This would be a great sling IF: 1) Peak Design did not slap their logo all over it, which cheapens the product (and their brand) and 2) If it came in the Sage color. Therefore, I'll continue to use my XXS packing cube and strap as my everyday sling instead of the 2L. YMMV of course.
This is a great sling to use in combination with the 45 l backpack when traveling. You leave the backpack in your room and take what you need for exploring. The only thing I wish is that there was room for a water bottle
Bought on a whim and this could be my favourite bag. Slim when it needs to be big when you want to squeeze more in and now bought the cube and fits an a7 with 24-70 perfectly and space for more Bits. The phone slot is superb. The issue with the clasp is resolved with a strap from another company with works perfectly that crosses over from the two ends. Either side of the clasp.
I bought the 2L version and I felt that I need a little more ,7L is too much. When PD launch the 4L was a instant buy. I love the design the front pocket with zíper is perfect and the dividers inside are really useful. The only thing is the buckle of the strap is too easy to unlock accidentally or intentionally, I had to create an extra secure layer (aka a clip to hold the buckle close)
I bought this to use for a trip to Chicago and I am so pleased with how well it worked. I used the anchor link key tether from my backpack to tether my phohe into the back pocket and it worked so well all day long when I needed to access my phone for photos, transit info, tickets, etc. without having to worry about dropping my phone. The tether that came with the sling also works well for this purpose. The interior space was ample for what I wanted to carry. I liked that I could switch the padded portion of the strap from right to left carry as I like to switch back and forth. It was comfortable, convenient, and durable--everything I wanted it to be.
I was looking for a sling that wasn’t too bulky, looked nice, and held enough stuff to lighten my pockets. This is it! Love the material, the strap is top rate. Love this little bag!
I purchased this sling for a two-week trip to Croatia, and it turned out to be the perfect travel companion. I needed something compact and packable that could still fit my Nikon Zf w/ 40mm Prime paired with the Camera Cube V2 XS (which deserves its own glowing review). This sling delivered.
With the Camera Cube tucked inside, I still had room in the front pocket for essentials like keys and coins. The interior organization made it easy to store small items such as a lens cleaner, a travel-sized sunscreen, my wallet, and phone. While it was a snug fit, I developed a great system, tucking the top of the Camera Cube under itself and adjusting the dividers to hold my camera strap and other accessories. I ended up keeping my wallet inside the main compartment for quick access and used the rear pocket for my phone.
If you’re looking to travel light and are willing to put a little thought into your setup, I highly recommend this bag. I only brought one lens, but with a few tweaks to the Camera Cube layout, I could have easily fit a second. A fantastic solution for minimalist travel photography.
bought it and as soon as I saw the buckle packed it up and returned it. reading all the other comments confirmed my suspicion that the buckle will easily open by mistake and leave you picking up your broken camera from the ground. otherwise everything seems great. if they fix the buckle design i'll definitely buy it again!
