Very small, and able to carry camera(s)
on May 21, 2025
Posted by: gines
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!

Not safe for cameras

I purchased this sling through the Kickstarter campaign and have been using it regularly since it arrived. First and foremost, it’s a fantastic sling-lightweight, with just the right number of pockets and a perfect size. I use a lot of Peak Design products daily (backpacks, slings, camera gear, iPhone case). Not because I was a fan boy (though I am now), but because after trying gear from various brands, Peak Design’s products usually come out on top.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case with this sling. While I appreciate how well it integrates into the Peak Design system and works with the small camera cube, I find it unusable as a camera bag. The main issue is the buckle: it opens far too easily, requiring only slight pressure. On several occasions, it has opened accidentally, and only by luck did my camera avoid damage. This is especially risky when the camera is attached to the capture clip, as it could fall to the ground unprotected.
If this were any other brand, I might have given it two or three stars. However, since Peak Design has to hold up to its own high standards, giving more than one star wouldn’t be appropriate.

The buckle is way too easy to open accidentally.

This sling has a major weak point and that's the buckle. It's SOOO easy to just barely brush against it and it pops open. This happens to me ALL the time in both sling and waist modes, and then the sling and everything I have in it hits the ground.
It would be great except for that major issue.

Good bag but very bad buckle design

Got the bag on Feb. Been using them til now. Overall a good bag. But the bad design of the buckle really brings this to a 2 star. Don’t even remember that how many times the bag fell off cause the mis touch of the buckle. Lucky I catch it all the time. If you are going to carry a camera. Don’t get it. Not safe.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hidden Gems

If you take the time to watch the videos and learn all the hidden gems, you'll really love this bag. It's so we'll thought out, very light weight and just the perfect addition to an all day carry.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use both 2L and 7L and I really like them both!

I bought both the 2L and 7L Outdoor Sling and have used them both. The 2L is my everyday carry and I love it. It has a nice shape even though it's not structured, I really like the quality of it, the zipper etc. My only little gripe with it is that I can't get the "padded" part exactly right if I want a snug fit in front but it's good enough. What I have in the 2L is my sunglasses, a pack of gum, wallet, a bunch of keys in different key rings and car keys, airpods pro and some tissue paper since I'm a dad to small kids.
The 7L I use occasionally but it works great for those purposes, mostly when we bike ride as a family I can store snacks, keys, wipes, tissues, toys, some clothes like gloves if it gets too hot etc.The stabilizer strap is great, it works great when cycling. When I ride my bike alone I can also have my drone with me in my bag, I have the DJI Mini 4 Pro and its bag can fit nicely inside of this, I can still have some other things around it and because it has a stabilizer strap then I can actually bike ride with this which I couldn't with only the Mini 4 Pro and its bag.
I understand some people have had the strap come off but that has never happened to me, I really like the buckle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not Perfect, but a great bag!
on April 15, 2025

from Scotland
I bought this in anticipation of a trip to the USA knowing I'd be spending time in both NYC and Washington DC and wanted something reasonably small [easier for getting into museums etc] and easy to use but big enough for my gear [Nikon Z6 III with L bracket and Z24-200mm lens plus additional Z 40mm].
When it came at first it was a bit lacking in rigidity but I didn't't want to add the PD camera insert which I thought would take up too much space. Instead I used some spare dividers for another bag which provided just enough stiffness without reducing the available space significantly.
Tramped round NYC and DC for a total of about 10 days with the bag with me pretty much all the time [5-6 hours each day] and it was great. Once the strap was set right it just sits in the small of my back comfortably but swings round easily to access the camera. the small additional strap is useful to hold it in place but is easy to detach if you want to swing the bag either for access or riding the subway.
The front pocket was fine for holding my Slide strap [most of the time I just had the Cuff attached] and I used the rear pocket to take a box with spare batteries and memory card [I kept my phone in my trouser cargo pocket where it's easier to reach].
The main [perhaps only] criticism is that the strap buckle is a little too easy to undo and it's possible to unclip it while attaching the secondary support strap - once you're aware of the problem its ok, but it still caught me out a couple of times.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Functional but Disappointing Fabric Wear
on April 14, 2025
Posted by: KC
from Toronto, Canada
I purchased the Outdoor Sling for a recent trip, and while I found the size to be just right and it comfortable to carry, I was disappointed to notice some pilling on the back fabric after just three weeks of use. This was unexpected, especially considering the great quality I've come to expect from other PD products. While the sling served its purpose during the trip, the fabric wear was a bit of a letdown.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
