Thanks: Gave 7, Got 59 | A few good offers, Tripod, Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW and a filler!
Hi,
I have posted this in the bargains section as well but figure not as many will see it over there.
So I was after a tripod anyway, a fairly decent one without spending too much....and I needed a bigger bag that could fit more than one lens in.
I came across the following: Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW for £29.99
Make sure you use promo code "LOWEPRO15" Half Price VELBON CX-640 Tripod inc FREE Case for £19.99
Now this came to £49.98, but if you spend £50.00 its Free PNP with the "FPANDP" promo code
So I added a nice little filler, another offer LENSPEN Mini Pro II LCD Lenspen Half price at £3.99
Total for the lot is £53.97....the cheapest for the bag I can see is £45.
Hope this helps some people, of course you can get one of them offers and pick up in store if you don't want to spend £50 for free PNP or spend £7.99 on PNP which is still decent for the bag alone.
Plus theres plenty more you can spend your money on.
Granty

Cheers for this, I ordered the bag from there on Saturday, but forgot about the free P&P code.
I will give them a quick call to see if I can cancel the first order and do this instead.

Thanks for the link, my local LCE quoted me £84 for this bag today, you saved me a packet.
Hope its not going to be overkill for my little Panasonic G1 and twin lens kit though.

Ah dammit, I did order sunday night.....but technically they havent posted yet so I should receive it at a lower VAT rate.
Either way Im not too fussed.

I ordered the bag on its own and changed the postage option to recorded mail which was about £4. It does say small, light items so i'll see what happens. Kept adding a flash and taking it out again.......must resist.
I'm so tight |

Mine turned up today and is going strait back, its far bigger then the quoted 30cm on Jacobs website and TBH my Panasonic G1 is lost inside it, the search continues.

Would you not be best off trying the 100 model rather than the 200?
