3L fits my a7riii + 2 lenses but not perfect
on December 26, 2021
Posted by: Ktroopa
Pros:
* Fits my a7rIII with a lens and I can pack an additional lens as well.
* Bag is very solid and not flimsy at all(this is actually a blessing and a curse)
* Built materials seem to be very good.

Cons:
* The stiffness of the bag makes it difficult to add more things in the bag. Yes I can buy a bigger bag but I like the size of this. Perhaps a 4L would have been better if they made one.
* Strap connector - I don't like their weird connector that they use to disconnect the strap. The metal clip they use is very thin and I don't see how it is much better than the traditional plastic connectors. It takes much longer to detatch.
* Extensions - The hooks on the extensions do not stay on unless you tie down an item. This could have been implemented better.
* Front pocket - It is very difficult to get things out of the front pocket because of the stiffness of the bag. Adding some sort of flex material for the front pocket would have been a better idea.

Overall, this bag would be perfect if it wasn't as stiff and if it was ever so slightly bigger. If I didn't get this as a gift I would have returned it ASAP.

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.

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.

10L sling is great!
on March 4, 2020
Posted by: Antonio
I love it, i use it as an everyday bag to the office. It fits my 13 inch dell latitude 7390 pretty well. (A little tight but it works) plus charger, phone charger, power bank, some lotions, pens and sunglasses plus a little more.
Im giving it 3 stars for durability and built quality. I love the design, i love the color and the strap mechanism.
Sadly there are a lot of threads pocking out, front bag isnt easy to access and the flex dividers dont seem like they will last.
In conclusion, i love it, wish it would sturdier and better constructed+ weatherproofing.

Poor product from disappointing company
on December 5, 2024
Posted by: Peter Dering
Even at a discount this is an awful product. It’s clunky and stiff, doesn’t allow for carrying of anything beyond a small notebook, and sits awkwardly because of how stiff the material is. A mediocre carry bag and a horrible camera bag. Just another disappointing product from an equally disappointing company.

Great feminine style bag!
on December 7, 2019
Posted by: Elroy
I really want to like this bag. The features are fantastic and it's an incredibly functional bag... but.. I wish they would of went with a longer body style than a taller design following on a actual sling bag side of things. It's more of a purse than anything. Looks great on my girlfriend, for now I will be sticking to my V1.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the largest size and it is still too small. I do like the bag in terms of design, but it is a very tight squeeze to get my equipment in. I have to fit it exactly or I can’t zip it, even the pocket in the front is hard to get items in and out of. I would really like this bag a lot if it was slightly bigger and roomier.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Everyday 6L Too small.
on June 15, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
I gave the bag four stars for its quality, styling and works with my PS slings. However, it is really too small. I got from one of PD's videos, or another 3rd party evaluation, that the 6L was fine carrying full frame body with a 70-200 lens attached. It does not. Not even close.(Nikon D810,Tamron 70-200. I will still use it to carry along lenses and misc that I might need on a shoot, but for protecting my main equipment, it just does not. I should look at the 10L but I need to find a vendor who sells them and see what it will hold.
