Perfect one-handed bag!
on December 30, 2021

As a new dad, I rarely have both hands free, so having a bag that is perfectly accessible with just one hand is fantastic! The 6L sling has just enough room for all of my EDC essentials and I never leave the house without it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than expected

I'd be hemming and hawing about getting a Peak Design bag, but finally went for it and haven't been disappointed. The bag is well made, durable, and makes it very easy to get my camera in and out. Love the stacking feature for lenses too.

I have the 3L which is ideal for 1 camera with a few accessories. Perfect for a day in the city.

Best Sling for Run & Gun Photography/Videography
on December 30, 2021

Aesthetically, this bag is very pleasing to the eye. I got the gray, and it looks great. The material on the outside appears to be somewhat water resistant, but it's a bit scratchy to the touch for my liking.
In terms of storage capacity, I got the largest 10L size, but was worried it might be too big. What I've found is that 10L is actually just right, if not too small for me at times. The main compartment allows me to store my camera body with a lens attached, and two other lenses. The dividers inside allow for creative ways to store lenses. I haven't experimented much with it, and divide the compartment into equal thirds. The biggest complaint I have with the bag is the front compartment. It is a little tight and difficult to access. I like to store filters in there, and I have had to make a conscious effort to retrieve them at times. The storage space of the front compartment doesn't seem to be as big of an issue because I've been able to even fit a smartphone gimbal in there. I just wish it was more effortless to access.
The claim that the sling makes accessing your camera and other items quick and easy is absolutely true. I'm usually one who dislikes changing lenses out in the field because with a traditional backpack, you have to find a bench to set your backpack on (unless you're okay with setting your pack on the ground), change out the lenses, and then put the pack back on. It gets tedious, and it resulted in many missed shots simply because I didn't want to change lenses. The Everyday Sling makes it such a breeze to swap out lenses. This has been a game changer for my photography.
One other thing I will mention is that it can be fatiguing to carry this bag all day, especially if you max out the capacity. The issue is that it puts all of the weight on one shoulder. I've been able to temporarily alleviate the problem by switching shoulders, but unfortunately the strap is designed to be on one side of your body. If you want ultimate comfort in switching shoulders, you would have to completely remove the strap and flip it around. My advice would be to get buff. Jokes aside, Peak Design has many other options for all-day carry options. This sling is perfect for outings that are around four hours max.
I've taken this bag out on several outings by myself, and with my family. Overall, it has performed very well each time. This is the most perfect sling I've ever used, especially for people who need quick access to their gear. It's great when you are with others who don't have the patience to wait for photos to happen.

Awesome bag for everyday

I bought the black 6L sling and it has been awesome. It quickly has become my everyday on the go camera bag. It fits my Sony a7iii, a table top tripod, an extra lens and the rest of my EDC. Great job as always PD.

Excellent with a few flaws

Bought this bag about a month ago (10L) and have used it almost every day. Love the bag but there are a few things I dislike.
Likes: Great organization capability. Holds quite a lot for my daily carry without being too bulky. Like the external connection straps and the comfort of the carry strap. The handle is comfortable and easy to hold/grab, plus doubles as a perfect strap to hold it in place on the collapsible handles of roller suitcases.
Dislikes: The quick-adjuster mechanism doesn't lock properly so the strap just gradually gets longer as you wear it. The laptop/tablet sleeve is tucked deep underneath the overhanging edge of the primary compartment (photo). The positioning this deep makes it quite annoying and difficult to take a laptop or tablet out of the sleeve when the main compartment is full because you need empty space to tip the laptop forward so you can pull it out, meaning I often have to empty some items out of the main compartment first (see second picture with water bottle in the way). I want to emphasize that my tablet and laptop are NOT too big for this bag. It is advertised as accommodating a 13 inch laptop and my laptop is only 12 inches and the tablet is smaller, so it is not a size issue.
Wishes: I wish the laptop/tablet sleeve was a separate zippered compartment on the backside of the bag. That would make this bag perfect, in my opinion.

Bought the 6L sling, and it was just what I needed, enough space to carry a MFT body and a couple of lenses. Great design, great materials. Very happy.

Just the right size.

I carry a Everyday Sling(6L) with a PENTAX KP + DA 18-135mm and GR-II. It's just the right size.
The strap that holds the tripod in place is surprisingly bulky, so I have trouble figuring out where to put it in the bag. It would be nice to have some kind of pocket to store the end of the shoulder strap.
