I bought this bag as my everyday bag to carry my phone and wallet when I don't have any pocket space.
Love the design and sleekness.
A mentioned in other reviews, I hate the design of the quick release clip. Even if I barely touch it, it releases and the bag falls to the ground. I hope the next version of this bag fixes this design flaw on a otherwise nicely designed bag

Very small, and able to carry camera(s)

I really liked Bev's video about the 2L bag. I was looking for something minimalist to carry my camera while walking in the streets without showing off the camera. While they don't promote it as a camera bag, I am kind of stubborn, and was able the carry 2 cameras, a Medium format, and a MTF, with spare battery for each.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Simple safety solution
on May 24, 2025
Posted by: RyanTT
So there's a lot of complaints about the buckle being easy to accidentally open and I came up with a simple solution that works for me. By attaching the included key bungee to the attachment point and then I added a simple key ring to the buckle release side of the strap. Now, once I put it on, I can clip the key ring to the bungee for safety in case the buckle is opened by mistake. When not needed, the key bungee can slip into the rear strap storage area. See photos.

Not safe for carry

So, I've had the 7l sling for a few weeks. And unfortunately there is a massive oversight on the locking clip. If you grab the sling at the clasp connection point, it opens and falls to the ground. I hadn't grabbed the insert for the bag yet as it was out of stock at the time and my camera hit the concrete and Ice without a protective layer .. camera was fine, I got lucky. But this is not a camera bag. And as much as I love the everyday sort of design. This is a massive fail being so easy to accidentally unhinge the connection. There is no safety mechanism at the hinge area whatsoever. And I have alot of PD products. Since the beginning. Pretty disappointed and will be returning

Not great for camera but decent otherwise

Was planning to use it with the camera cube. Unfortunately it just didn't work out for me. The cube fits what I want, but once it's in the bag, it just doesn't quite gel. There's a bit of space around the cube, but not enough to be useful. I wish the cube either consumed the whole space, or had more room, with a preference for the latter.
The bag, by itself, is decent. My two biggest complaints about the bag (especially coming from other PD bags):
1) I found it inconvenient to unzip one handed.
2) After being spoilt by how nice PD bags feel in had, I'm beginning to despise the grab handle on this bag. Wish it was a little wider or rounder. This just sort of cuts into the hand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible design flaw
on May 31, 2025

At first, I really liked the bag, until I accidentally touched the strap clasp, which opened and the bag fell to the floor with my camera. How could anyone make such a design flaw in the manufacture of a bag?!

Versatile Hip Sling, For the Right Uses
on December 10, 2024

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.

It’s the perfect everyday carry. It fits my everyday items (phone, keys, leatherman, charging brick, etc) plus my Steam Deck (in a Tomtoc case), charger, & Bose noise canceling headphones.
