Billingham sling camera bag?

I searched but didn't find anything. Does Billingham make a camera sling bag? Is there another bag maker on the same quality as these guys?

Answer is No and No. Billingham makes some backpacks, not the most useful of their bags. I use a LowePro 300 sling, and I am very satisfied with it. For reference, I also have 4 Billingham bags, and the quality of the LowePro does not disappoint.

I have a Lowepro sling also, works fine. I have one of their smaller ones and hope to upgrade to larger one after the holidays. Does Think Tank make a good sling?

Closest you'll get to Billingham quality (IMHO) is Think Tank.

Lowepro use to be OK, but their quality has dropped over the years to being good but not great.

Yes think tank make a sling bag (I'm not a fan of sling bags personally, but whatever).

It's called the "Sling-o-matic"

After looking at that video... it's pretty tempting. Better than shoulder bag and you can get to your gear easier... :o

Depends on how it fits on my back. The Lowepro one I tried sucked so bad I took it back and got another bag.
