Great sized bag with a couple of minor niggles!

I wanted a discreet bag to carry two cameras and a couple of lenses. The size is perfect, it houses a Q3 (inc grip), XT5 (inc grip), XF14, XF50, some filters and spare batteries. Quality is good, although there's no rain cover and the dividers aren't great, they're too stiff, not the right shape and snag the camera. Fortunately, I had a left over (more traditional) divider that worked better. Price was good and delivery timely.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good but not great

Nice quality and sturdy. However 6l is quite small internally as case material is quite rigid. Also front pocket is really slim and tight and I can't even get a big phone on it easily. Would have been good to have a back zip pocket for passport etc. Like that I can adjust the strap at both ends - although would have liked a bit more strap as I'm quite tall. Sling makers seem to expect you to wear them on your back most of the time - but when I'm hiking I have a backpack and want a slip on my hip at the front for fast camera access. Needs a V3.

Perfect every day carry.

I've been using my Everyday Sling 6L for around 3 months now and it really is a great bit of kit. It fits my Sony A7iii and 24-105mm F4G which isn't the smallest combination with ease (although I do have to reverse the lens hood) and I still have room for various accessories such as spared batteries, a lens pen, rocket blower, polarising filter, battery charger, PD Leash and PD Cuff as well as a notebook tucked away in the tablet compartment in the back of the main zipped compartment.
I love the multi-function strap and the fact it can be worn on either shoulder, cross-body front/rear ans as a waist pack. A couple of points here: When tucking the padded strap into the recess in the back of the bag to use in waist mode, undo the main zip. It makes it much easier to get the strap in. Also, the waist pack loop is quite stiff when the bag is new, but it will soften up with use and it does get easier to use over time.
I've used mine for day walks and also a couple of short haul flights and a European trips and I've had no problems getting it to fit under my seat or in the overhead locker on the aircraft.

Quality sling but too bulky

I was so excited to receive this bag. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. While it looked very protective, very structured and premium overall, it's also very bulky for the internal size it offers. I sold it one month after I "tried" to use it because other than my mirrorless with two small lenses in total, I couldn't really fit much more than that. That would be ok if the sling was smaller, so I would carry it along with another waist bag or a backpack. But the 3L is already large enough and I already looked ridiculous carrying it around. Furthermore, the front pocket is a joke. It couldn't even hold my iPhone 13 mini, let alone bigger phones. It may work for other people, but didn't for me.

Ideal for my needs.

The 6L Everyday Sling seems perfect for my intended use. I have an upcoming trip scheduled for which I only want to carry one camera body and a couple of lenses, and of course a PD travel tripod. (Also of course, spare batteries and memory cards.). The bag seems very well made, and everything is easy to adjust. My one complaint is that it seems impossible to register the bag on the PD registration website. I can't find anything on the bag or the packaging that looks like the required 13-digit serial number, and the dropdown for the name of the product has a lot of items listed under "Everyday", but none of them are 6L, and none of them are the Midnight color. I really hope to never need to make a warranty claim, but it would be nice to be able to register the product anyway just in case.

Not as good as expected, and one fatal design flaw
on May 22, 2025
Posted by: MichaelH
I am quite disappointed with my Everyday Sling V2 10l (color: ash). I bought this bag as a result of glowing reviews on the web and my great experiences with the Slide strap, but I very quickly noticed that the bag is not as good as it could have been. Is is less useful and usable than my other sling-style photo bags and seems to be more designed for form than function, although I don't think it's truly successful with respect to form either.
Minor issues:
The material seems robust but its feel is way too rough. I don't think it is able to damage any clothes, as some other reviewers mentioned here, but for a premium product, the haptics are underwhelming. It's very stiff (without actually offering much protection) and plasticky, it's rough, it just doesn't feel right. It might be purely a matter of taste but I also don't like that the strap is obtrusively shimmery, as opposed to matte.

It might be purely a matter of taste but I also don't like that the strap is obtrusively shimmery, as opposed to matte.
Medium issues:
Due to the fairly rigid tortoise shell shape, there is less available space in practice than expected. When, e.g., divided into three parts using the FlexFold dividers, the outer sides of the main compartment are significantly less deep than the middle. This makes it hard to fit medium size lenses (oriented in depth direction) at the bottom of the outer sides.

This makes it hard to fit medium size lenses (oriented in depth direction) at the bottom of the outer sides.
The FlexFold dividers are quite rigid and not as protective as I would ideally like them to be. Simple padded dividers would have been much preferable here. No matter how I try to optimize storage for my gear, some space is always wasted and invariably stays empty.
The front pocket does not expand much and thus barely fits anything of substance. This is exacerbated when using FlexFold dividers in the main compartment that push against the front pocket. Similarly, when using the dividers, it is very cumbersome to pack or take out a tablet/laptop from the back pocket, as the dividers push against that as well and bend the overall shape of the pocket.
Major issue:
The bag has one fatal design flaw. I should NOT have to completely unthread and reinstall the strap just to change the side of carry! I want to carry the bag sling-style across my left shoulder when not shooting (as I am right handed), and quickly change it to my right shoulder after taking out the camera, as then, I will be using the camera cross-body on my left shoulder and want to balance out the weight. And I cannot, without taking, like, 5 minutes to completely change the strap alignment, which is an absolute no-go in the field.

There are very two obvious solutions to this, and I am surprised neither has been chosen: Either, offer two separate quick adjustment buckles, one on each side, instead of just one. Or, make the padded part of the shoulder strap movable/slidable itself, something that other manufacturers' bags provide in a perfect implementation. Or offer both!
I can't believe this hasn't been thought of, as I'm sure this is a very common use case when actually using the bag in the field. That I am effectively unable to quickly change carry sides of the bag disables the main use case for me.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sony a7iv perfect bag.

Perfect for Sony a7iv including 24-105, 70-200II (in soft case) and Sony 1.4 converter. Room for PD sling and Godox 350 Flash. One of the dividers comforts then70-200 in the vertical position, whilst the other lays horizontally as a shelf with the 1.4x the PD strap and the Godox underneath. Plenty of room too for 4 batteries and cloths etc. I tried the 6L and it would tightly acccomidate the camera and 2 lenses. However set up this way means the camera is so easy to lift out and drop back in with the lense cover in place.
I would recommend this to a friend!
