My everyday sling V1 5L broke down after a couple months of use. The lining where the zipper is supposed to be held eventually got torn. However, despite this, i was sent a V2 6L after a few email exchanges. It was so hassle free, so much so that I'm still giving them a 5 out of 5 rating. I've never dealt with aftersales this superb. I wish more companies treated their customers this way. This rating I'm giving is not just for the product (I LOVE IT!), but it is for the company as a whole - how they operate and their products and services. Also, I'm no longer stateside, and they sent the product directly to me in Asia.
To take photos I need to have the camera on me, easily accessed. This bag is so light and easy, having the clip on the outside is icing on the cake. Carrying a Canon M50 with 2 lenses.
The quality is excellent as usual. I managed to squeeze in Canon R5 (detached from lens, sitting in the middle), Sigma 35/f1.4 Art with with R adapter (from the left side), Sigma 85/f1.4 Art (from the right side) and Canon EX-RT600 flash (on top). This is basically what I was looking for, I just wish it was little bit more spacy. 10L is too big for my needs. R5 attached to RF24-70/f2.8 can't fit in vertically.
This was a game changer. The 10L size forced me to edit my stuff a bit more than i wanted but it is just a wonderful piece of equipment that allowed me to carry the necessities and walk/bike with quick and comfortable access to my gear. I carried andOlympus EMD Mark III with one lens plus two more, an extra layer and various accessories. Very comfortable. I arranged the velcro so that the two extra lenses were on the bottom and the camera on a shelf which left about 60% for other stuff. The geometry also allowed me to put a capture clip in just the right spot for rapid, easy use. The front pocket initially seemed too narrow to fill with stuff but I quickly adjusted to the ease of keeping thing stuff there and bulkier in the main bag. This was so wonderful that I actually didn't use my Peak Everyday backpack for most of the summer. Sometimes i wished it were 12 or 15L but that would defeat the purpose. I have a Peak backpack when I need more space.
I bought this to carry a mirrorless camera with one lens. Does the job very well. Just two issues. First, converting the strap into a waist belt isn’t easy and tucking the spare strap away is a nightmare. Second, the front pocket is a bit too tight so not really up to storing filters etc. Still a great buy though
As a caveat, I did notice the zipper issue with the addition of the capture to the bag, but it's not a huge deal if you move your zips to the top rather than the sides. I carry this bag with my travel tripod bag attached to the bottom and it is SO much easier than carrying even the best (Peak) backpack if you're working with a single setup. The only thing that's really missing is an easy place to store/access your phone. The front pocket is okay for that, but the hooded zip makes it hard to access. The 6L is the perfect size - not too big to sling or carry as a belt pack, but big enough for a camera, wallet, phone and some other things you need.
I just received this so I can't speak to the long-term quality of the product, but it seems really well designed and put together. The 3L bag fits my Canon R6 with RF 24-105 F4L lens attached along with the lens hood (fitted backwards) and a Peak Design Slide Lite strap. I was able to store an extra battery in the internal pocket and I would imagine there would maybe be space for a few more odds and ends (extra SD cards, a second spare battery?). I'll be using this as a "going around" bag when I just want to carry one body + one lens.
Great bag for everyday carry. Obviously there’s not enough room for all your gear, but if you have an idea what kinds of things you plan to photograph before you leave then it works great. It fits my Sony mirrorless, with anywhere from 2 to 4 lenses depending on which I want to take… plus filters, spare batteries, strap, etc. It’s a great bag for it’s size! And a great size to carry when you go out!
