- stabilizer strap! give some love to the bike riders - plastic buckle for taking the sling on/off faster - the front pocket is very very tight, even for a phone - collapsible bottle holder similar to the new WANDRD roam!
I purchased 3 liter sling for a walk around street photography with one mirrorless body and 2 lenses. The bag is extremely comfortable and functional. Small complaint, The front pocket is too tight even for a cell phone making it virtually unusable.
The 6L bag is an ideal size for a camera body with 2 zoom lenses or 3-4 small prime lenses, and has room for an extra battery or two, a few SD cards, a filter or two, and even your phone or keys. It’s ideal when you don’t need anything but your camera on a quick walk, or if you want to have your camera with you throughout the day without committing to carrying a large backpack for all of your gear. It’s comfortable to carry with the adjustable strap, and the blue is a gorgeous color that doesn’t scream camera bag. A larger bag with more gear wouldn’t be comfortable for me to carry on one shoulder or cross body. This is the bag I’ve been searching for.
Love it. Fits easily in the suitcase, so on arrival, just swap from Messenger to Sling for a lighter carry around. Backpack remains de facto for gear intensive loads. And all of them in Ash
Purchased the 6 L sling which works great for a larger walk-around gear bag without being too big, bulky, or heavy. I use this mostly for traveling when I’m walking around a lot and most often carry my camera, GoPro, and wallets/snacks/accessories. With some effort I have been able to fit a dji mini 2 + controller, full-frame mirrorless camera, and GoPro with a mini tripod in this bag, which is super cool. Strap is comfortable and the storage is great. If I needed to carry any more stuff I would just bring a backpack, but I don’t usually like toting a backpack around the city all day. I’d consider the 3L sling if I had a smaller camera or planned to carry more minimally
I have used OG sling v1 for several years now and have decided to upgrade to the new sling design. I use these bags for every day commute in NYC. Great for Subway, a perfect lap bag with room in the 10L version for bringing a light lunch and coffee cup to work, maybe a book.
If I need to open the sling in public, it feels a little safer just by the nature of the strap design. Just swing it around, get what you need, and swing it back - everything is in control and I don't have to take the bag off my person at any time.
I like the zippers and the adjustments to how the bag opens. It feels like an improvement over the original sling, although it took some time to adjust to when swapping between old and new slings. On 10L, the interior pockets are not as big as original, but I find that it doesn't really bother me. Exterior pocket seems much bigger, I carry two cell phones and it does the job.
The interior laptop sleeve feels bigger as well, if not it is easier to access. The sleeve definitely opens wider in the new sling, I assume because of improvements to the construction. Overall I'm glad I bought the new sling, it is the perfect everyday bag for me.
