Indiegogo campaign in the back there are in our opinion no real risks. Only serious circumstances are a risk, such as natural desasters or a deep economic crisis.
The main challenge is to make this campaign a success. And with your help and recommandations it is realistic that we can master this amazing project :-)
Team & Thanks :-)
