Great, but wish it had a spot for the Capture Clip

So far, this has been a fantastic bag for anytime I'm heading somewhere that isn't work. It has ample space for anything you'd need for a hike or long bike ride, or just to head across town for the day.
The only downside I've found—and I kind of expected this to NOT be the case because it's a Peak Design product—is that unlike other Peak Design products, there isn't a great spot for the Capture Clip. At the end of the day, it's not terrible to use a Pro Pad on the bag strap, but I would've loved a dedicated slot (or two) like you get on many of their other bags.
The 7L is a versatile sling that I use as a hip bag. Unlike my PD 6L sling, this is functional as a hip bag that can squeeze small, such as in a museum, or large, to stuff a light coat plus assorted gear. As a camera-centric bag, my PD 6L sling is better because it is structured to fit and hold my mirrorless plus 2 lenses. I can get only my Z5 and 24-200 in this 7L bag, with or without the XS camera cube. This 7L, however, is ideal for travel because it collapses and expands so easily. The backside cellphone pocket and smaller ones inside (SD cards, etc.) set this bag apart from competitors'. And it has enough strength to carry the weight of my camera + lens on the hip. In summary, the 6L is the perfect shoulder-sling camera bag when structure is important while the 7L is perfect as a hip bag when versatility is needed. Different bags for different purposes.
Recently purchased my Peak Design Outdoor Sling 7L in Cloud as a replacement of my old Stubble & Co cross body sling and couldn't be happier, the compact design expendable to 7L is a versatile and stylish sling bag. Whether you’re a photographer needing quick access to your gear or just someone who enjoys outdoor activities, this sling meet all my urban and outdoor needs beautifully no longer require to carry out a backpack as well as a sling when traveling. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a new bag for travel or daily use!
7L is a lot of space and the bag is incredibly lightweight, plenty of pockets and features to make it super useful for traveling and general purpose use. The issue only arise when the xxs packing cube is used, is great to be able to swap them but they're very thick and fit little equipment, it would be nice to have a larger capacity insert for cameras even if it had thinner walls. Without the insert there are no dividers so you can fit a large camera/lens but not two smaller lenses as they would bump on each other.
Got this on Kickstarter. More than an outdoor sling, I wanted something simple to carry around my phone, wallet, notebook and other small trinkets on a daily basis on small walks and commutes.
This 2L sling does that perfectly. The backpocket fits my iPhone 13 Pro Max with a case and PD's mobile tripod, and the main compartment unit fits everything else I need. Key tether inside one of the compartments is amazing. The design is minimal and super sleek, I love it. And the shoulder strap is comfortable. I forget it's' there.
This bag is small. Do take that into consideration. Beyond the things I listed, you won'f fit much else. So if you have to carry a water bottle, an extra sweater or your lunch, this won't cut it. But if all you need is a very stylish sling to carry the essentials with extra comfort and amazing features, you can't go wrong with this sling.
The best sling I’ve ever had (and I've had many of them). Roomy. Cleverly planned (finally lots of pockets!). Made from prima materials. Incredibly comfortable - you wear it as if it were a part of your body. And beautiful.
