I have used this for a year and it is good. I had the 10L sling and it fit most essentials in it. I could fit a 11" surface go in it so I could carry it in for class too. I like the adjustable strip so I can switch to run and gun mode very quickly.
But non retangular size mean also you can't fit a lot when you really have to. If this bag has some kind of flexible feature to expand could be really good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everyday Sling V2 6L with Capture

I bought the Sling because I found a backpack too heavy for my back (I have back issues). The Sling was great choice and I added a Capture to carry my camera on the outside. This gives me plenty of room for lenses and accessories. Such a quality product at a very reasonable price.

Everyday use (a camera cannot be stored)

Since it became smaller than a previous model, a camera cannot be stored. I will purchase 6L.

Perfect one-handed bag!

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'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.
