Pros:	Small. comfortable, well designed, easy access to gear
Cons:	no tripod attachment

I first saw the Turnstyle series in a camera store, and my kids got me the Turnstyle 10 for Fathers day. I wanted a bag to use on hikes where I could take just a few lenses, have them handy, but keep them out of the way. I have a larger sling bag but it is really too big and bulky when you are climbing or squeezing through brush. The same with using lens cases hanging on the belt, they can get in the way in rough terrain. A backpack is inconvenient since you have to take it off for access, and a messenger or should bag just swings around and gets in the way. With the Turnstyle 10 I can carry my K-50 with a Sigma 17-50 attached, and 2 or 3 other small lenses. So now I can go on a hike without a lot of things dangling or protruding on the sides. I really like the bag so much I also bought the smaller one (Turnstyle 5) for my Sony mirrorless kit, nice for street shooting. I could configure it with the K-50 and small primes also. There is also a pouch on the front for batteries etc. And just as the main compartment when you swing it around it opens at the top so nothing could fall out, when looking a sling bags it's surprising that many have extra compartments that don't open in the same direction. These bags also have a tablet compartment that I don't use. You would have to get the larger of the three sizes to fit a normal ipad. If I had a wish it would be that they had a way to attache a tripod, but then that may defeat the smallness and simplicity of the bag too.
Below is the Turnstyle 10 with K-50 with a Sigma macro 50 mounted, Sigma 17-50 on the left, F 35-70 on the right, with the HD DA 15 or F 50 wrapped below the 35-70,
