Overall I’m very happy. Good value for money and excellent customer service. I bought this for a recent trip to London and it worked exactly as hoped. I used it to carry a Canon 5Ds with a 40mm fitted, 2 polarizers, a 100mm, a 20mm and a Feisol tabletop tripod. It was a tight fit but the compact size made it totally workable for many hours of walking and on public transport. It also worked perfectly as a handbag for my wife on the long-haul flights when my camera equipment was in hand luggage. Quality of the product seems top notch. The only slight issue is that the locking of the shoulder strap could be improved, it tended to slip a bit. However this could also be user error.
I think the product is amazing! I loved it and as always, Peak Design products are top of the line. Just think about the bigger one if you have a big DSLR. I have the D850 with prime lenses and somehow it feels a little bit tight. Go for the bigger one if you have the same or similar gear, otherwise just nail this one.
While its amazingly built and the quality is superb as always. My only gripe is that I have a iPad that sits in the magic keyboard from Apple. It’s a real tight squeeze to get that into the slot at the back of the Sling. Essentially I have a 24-70 F2.8 Nikon lens and a D850 body, plus a couple of batteries and an iPad…just a little too tight and could have done with perhaps a cm more front to back along with a cm extra in height. THEN it would be the sling to end all slings!
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!

Most Useful One Body, One Lens Bag Out There

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 would recommend this to a friend!

Great bag

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

Changed my game

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.
