Can I sling it atop one shoulder? Sometimes I carry a backpack as well as my camera. I cannot carry both if it can be carried only as a backpack.

You could do that. I would use the waist strap with a single shoulder strap help keep it on your shoulder. Without the waist strap it probably won't stay on.

I had no problem 2 weeks ago carrying this on one shoulder like most teenagers do and also my camera on the other shoulder or my tripod which by the way I got from amazon as well its a beast of a tripod really good one for 60.00

Hi Rob, yes, you can attach a small tripod using the side strap of the backpack. Thanks_Mitch

Well, you should be able to use one from any shoulder sling bag (like a gym bag or similar) I've found nearly any kind, if adjustable can be modified to fit on it.

I can put it over my shoulder but I don't think it was designed for that. It's a little tight bit doable. I carry it like that in and out of my office but probably wouldn't go any further than that.

Well there was a neck strap with mine. It could probably be used as a shoulder strap but it's a bit fine for a shoulder strap. TBH a shoulder strap on this camera might be a little overkill. It's a very light and small camera. I am not using the neck strap, and just use a wrist band just in case I loose grip of it.

I'm not a lefty but I don't see why it wouldn't work either way. It's a sling and attaches to the tripod socket so it doesn't matter what shoulder you sling it over.

Not inside of the bag. You might be able to hang out on the outside somehow, but I just sling my travel tripod over my other shoulder. (it's also 13 ", but has it's own bag with a carrying strap )

My straps broke after only a couple uses, so the idea to carry it like a backpack no longer applies for me. It is lightweight and opens flat when not in use, so I carry it by the arm rest . It would be awkward if I had to carry many things at once. I recall the breaking (backpack) straps being an issue for other reviewers before I purchased it too.

I'm sure you could if you're small enough. I am small enough to do so..not sure of how comfortable it would be. I have carried my camera bag cross body but not the camera by itself....just too cumbersome

Nothing, so long as your backpack has an adjustment buckle of some sort on the upper part of the shoulder strap. This is where the Strap Shot attaches and bears the weight of the camera. Go on their site and watch the video.

Hi Kerri, this is not what we ordered...we ordered:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003C6ELEU/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And this one we have has a strap you could sling over your shoulder and carry or carry like a lunch kit...but it is adorable! Sorry I couldn't help more....

It works like a standard backpack. You will need to remove it off of your shoulders to access anything. It is too cumbersome to use it like a sling and open it on the go.

No way to carry it over the shoulder.Handle are to small. Bag is very small so you shouldn't need to hold it over your shoulder.

I wondered the same but had no trouble getting used to one side. Incidentally I never access gear while still on my shoulder. Feels safer to simply swing off and lay on steady surface so nothing can fall. That method is certainly safer with a couple thousand in lens and camera even if you have to kneel to the ground. Invariably I find a higher surface anyway.

Frankly, carrying it over my shoulder was my ONLY option as the bag's wheels don't turn. They go straight and the bag tips over when you round a corner. My workaround was to wear it "crossbody" because, as the other owner mentioned, it's unstable if draped over a shoulder.

I no longer have the bag but I don't believe it would be comfortable as a shoulder carry. You could use one strap and carry it a a slinger type.

This bag really needs to be slung off of your shoulder or set down to get your gear out. Since the zipped part is in the far back, you'd have to be a contortionist to reach back there and accomplish anything. Fortunately, for me, the bag can stand upright (as long as your tripod's not strapped to it...), and you can yank out the camera with lens fairly quickly. Because of the amount of space in this bag, it's going to be heavy loaded down, and I'd consider it a travel bag, not a casual photog's daily.
