Any affordable camera sling bag that doesn't use velcro, like Billingham?

I am using Bestek. Cheaper compared to billingham, the size was quite similar too to the bigger ones. The insert that they gave was thick and good.

Was actually looking at crumpler but I saw Bestek being recommended on a few sites so I gave it a shot.

Oo just browsed ebay..looks nice but only has 2 models which are too big for me..
Thanks for the recommendation
Anymore brand to recommend?

Crumpler maybe? More choices and smaller in size too.

If the bag comes with both fastener/buckler/whatnot and velcro, you can buy another velcro set and tape them over the bag velcro.

Have you seen the latest Peak Design bags?

Peak Design Kickstarter

Looks nice but I have bought think tank retrospective 7 d

There's always room for more than 1 bag
I have a lowepro flipside 300 and fastpack 100. Will be replacing the fastpack 100 with the PD Sing and I'm also looking at their 20L backpack lol.

lol... so true... i have like 9 bags... 5 for dslr setup, 4 for mirrorless setup...

poison! poison! good to know im not the only bag whore around.

Buy buy! Lol
I'm in for the Sling and most probably the 20L

That's overkill lol... How often do you use all those bags? Rotation basis?

Anyone using the Manfrotto Stile Unica V/VII? I'm considering this for my setup for travelling lol

depends, i wont call rotation, i would see in what situation i would carry which bag to suit the needs.

when i first buy my apsc camera, got free small china square bag, then i brought an ori bag with free extra battery (dunno lost them dy)

then i gotten myself a huge 4x3slot backpack(china brand, rm200 6 year ago) you know how at one time u go crazy with backpack (like lowepro and thinktank 6 years ago), usually i use this only when i wan transport whole set of equipment to far location like traveling.

somewhere here, i brought a 2nd hand suicide vest,.... loooks like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/signither/4505454322

then i have a lowepro Inverse 200 AW(highly recommended for crop user) used to use with my crop back 5 years ago, since i switch to FF, it cant fit in FF body or lens properly (u know ff lens are huge)
the lowepro inverse 100 AW serve me very long (3 years i think before i upgrade to ff), and buy ori, it really last! less backache with use waist as pressure point, went to taiwan flora 4 years back, from 8 am till 9pm night shooting flower non stop, no backache luckily.

then i brought a china khakis bag which can even fit in a 70200F2.8 easily and i used it for my travel in japan (yea brought my 70200 along, but hardly use it, regret carry a weight with me) a very nice bag, but i just dislike pressure point on shoulder, gave shoulderache and backache after a period of carrying.

and during buying my FF they gave me a backpack(mid size) gift, which i hardly use, not my style of bag)...

*edit: then i brought a fullset of lowepro S&F(harness system) which hit me over rm2.5k.... but no regret, for some of my job it helps a lot then conventional backpacks...

then my ff broke down recently... and decided to join the mirrorless legion. but most my mirrorless bags are DIY bags, taken padding from my collection of bags and DIY into modern looking bags that dont catch attention... also i start riding nakedbikes so i need a nicely attached waist and sling bag for my camera.
so currenly has choice of 2 DIY waistbag and one DIY sling bag for my mirrorless and a freegift bag when i brought the mirrorless

oh did i mention i have over 5 flashes? and have a small special padded bag to fit in 3 flash fit and nicely for transportation? and lightstand and backdrop stand bags for traveling (when i run workshop years ago, flying around sarawak)...
