It’s a really solid piece of kit. Build quality is excellent: it looks sporty, feels well-designed, has a stiff/structured back panel, and overall it seems durable, well-stitched, and made to last. Despite the compact size, it fits a lot. It easily fits my Leica D-Lux 8 and a DJI Osmo Nano, plus filters, a small memo notebook, and still leaves room for a few extra small items. It’s not bulky, but the internal space is impressive for a pouch this size. I can also drop it into my work briefcase without it taking over the whole bag. It would be extremely useful if the back pocket could securely hold a phone, similar to the Outdoor Sling with the magnetic closure. That would make quick access even better. Overall, good quality and very practical.
I use this small bag for trip. Good to keep wallet, phone, glasses, use as like waist bag but most waist bag is too big and bulky. I use small carabiner to attach to bag and put my pants belt loop. It’s easy enough to take on / off but probably there is better idea.
The Field Pouch V2 is the perfect travel companion or EDC essential that everyone need to have. It can hold you travel documents, cellphone, printed airline tickets and keys. Or pair it the one of the amazing camera straps and you have yourself a perfect travel EDC pouch! The build quality is second to none, It will last you a lifetime.
Regarding the issue of the lid not sealing properly, I believe it is a design flaw in version 2. Its straps are attached to both ends of the bag, whereas version 1 has them on the back, with the two ends relatively close together. The design of version 2 causes the top lid to be pulled outward on both sides, a problem that version 1 does not have. Therefore, after getting version 2, I still followed the previous method by punching holes in the back and attaching two pieces cut from an old waist belt. This allows PD's camera strap to pass through the holes and connect to the waist belt pieces. It might sound a bit complicated—I will upload a photo later.
PS: I updated DIY. In fact, it is easier to follow the PD design and directly pass through a belt. In addition, I compared it and found that V2 is still a little larger than V1.
I bought this item 3 years ago. I use it for my Fujifilm X100VI. It is a great Pouch. I use it a lot! There is only 1 thing that does not work well: the leash is attached to the pouch with two clips. When you clip the included shoulder strap to the pouch it will easy loose the connection because the 2 clips are to wide. You have to control the connection every time you use the pouch. I have replaced the shoulder strap for an older camera strap. I think it's a shame that it works like this, because I much more liked the included shoulder strap. I hope the new pouches will have a better construction.
Bought this to carry a fixed lens camera. Was slightly smaller than I expected but still works. Wish the sewn in elastic pockets had a few pass throughs for larger skinnier items. I do not have any issue with the strap as others have called out. It is small enough to fit in my backpack and function as a camera case.
