Minimalist Travel Companion
on June 7, 2025
Posted by: EricB
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.

Exactly what I was looking for

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 would recommend this to a friend!

More than I expected

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 would recommend this to a friend!

Brilliant bag for everything.

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 would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for exploring

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

Good sling/waist pack, but not a great camera bag
on July 5, 2025
Posted by: YoohooX
As an small every day sling or pocket reliever sling and waist/fanny pack it works out great. If you're looking for it as a camera bag, I'd look elsewhere even if you can fit a camera cube into it. It's relatively packable with the only structure in it being the padded back.
I don't mind the strap since I mostly wear it as a waist/fanny pack, but if you wear it mostly as a sling and will swap between shoulders, it can be annoying since the padding won't align with your shoulder. It's also easy to unbuckle, which can be a good or bad thing depending on the person.

Great Sling, disappointing strap

Very nice Sling with two flaws regarding the Strap. 1st I'd like the closing mechanism to be reversed. I mean that if i undo it with one hand, I'd hold the short part of the strap. 2nd After it got in contact with the hook side of a velcro strap, it started fraying and is now a bit unsightly. Other than those two things im Very happy with the quality and design of this sling, and i hope itll serve me well for quite some time.

Not a camera bag
on July 27, 2025

Bought this a month ago to lug around my camera and it is not padded or safe enough to protect your camera. It’s good quality but definitely more so for travel than for your camera’s protection.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
