Not as good as expected, and one fatal design flaw
on May 22, 2025
Posted by: MichaelH
I am quite disappointed with my Everyday Sling V2 10l (color: ash). I bought this bag as a result of glowing reviews on the web and my great experiences with the Slide strap, but I very quickly noticed that the bag is not as good as it could have been. Is is less useful and usable than my other sling-style photo bags and seems to be more designed for form than function, although I don't think it's truly successful with respect to form either.
Minor issues:
The material seems robust but its feel is way too rough. I don't think it is able to damage any clothes, as some other reviewers mentioned here, but for a premium product, the haptics are underwhelming. It's very stiff (without actually offering much protection) and plasticky, it's rough, it just doesn't feel right. It might be purely a matter of taste but I also don't like that the strap is obtrusively shimmery, as opposed to matte.

Medium issues:
Due to the fairly rigid tortoise shell shape, there is less available space in practice than expected. When, e.g., divided into three parts using the FlexFold dividers, the outer sides of the main compartment are significantly less deep than the middle. This makes it hard to fit medium size lenses (oriented in depth direction) at the bottom of the outer sides.

This makes it hard to fit medium size lenses (oriented in depth direction) at the bottom of the outer sides.
The FlexFold dividers are quite rigid and not as protective as I would ideally like them to be. Simple padded dividers would have been much preferable here. No matter how I try to optimize storage for my gear, some space is always wasted and invariably stays empty.
The front pocket does not expand much and thus barely fits anything of substance. This is exacerbated when using FlexFold dividers in the main compartment that push against the front pocket. Similarly, when using the dividers, it is very cumbersome to pack or take out a tablet/laptop from the back pocket, as the dividers push against that as well and bend the overall shape of the pocket.
Major issue:
The bag has one fatal design flaw. I should NOT have to completely unthread and reinstall the strap just to change the side of carry! I want to carry the bag sling-style across my left shoulder when not shooting (as I am right handed), and quickly change it to my right shoulder after taking out the camera, as then, I will be using the camera cross-body on my left shoulder and want to balance out the weight. And I cannot, without taking, like, 5 minutes to completely change the strap alignment, which is an absolute no-go in the field.

There are very two obvious solutions to this, and I am surprised neither has been chosen: Either, offer two separate quick adjustment buckles, one on each side, instead of just one. Or, make the padded part of the shoulder strap movable/slidable itself, something that other manufacturers' bags provide in a perfect implementation. Or offer both!
I can't believe this hasn't been thought of, as I'm sure this is a very common use case when actually using the bag in the field. That I am effectively unable to quickly change carry sides of the bag disables the main use case for me.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor product from disappointing company
on December 5, 2024
Posted by: Peter Dering
Even at a discount this is an awful product. It’s clunky and stiff, doesn’t allow for carrying of anything beyond a small notebook, and sits awkwardly because of how stiff the material is. A mediocre carry bag and a horrible camera bag. Just another disappointing product from an equally disappointing company.

More like “Weak Design“

This is marketed as something that can be worn around the waist. It’s not. The 6L strap is way too large for my women’s Size 12 hips. I’m not a skinny person, but it’s a joke to say that you can wear this around your waist. The bag itself is fine. Nothing special. I’m so horribly disappointed.

Great features, well made

I’m a wedding photographer and bought this bag because I needed easier access to things like batteries, flash triggers, an extra lens, and a place to keep my keys and phone. It did exactly what I needed!

Awesome bag with great features

Recently used the 3L version of this sling for a trip to the UK. I only used it for my Sony a7IV with a normal size lens and it fit the camera excellent with easy access when I needed to pull my camera out to shoot. I would say this bag is perfect for one camera and a lens attached but not much else. I carried a few extra batteries just in case so if you need more room, I would size up to the 6L. Also it is definitely water proof/resistant - had no issues being out in the rain and keeping my camera safe. Very comfortable for all day wear as well.

Perfect little sling for street photography & EDC
on December 18, 2024

I love the built and looks of the 3L sling. For me, it's perfect for street photography or EDC. Not to bulky and easy to maneuver. It is a little cramped but it's a 3L so can't expect much. There's also bigger options if you want to carry more gear but the 3L is near perfect for my needs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fits my edc full frame setup with room for extras! I carry a r6 mkii with RF 35 attached, iPad, matching slide lite, and RF 50 1.8 on the side and it’s still not overpacked or bulky

Nice bag with some wee issues.

The registration tag is sewn into the inside seam, making it impossible to read the serial number to register the product.
The "magnetic" security is not explained nor is it obvious.
Anyone attempting to put an 11" tablet in the tablet slot will need one that is made out of rubber, otherwise expect it to break.
