Been using the 6L sling V2 and the 5L V1 and is definitely an upgrade. Can easily carry a Canon R6 with the 24-105L and a 35mm prime with no issues whatsoever. However, it will not fit the R6 body with a 70-200 and probably a 10L version will be more adequate.
The longer shape of the V2 is also more comfortable on your back (or front whichever way I use it).
I would suggest for a future version to keep the strap pad from the V1 (has a more premium feel and comfort) and have the tablet slot on the outside back rather than inside of the main pocket for ease of access when the sling is full.

Perfect everyday bag for cameras
on May 2, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
I have two cameras. Every time I go out, I carry a big camera bag, which is very inconvenient.So I bought this Sling Bag. It is light, small, easy to carry, and it can protect the camera well.Many of the details of this bag are designed to be very professional and practical for photographers.I have been using it for a while and feel very good. Next, I need to buy a Capture clip to cooperate with it, so that I can take photos more quickly and conveniently.I like the products of Peak Design very much. This is the first time to buy it. I believe it will continue in the future.

Great little bag for camera outings

The 6L easily carries my Canon R5 with my RF 24-70 2.iL lens attached, my 100-500L upright next to it, and my camera accessories. I use the capture clip to attach to the bag's strap and I am ready to go!

Is this a bag for ants?!

I bought the sling 6L after watching what seemed like hours of videos reviewing these bags in detail. The most in depth ones were from PD themselves, finished to the usual unbelievably high standard that made me feel like I'd just made friends with four people in an indie design class. Virtually every video I've seen shows the presenter pulling out countless cameras, lenses and accessories from these bags; like one of those clown cars in a cartoon.
So I thought things would be tight but ok. In practice I can only fit a Canon R6 and choice of any non-tele lens from my kit. I have to remove a divider entirely just to get use out of the bag. Carrying a camera in the middle with a lens either side is never going to happen. The fancy origami dividers? They are such a great idea, but they fold at about half the height of all of my lenses making their use very limited. I can get the 35mm RF under one and just squeeze a 14mm Samyang on top. That's pretty great, but squeezing things in like that means using the bag is a chore.
Likewise for all the pockets, they're great, but getting into them and keeping things in there is just...harder than I'd like.
The strap is also kind of thin, so if you do pack 2 lenses it's going to feel heavy.
I'll try the 10L, because PD know what they're doing and their stuff is so well made and highly finished. Unfortunately though I wish their reviews were a bit more transparent around what would and would not fit into this bag.
I really like this sling. I'm able to fit my camera with a larger lens along with a few accessories inside with no problem. The only thing I don't like is how tight the front pocket is - it doesn't have much give so it takes a little effort to slides items in and out. I've learned to use it for items needed less regularly like my epi-pen.
But overall is recommend this item to anyone looking for a great option to carry their basic camera gear or what your kids need for the park!
I just love it. Super comfortable, great internal organization, clever strip... As my daily bag I carry a MaxPedition pouch with my EDC tools, a bottle of water, a book, keys, wallet, hand sanitizer and sunglasses. But when needed, all goes out and it becomes a camera bag for city scapes. My Sony A7III and a couple lenses fit perfectly. It's exactly what I was looking for, and with the smarts and quality I expect from Peak Design.
I would recommend this to a friend!

i travel a lot. i ride motorcycles. i camp. i climb. i photograph constantly. i don't own a lot of things. between the tech pouch and the every day sling, i have everything i need and more. the sling not only works as an EDC, its perfect to tuck in my 65 litre pack and use as a storage cube on long hikes, ready to be whipped out at base camp and carried to the summit or on exploratory ventures. not only does this company make completely and awesomely functional gear, it's a pleasure to interact with. the gear is certainly useful and pragmatic, but it is also an absolute tactile joy. beautiful and sleek, the bags are everything you could dream up were you to dream up your perfect organizer or camera bag. do yourself a favor and buy some peak design gear.
The 3L Sling v2 was a part of the gift package to my wife for her everyday use. I was bouncing between 3L and 6L sling back and forth, but I am so glad I picked the 3L one. She loves it! Now carries it everyday to work, to walks with kids, to wherever she goes to. The 3L, even being the smallest of the slings, takes at lest 1 x 0.5L bottle, phone, little notebook, a wallet, earbuds, pens, and all of the rest of small items you might think of. The additional straps allow you to strap on your jacket, or umbrella, or even a tripod, if you into photography. You really can't go wrong with the 3L sling!
